As an 8 year old kid I remember the excitement my friends and I had leading up to the night this show aired. Everyone was talking about how they couldn't wait to watch it. And then it came on, my family and I sitting in front of the TV eager to see how they would follow up the original Star Wars movie. I think we were about 15 minutes in before my dad announced "Let's see what else is on" and unceremoniously changed channels. My friends and I didn't really talk about the Holiday Special after that. It was a bit like someone we knew had died and we didn't want to tarnish their memory by saying something negative.

Oh man, THIS IS Gold. I remember seeing this when I was a kid, and believe me I was 100% sold to Star Wars until this... I was left a 9 year old kid, an empty shell of my former innocent self, wondering how could adults do such things. Why would anybody ever do this? Next thing you know I was starting to wonder why was Star Wars actually good? Having lost all bearings my life crumbled and by the time I was 18 I was doing hard time in federal prison. It all started with the Star Wars holiday special. I still got it easy though, lots of me friends who watched it with me at the time eventually commited suicide. Once you see this, there is no turning back.

You definitely need some of the *Amazing* Neil Breen movies in your life. They are each, 1 1/2 hour long over-Indulgences into one Man’s messiah complex, and his need to still feel Super sexy into his early 50s. If you watch the entire collection: you will be able to pick his nutsack out of a line up of nutsacks, get an idea of what kind of young woman he has a fetish for; and finally know his complete outlook on what the ills of society are. Hint: it’s corrupt bankers, corrupt politicians, corrupt businessmen, and lastly corrupt religious figures. He also always figures out how to fit in a 4-8 minute long speech into his movies, about what’s wrong with the world, and how he knows exactly how to fix it perfectly. Usually as some sort of magically-powered God/alien/alien-god -Like being.

Let me paint you a picture: it's 1978, and Star Wars has been out a little over a year and a half or so, but it's no longer in theaters. There's no VHS, no DVDs, no KZread, and no other Star Wars movies, TV shows, or anything else for you to fall back on and watch. This, this travesty, this atrocity of a TV abortion, this relentlessly awful steaming pile of atomic crap, this is the only new Star Wars available for you to watch. After you get done watching it, you can't go see any other Star Wars, because THERE ISN'T ANY OTHER STAR WARS!!! There is nothing to, for lack of a better term, "cleanse your palate." This is it. This is what you have to watch. This was all. When Star Wars was later re-released to theaters, that was our only opportunity to see the "real" Star Wars again. I watched this when I was 10 years old, and I have never forgotten it. I remember thinking, even at 10 years old, that Carrie Fisher was stoned while she was making it. It was...excruciating, and I LOVED EVERYTHING STAR WARS!!! It was the cinematic equivalent of finding out there's no Santa Claus. It didn't just change you, it changed us all.

Thing is, I SAW the original broadcast of this. I'd seen Star Wars in theaters and literally everything in the world was all about Star Wars. It was basically a cash tsunami that just kept paying out. Every major franchise had a variety show and/or holiday special, so it only made sense in the 70s for Lucas to throw his hat into the ring and try both. Honestly, it should have paid off - most variety shows were completely terrible but they raked in a ton of cash and gave aging actors a shot at rebooting their careers ("Bea Arthur, Torch Singer") but all I remembered of this was that it was really weird and forced and didn't seem to be much about Star Wars at all. And it always pissed me off that we were expected to speak Wookie. Like what the fuck, Lucas? You couldn't even throw us a bone with some subtitles here? We have to listen to Chewbacca's family mooing and grunting for ten to fifteen minutes at a time and just GUESS what they're saying?

After about a half hour into it, I was the only one watching, and kept watching until the bitter end as a form of apology to my parents and self-punishment for rushing them while holding onto the hope that something cool was going to happen. I’m at least happy to say that though I remember that evening very well, I have very little recollection of what happened in the program.

I had to laugh, because that was the time period that I grew up in, and it is nothing like what the kids have today! Does anyone notice when the Mother Wookie is cooking, her cooking pot looks like some old wash basin your Granny had for hand washing clothes or for taking baths in? I was like, why does the person on the T.V. cooking show have a nice pot, and Mrs. Chewbacca has to use Granny's old wash basin? She is one of the stars of the show! Her husband is a star!

Yeah that movie divided the fan base -- close to -- down the middle. Had Mark Hamill's constant protesting been listened to by Rian Johnson, I'm absolutely positive that it would have benefitted the film. It's so arrogant how others condescendingly talk to Mark about the proper portrayal of Luke Skywalker, as if they know the latter better than he does.

This guy is the most entertaining guy on KZread! He doesn't annoyingly edit his stuff every few seconds and talk fast like Jeremy Jahns! He doesn't use fake words, the word like every five seconds or put a y at the end of every other word for absolutely no reason and is subtle in his sarcasm, I love it! The whimsical retro music bed is another nice touch! This dude should get more hits then most of the shitty music videos and the horrendous pop stars who make them! Definitely not for the ADHD crowd! A breath of fresh air!

I saw it as a 11 year old and we couldn’t wait for the day it came. It was new Star Wars. All we had was the figures and trading cards.

4:29 To be fair, Chewbacca never had subtitles in the original movie. However, _that_ was a very clever decision, making the audience have to infer what he was saying based on how other characters responded. Apparently, the people making this didn't think about how that would work when the audience doesn't understand any part of the conversation.

Bea Arthur was probably the best part. Okay the scene still kind of sucked but at least Bea elevated it somewhat. And if nothing else, Bea sure could sing. (The Golden Girls gave her another opportunity to sing in a bar, too.)

I'm old enough to have watched this when it came out... I was 10... I will say the following, for when you ask questions like "Why?" For the younger folks who weren't around or don't remember the 1970s... there was a law passed on January 1st, 1970 that stated "All TV shows and specials for the next 10 years are required to be in the 'Variety Show' format." If you're a child of the 90s, you just don't understand Variety shows of the 70s... they were required to have comedy sketches, musical interludes, an Art or Dance routine, some sort of "talent show" portion... you know... a variety of things... think Carol Burnett show, The Brady Bunch Variety Hour, Sonny and Cher... yes... even the Muppet Show. They were all Variety Shows and that's what dominated 1970s Television... so when the Star Wars Holiday Special came out in the late 1970s... it too, fell under the "It must be a variety show format" special. If you watch it with that mindset, you understand the Star Wars Holiday Special.

Cool! Love the channel!

Hello darkness my old friend... I hate to be that guy who just points out his favorite bit, but it was such a great moment where the second I thought "That song playing right now would be perfect" and it happening.

I've been looking for a copy of this for years!!!! Thanks for showing me that all that time was spent wisely.. lol

You obviously we're not alive in the '70s.. Believe me, stuff like this was the normal..

Have you seen the Donny and Marie Star Wars episode? Makes this Holiday Special feel like "The Empire Strikes Back" by comparison!

The Brady Bunch variety show (Jan sings Elton John). Sonny & Cher then after the divorce The Sonny Bono Show. The Charo Show (Hoochie Goochie!!) and on and on. Everybody had a variety show back then.

Still BETTER than The Last Jedi.

10:58 this is what Indiana Jones saw when exposed to the crystal skull.

7:21 That was, however, a remarkably prescient depiction of a flat-screen TV for 1978.

Unfortunately, I found this special on KZread, and I made the mistake of my life by trying to watch this shocking thing. It's an insult to Star Wars and human intelligence!

Can we give TLJ the Holiday special treatment? We can just omit it from cannon.

Nope. Especially since TLJ is the best SW film of the new era.

Oh God! I remember watching this on TV in 1978. As a Massive 11 y.o Star Wars fan. Itt was a horrible show!

Dang at least this is better than the Last Jedi

Yes! a video a week sounds awesome I'm sure your page will blow up after that

I love younger people experiencing this thing. It was so very much of its time. TV of this era was Carol Burnett and Battle of the Network Stars. I was a kid back then and this was simply old TV execs trying to figure out this new Star Wars thing. A perfect example of the really old trying to figure out the new big thing. God, I hope I’m not this out of touch.

rrpostalagain ..I totally agree; a bunch of old execs got together and tried to capitalize on the success of the movie. Everything moves so fast now it's actually difficult to pin down a modern analogy
