StarWars.com Admits The Holiday Special Exists!

[Rutabaga]

The official SW website just spent a few days saluting the infamous SW Holiday Special. I found this to be quite funny, considering the fact that George Lucas has basically disavowed the thing for 30 years and pretended it didn't exist. :lol

Here is a link to a portal page that contains further links to the articles in the series:

Because I am such a doggone old fart, I can proudly say that 30 years ago, I actually watched this show the one and only time it was broadcast. And cringed in horror through the whole thing (except for the toon that introduced Boba Fett). I guess that makes me a SW Holiday Special survivor! :dance

I too found that interesting that they acknowledged it. I guess they figured that after all is said and done, it's not going away, so might as well poke a little fun at yourself and have a laugh...

I did not see it when it originally aired, but I have watched it. Believe it or not, actually two or three times (though I wasn't fully "watching" it - I had it on the background while I was doing some other stuff). That was enough... :)

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I've never seen it. :(

[Dasquian Belargic]

^ Ditto.

I feel like I'm missing out.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Haha, I have. It's... something else, that's for sure.

Found this on youtube. Yall above who have seen it will have to confirm that this is actually part of it.

But if it is....O_o

I was born in 1983 and I have seen the holiday special so shame on you if you have not... since real SW fans know no matter what Lucas has screwed up in the past, present or future it can't get worse than the Holiday Special.
Even Howard the Duck is like a second Casablance compared to this show.

Shame on you if you havent seen it.....?????

No actually, Congratulations you managed to avoid the mind scarring. Any serious fan will avoid like a dose of HIV.

Actually, the Clone Wars cartoons (the new ones) are verging on Holiday Special bad in places. So yes, it appears to be actualyl possible to make somethign worse.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I love the clone wars cartoons. :love

I've seen it on a semi-big screen. It was vomit inducing.

[Miranda Tarkin]

Clone Wars or the Holiday Special? Or ... both? o_O

[JMK]

Sorry, the holiday special.

That is the most awesome piece of trash ever. I just watched the first two minutes. It's almost like a live action robot chicken parody.
