A crazy Star Wars holiday show with acrobats, rock bands, and virtual sexy sea monkeys? It was 1978 and the “rules” of the Star Wars universe had not been written in stone yet, so it was a case of “anything goes”! Some call it the worst Star Wars show ever created, but we call it a weird, wacky, FUN time capsule! Who would ever think of combining Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and Carrie Fisher with Bea Arthur, Art Carney, Diahaan Carroll, and Harvey Korman?!
We break down all the FUN of the Star Wars Holiday Special including neon acrobats, Itchy and Lumpy wookiees, Jefferson Starship, virtual reality sexy sea monkeys, an alien cooking show, a bad Max Headroom wannabe, Art Carney tricking The Empire, Princess Leia singing, enough false endings to make LOTR jealous, and Golden Girl Bea Arthur tending bar at Mos Eisley Cantina! We also share our own “Top 10 Alternative Ideas For Star Wars Holiday Specials”!
