Happy Life Day! Today we celebrate the worst Star Wars incarnation. If you thought Episode 1 was bad, you haven’t seen anything until you see the Holiday Special.
As stated above, on November 17, 1978, CBS aired the Star Wars Holiday Special. They were only allowed to air it once. George Lucas hated this holiday variety show weaved into the Star Wars Universe.
Back in the 1970s, the holiday variety shows were very popular. Many Hollywood Stars and Singers had their own holiday variety shows. Some of them like Bob Hope had yearly holiday variety shows. It made sense to CBS to create a variety show tied to the immensely popular Star Wars universe.
The problem was it really stunk. It was even too weird and bizarre for my 8-year-old Star Wars fanatic tastes. The only saving grace with the 9 minute anime like animated story introducing Bobba Fett.
In honor of Life Day, I have posted the Holiday special below. Because of some restrictions, some of the music and the Bobba Fett cartoon are missing. But have no fear, the Bobba Fett cartoon is right below it.
Enjoy and have a wonderful Life Day.
