thanks to KZbin this classic will live on to eternity..strangely captivating..up there with the Brady Bunch variety hour of the same period..you can’t take your eyes off watching it.

OMG. I forgot how bad that was! 🙄😄

The cooking bit seems more like a Monty Python sketch than Star Wars. Wtf

I swear by all that's holy I'm making my family watch this through Christmas Eve

I was 3 yrs old when I saw this. All these years I thought I imagined it, some pseudo Star Wars show on TV. I didn't remember much other than feeling disappointed and scared. Watching it again finally answers a lot of questions.

Worse than the kiss movie and thats saying something

How the fk did I get here ?

I see nothing wrong with this show I can't believe we just lost James Earl Jones RIP Darth Vader some of my online chat friends don't like it but I happen to be a big fan of Bea Arthur and Art Carney and Jones I like this special even though it hasn't to do with Christmas 🌲 Season or it has no songs

I don't think that even putting a chick in this could make it better... No matter how gay they make her.

Still better than the more recent incarnation of Star Wars.

Be kind rewind

Surly they knew how bad this was before they aired it?

Like the guy said, "look at it this way" Ms. Harris gets to rent more movies and her son Brian gets to rail you in the back room later tonight.

They trained her to be a slut and ask that lady about her son Brian lol

Happy Life Day everyone. Hoping you didn't have any bad flashbacks!

And then there’s Maude.

So Chewy is a dead beat dad who abandoned his family? Lovely 😂

God bless the MVP who preserved this abomination for all to see

Its just wookiee grunts...

I remember watching this when I was 10 when it first aired and at the time I thought it was funny, now I don't know what I was thinking, it was awful!

Today 💚 I am mainly cooking Vegan Pad Thai for my extra special boyfriend. In quantum field theory. Yummy. 🌈🌈💚🩵🩷🧡💜❤️💝☯️ (+ as well it is my favourite brothers dinner and he is called ancient emporer tarot ) 😎💝😎 Downstairs from me there is little doggie 🐕 called Obi. He does want to come and live with me. ( where he lives now the people are muppets )

What the hell is this I've never seen this I was born in 1979

Hit diffrent wothout acid

I don't think the force was with them when they made this show.

Gruesome.

watching this i understand now why as a kid i enjoyed only fighting scenes in the original "star wars" trilogy - everythingelse was just as horrible as this "holiday special". then lucas had started to build up on that horribility in prequels and disney on sequels and spin-offs - even battle scenes stopped being enjoyable.

What did i just watch?

Haha. It’s terrible, but still better than the Farce Awakens or anything out of the Disney Star Wars stable.

Lucasfilm and Disney won't strike this down because they know it will only become stronger in death...

It’s crazy, as a 7-year-old Star Wars-obsessed kid in ‘78, I vividly remember experiencing this as it was broadcasted. In fact, I watched it on WHIO, Channel 7-the same broadcast that’s this is recorded from.

this was used at Guantánamo until it was ruled inhumane by The Hague.

This is the second scariest horror movie ever made the first being threads 😂😂😂😂

Wtf 2024, stil confused

This cast makes about as much sense as the commentators for the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight... And let’s not even get started on how this 1978 holiday special looks like a 4K remaster compared to that live Netflix fight in 2024

I was 15 when this aired on tv. 61 now, and still adore Harrison Ford❤

Good thing this isnt cannon

How about a another Star Wars Holiday Special?

Its amazing the guy playing Chewbacca looked that way naturally.

OMG WTF is this?

Nothing says Star Wars like an appearance by Bea Arthur.

I love watching this stoned as hell. Around the holidays it’s a holiday stoner movie😊 Only something a stoner like me could appreciate while stone.

I found out about this in Weird Al white and nerdy.

The CBS special logo is supposed to be followed by Peanuts.

Erm... This is awful.

Wtf is this?????

I still love the animated portion. Marks VO have really improved haha.

2024 let's go boy!!!!! 🎉😂

It's not the same without the commercials.

Ok so a few things: 1. I dont think this plot is a bad concept I think they just executed the worst way possible. 2. If you were gonna have Wookies have THAT much dialogue a good idea would be to put the translation on screen like subtitles. 3. MANY of the scenes and musical numbers drag on WAAAAY too long. Edit those to make them quick paced and faster 4. Many scenes are also random and unnecessary. Cut those. We dont need them. 5. Maybe also making it a musical was a bad idea. And I love musicals but here? Didnt work. 6. Less Wookie screen time. Just…it was too much. I get we needed to see his family but the story should’ve been told from Chewbacca and Hans side not the families side. 7. That being said, if it had been thay way we could’ve gotten more action and more scenes in space in the Millennium Falcon with Han and Chewey instead of at his families home having awkward dialogue Anywayyy chilll

I just finished watching this for the first time and I have a confession….its SO bad that I enjoyed watching it 💀
