As a child, I watched this on TV on the night it aired-and loved it. For years, when I was older, I couldn’t find any evidence that it ever existed, making me start to wonder if I had dreamed it. The emergence of the internet proved that it was real! (I still kind of love it, LOL!)

I, too, thought I had been dreaming some odd Star Wars stuff for years, remembering Stormtroopers and wookiees on some woodland planet. We didn't have cable yet and were very dependent on the weather for a quality broadcast through the air, to our rooftop antenna. So I didn't remember very much else.

I personally LOVE seeing these looks into a time where Star Wars was popular and a big hit, but BEFORE it even came close to becoming what it is today. A New Hope wasn't the title, the imperial march hasn't been written yet, no one knows Darth's secret...it so fascinating!

[@dennismoon6693]

I was expecting just one giant sin: that it exists at all. I came across the special on youtube the other day. Even knowing its reputation, I tried to watch it out of curiosity. I made it through five minutes, maybe ten. This is something that should be allowed to pass into obscurity, known only as the rumor of a rumor of a memory - something people will claim existed, but can never actually prove.

My mom talks about this every year 😂 she said she never got to see it when it aired and was so devastated she missed it. Then she couldn’t find it till she saw it on VHS and she couldn’t even finish it. She said she was so glad she didn’t see it when it aired 🤣🤣🤣 this is awful

[@ThubanDraconis]

I remember being a little kid and all excited to see it. Then, when it started, I remember thinking it had to get better soon. I don't know how much more I watched before I gave up, but even as a little kid I found it painfully bad.

[@kennethfharkin]

The trauma of “one chance to see it” in the 70s was real. My entire Cub Scout pack raced home to catch this and it left us all scarred. Your mom may have thought to trauma of missing this on its one airing was bad but I am here to state seeing it at a young age while in love with Star Wars was far more traumatizing. Imagine seeing this, not being able to rewatch the film and having to wait years for another movie.

[@SunnysFilms]

I have seen it in full. After Nostalgia Critic's review of it, watched after years of thinking it was something Al Yankovic made up for his White and Nerdy music video, I sought it out out of morbid curiosity. I - I feel like I survived something truly terrible and watching others make fun of it is my therapy.

If you read the script, you realize that Chewie's family WERE saying words and we were hearing growls without subtitles for no reason.

[@jbvader721]

And George Lucas can't pass the buck on that idea.

[@DEATHBYFLYINGCDS]

Given how horrible the dialogue we understood is, think about how bad their dualogue is

[@TheSaltySeaman]

IIRC, they were going to have the subtitles per the script, but Lucas scrapped it, and said wookies don't get subtitles. To this day, they don't, but it really made it awkward for this special, which already had 1 million things wrong with it.

[@jbvader721]

It took 40 years before I actually got to see it. And found out why it never aired again. Also, the second wave of Star Wars action figures were actually going to be based on this special. They replaced Chewbacca's family with droids, and only released a total of 8. Plus a mail-away for Boba Fett.

For your information (I'm not forcing you to read this): Me and my brother watched this movie, but in the french version. It has a lot of content removed, being roughly 1h12, but lemme gonna say... It was a challenge. We both said that if we were able to sat through all this ''movie'', we'd be immune to cringe for good. And, in fact, it did work. Whenever I see something that make me want to puke my breakfast, I think of this movie and feel a lot more cringeproof. What I'm trying to say is... Watch this thing.

[@rorylynch7775]

The reason Mark Hamills face looks so weird in the special is because he was in a car accident after A New Hope so had to wear heavy makeup for this special

[@briansayles1615]

I recently did research on Mark Hamill's 1977 car accident, and there are conflicting accounts about just how serious the accident and his injuries were. Hamill himself has not been consistent with the details. In a couple interviews he said his car flipped and he broke his nose and cheekbone and had to have cartilage from his ear to reconstruct his nose. In one BBC interview from 1980 that can be found on KZbin, he said his car only skidded and he only broke his nose. All of the details about him needing a complete facial reconstruction, or having to wear heavy makeup in this special, or the Wampa attack being written into Empire to explain his new face, are all more myth than fact.

1:21 Kenny Baker wasn't in the Holiday Special. They just used the remote-controlled R2 model because they didn't need him as a character, but had to use R2 because the Star Wars fans who bothered to tune in would scream if they didn't see him. George Lucas once said that he wanted to destroy every bootleg copy of the Holiday Special, if possible. That boat sailed decades ago, George. Still, although he never wanted to use anything created for the Holiday Special in future Star Wars films, the Wookiees still live in the same-type treehouses in Revenge of the Sith.
