So I accidentally took some acid mixed with cough syrup and then I fell down a flight of stairs and suddenly I saw these horrible looking Wookies who were screeching for what seemed like hours and Bea Arthur sang to me and some old four-armed transvestite was making me dinner and I saw recycled footage of A New Hope and what must have been 3 days later I woke up in a puddle of Bacta-fluid and my own tears.

Like any great sci-fi, this film asks the audience questions. Unfortunately in this case, they're questions like: What did I just watch? Why does Chewbacca's family have so much random technology? Why are they named Itchy and Lumpy? Why are there rock bands in the Star Wars universe? Can acting be more half-assed? Why does Chewbacca's dad have an orange singing girl fetish? Who do I blame for this crime against humanity?

The first ten'ish minutes is nothing but subtitle-free Wookiee banter, it's so retarded and bold and daring and I'm going "This is the funniest thing". 1 hour and 50 minutes I was crawling around dazed, begging for George Lucas to spoon feed me the prequels , make it stop, end it all.

Astonishingly abysmal, how anybody thought this was a good idea for a respectable series such as Star Wars I can't imagine. It's like a childrens pantomime, poorly put together, poorly planned, boring as hell and completely embarassing to watch. I couldn't bring myself to bear the full two hour viewing, I simply couldn't submit myself to any more of this voluntary torture. There are bad films. There are films so incredibly bad that you feel like projectile vomiting, but then there's this.

If you haven't seen this, you're probably thinking, "I'll watch it with my friends! We're gonna make fun of it!" Don't do it. The whole thing is so incredibly boring, awkward, and uninteresting that it's impossible to enjoy even on that level. Watching this will make you bored out of your mind and physically sick.

There's only a few reasons to complain about the internet. YouTube commenters are terrible. Hot takes are ruining sports coverage. And I can now add to the list that it enabled me to see this horrible trash. The Itchy fantasy scene may haunt me for all time. The only reason this isn't a 0 is because the animated section.

For completists only. This had to have been created as something else entirely and only had Star Wars slapped on it because of the Box Office success of the first movie. The characters don't have any resemblance to characters in the Star Wars universe, other than physically. For the first 15-20 minutes you might find it "so bad it's hilarious," especially if you're watching it with a group, but before the half-way point (save for the cartoon) it becomes un-watchable and tedious beyond belief.

Profound boredom punctuated by moments of absolute insanity. I can't even begin to understand some of the decisions made by the writers and directors here. Who decided long scenes of Wookies screeching at each other was a good idea? It hurts to listen to. Why does so much of it just consist of Wookies watching videos? Skip it and just watch a youtube summery for the funny parts like STIR WHIP, STIR WHIP, WHIP WHIP STIR!

Its one redeeming quality: the Bea Arthur scene is actually pretty good. She's a great performer. The Wookiee stuff, though... good GOD is that hard to sit through for more than 10 seconds.

I don't want to give a film a "0" score when there are 101 possible scores on the spectrum, but I really can't think of a single redeeming quality to The Star Wars Holiday Special. It does have all your favorite Star Wars characters and they all do absolutely nothing. I really wonder how the segments in this film were written. Is it possible for anybody to find this entertaining?

George Lucas said: "If I had the time and a sledgehammer, I would track down every bootlegged copy of that program and smash it." That's exactly the same thing that proves it's a shit, and the same thing that will make any ill person have a morbid need to watch it, just to finally regret being a curious human being.

"Abysmal"? "Horrendous"? "Painful"? The English language simply lacks the vocabulary to accurately and precisely describe how soul-crushingly awful this film is. I think I'll weep and cry in a corner now.

What I find interesting about this special is how dedicated it is to showing life in a society under fascist oppression. You have soldiers barging into homes, threatening families on the holidays and destroying children's toys out of petty spite. You have whole ways of life being shut down over Suspicions of Rebel Activity, and TV shows propagandizing how much worse it could be. It's a weird focus for a holiday variety show, but I respect the attempt and I wish modern Star Wars would try again.

I can't quite decide if this was a worse addition to the STAR WARS saga than the "Midiclorian" revelation in Episode one. Hm.. Right. let's stay positive here: The STAR WARS Holiday Special has ... uh.. no JarJar Binks. It does, however, have wookie families and.. singing... I think what I'm trying to say is that this is the movie equivalent of cancer.

Usually a flick this bad gets at least 30 points for camp value, but... no such luck here. 2 points for Harvey Korman, another 2 for Bea Arthur (talking her way through a "song" a la Sophie Tucker), and 1 for Diahann Carroll's soft-core porn/musical number. Almost had to subtract a point for Carrie Fisher singing the final number.

Best. Bad. Movie. Night. Ever. You have not lived until you've seen Grandpa Itchy watching VR porn in the living room, or Bea Arthur dancing on the tables of the Mos Eisley Cantina. And the moment where Lumpy's stuffed bantha is ripped up by a Storm Trooper looking for contraband? Most evil thing the empire ever did, and the saddest moment in the franchise. I'm not even joking, that poor Wookiee child.

Were I a STAR WARS devotee, I'm sure I would see this as a violation of what I believe in, and a humiliation of my loved ones. But I was just left numb. You want minutes upon minutes of unsubtitled Wookiee antics? Diahann Carroll as a singing fantasy for the pleasure (...) of Chewbacca's father? Endless and painfully stupid skits which embarass Art Carney and Harvey Korman? Bea fucking Arthur? Terrible animation for Boba Fett's debut? Harrison Ford looking bored? Lameness unlimited? You got it.

I....Wha-.... I mean, ask 10 people what the strangest part of the Star Wars Holiday Special is and you may get 10 different answers. Is it the searing family drama performed entirely in Wookie without subtitles? Is it watching lil' Lumpy watch an entire instructional video in real time? Is it the appearance of musical guests Jefferson Starship? Is it the inexplicable five minute Cirque Du Soleil dance break? No, the strangest part is Boba Fett riding a dinosaur.

I don't see what the problem is with the Star Wars Holiday Special. The clue is in the title - it's a holiday special, so it was supposed to be a family entertaining special, probably at prime-time on TV. Throw in a few minor celebrities and a few musical numbers and you have something the whole family can enjoy! I didn't like it, but it wasn't as awful when considered as what it was.

If you thought the Ewoks were bad, wait to you see the Wookie children. But the show is noteworthy for it's animated short, which includes Boba Fett. My guess is that this is single biggest reason fans had such great expectations for Boba Fett--way cool in this short--and partially why they were so disappointed when he finally appeared on screen in *Jedi*.

Carrie Fisher wasn't the only one strung out on cocaine during the making of this. It was certainly widely administered just to get the crew though the shoot. Should have been provided to the audience as well. Lucas slapped the Star Wars logo on everything else, why not on cocaine? [Rifftrax can't even save this one. While there is the occasional funny quip it's mostly just them whining about how bad it all is. They also break into giggle fits far too often. Avoid if you can help it.]

An obvious cash in of the worst possible type. It's just literally mind bending how anyone thought this was a good idea. It's so awfully out of character for every single Star Wars character involved. I honestly can't believe that this actually exists, let alone that I've seen it. Pure embarrassment for all involved I think is the only way to describe it. They should've just gone the full nine and had Vader give a round of high fives and knuckles to everyone.

I saved myself a lot of agony by watching the YouTube-5-minutes-version. Well, what is there to say... Chewy was amazing as always.

The actual "special" is pretty horrible, but the cartoon is actually really good. But man... Bea Arthur sings.. and Leia sings... and various wookies jump around and do household chores... this was REAL bad.

You watch it with someone to make fun of it because it's so bad. It has no other value... just don't underestimate sitting down to make fun of it.

Since we’re not in the 80s, I can’t even say “Cocaine is a hell of a drug”, but it would have gone some way to unpacking how on earth this mad, loopy though oft times dull and tedious creation came into being. There’s a part of me that has a quiet affection for the sensibilities here; this is not a lazy and thoughtless cash-grab in its construction, but a bizarre collision of peak Star Wars with the broadest of campy variety shows, contrasting Ford, Hamill and Fisher’s uneasy disconn - Full Review

As bad as its reputation would suggest. The sheer amount of runtime padding makes this less tenable for so-bad-its-good movie nights; I prefer trainwrecks I can't look away from for that sort of thing. The scattered few funny lines and gags aren't worth sifting through the chaff. The Boba Fett cartoon short is indeed decent, although not in the ways I expected; namely, it feels like some acid-enhanced underground fanzine comic that someone decided to animate. I'd watch a whole show like that.

Curiosity got the better of me and I finally ended up watching this holiday special. I would love to hear what people who saw this live thought of the whole affair. I'm sure it was made to sell toys to stupid kids. I'm sure a portion of them ate this up but for the kids who had some small amount of taste and their parents what was going on in the heads throughout this awful production. I gave this event a few points because it would be useful for a Star Wars trivia night.

Inconsistent, but mostly intolerable. I like Bea Arthur, and she gave it her all, but yikes, the writing. All the Wookie stuff killed my soul.

Weird, fun, creative, good music. As I recall, it was slow paced and surreal, but not in an emotional way, more in a sleepy way (which isn't bad, but is situational in whether I like that feeling)
