Yes, it features Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford, but nobody who saw this kitschy TV abomination back in 1978 was surprised that George Lucas wanted it erased from human memory.

Although Pandora's Box is best left unopened, it's impossible to deny the curiosity impulse. Just be warned that it's worse than you can imagine.

If the prospect of a two-hour Star Wars Holiday Special conjured up visions of "May the force be with you" repeated ad nauseam in your head, this show on CBS was a welcome surprise.

Yes, it was that unprecedented. Yes, it was that bad.

You will curse god for this show's mere existence.

The Star Wars Holiday Special is a work of such baffling insanity that every Star Wars fan deserves to watch it once - but probably only once.

Audience Reviews for Star Wars: Holiday Special

Jan 01, 2020I recently spoke about how, in my opinion at least, Attack of the Clones is the worst theatrically released Star Wars of all time. The reason I had to put that "theatrically released" qualifier in there, is because of The Holiday Special, because it absolutely blitzes Clones when it comes to how low it sinks. The Holiday Special isn't just a bad Star Wars movie, it isn't just a bad movie full stop, it basically isn't a movie at all.Gimly M Super Reviewer

Dec 15, 2015This is the only thing Star Wars creator; George Lucas has since distanced himself from, in the entire history of the Star Wars franchise. This awful television Christmas/Holiday special has hardly any sense of a complete plot, neither does it reflect the true vision, ingenuity, technicality or story world depth of the Star Wars Universe. In fact it almost feels like a parody of the franchise overall, mostly due to it's shoddy and camp production value, weird mind-fucking skits and downright terrible scripting that was bad enough for the main cast of the original film to return to. I might give it some credit for the skits and clips having their moments of almost sparse ironic entertainment mostly associated with the para-cinematic value of Star Wars, eg. Boba Fett cartoon and Cantina musical scene. Everything else is just downright terrible, it makes the Prequel Trilogy look like "The Godfather", you really just have to see this thing to believe it, and No!!! I don't encourage it on any level (just stay away from it).Luke E Super Reviewer

Dec 22, 2013Happy Life Day. Worse than you could ever imagine, The Star Wars Holiday Special lives up to its reputation. Unbearable to watch, it's just amazing how atrocious Star Wars can be in the wrong hands. George Lucas tried to wipe The Star Wars Holiday Special off of the face of the earth, but the power of the Dark Side was too strong.Dann M Super Reviewer
