I decided to subject myself to The Star Wars Holiday Special, all 1hr 48m of it. I had heard that it was awful, George Lucas tried to get all the copies destroyed etc... but what the hell, I was bored. Jeez, it's bad, really really bad.
The first 20 mins or so were actually in the so bad it's good territory. From Chewbacca's family being introduced like it was an episode of Happy Days, to Chewie's son being yelled at by his Mum to do the dishes, to, and i kid you not, some bloke giving Chewie's Dad some VR porn as a "Life Day" present!
It's utter terribleness stops being charming and just starts to grate after that a while though. It mostly takes place at Chewbacca's family home and they are just growling at each other, without subtitles, so there is no real dialogue going on and it gets irritating quick. This is all interspersed with cameos from who i assume were famous people of the time (1978) singing songs or doing skits like a cooking show or DIY.
I'm glad i watched it though, if only because now i know i will never ever have to watch it again! 2/10
Oh yeah, at one point Princess Leia randomly bursts into song!
