The Star Wars Xmas Special

Wow, I didn't realize how effective my brain was at blocking this from my childhood memories. It may take a while (14MB), but well worth the download.

1. VH1 told me that it sucked.
Because apparently most of the script is Chewbacca and his family making Chewie sounds??

But it must be cool seeing something that old--just today someone here was telling me about the California Raisins Christmas Special....

Ahh, nostalgia.

2. It sucks so badly
that to say "it sucks" doesn't justify its suckiness.

Along with Ford, Fisher and Hamill, Bea Arthur and I think Harvey Korman is in it.

It's so horrible you have to see it.

8. I have faced my fear...
NOW I RELEASE MY ANGER!

It was a typical Hollywierd schlock Christmas, attached to Star Wars. Poorly.

11. Only unique...
in that they made a Christmas special for a blockbuster movie...
TV show Christmas specials are awful also. But the shows they make them for aren't things that change the way movies are made.

6. I couldn't either. "Maybe tomorrow when I'm more awake" I tell myself.
Lies. All lies.

7. This has to be the worst thing I have ever seen.
And I sat through the "Green Acres Reunion Movie" where Arnold got lost in New York City. I have a pretty high-tolorance for bad movies, but what the hell were these people on when they made this! Half of the budget had to be for Cocaine. This is just awful.
