Happy Life Day, everyone! The Star Wars Holiday Special is one of the most perversely misbegotten disasters in television history. Broadcast during yuletide in 1978 at the height of Force mania, Holiday Special was proof that virtually anything with the words "star" and "wars" in the title could make it onto the air. George Lucas was so mortified by the final product that he later he said he'd love to take a hammer to every copy; Carrie Fisher claimed it didn't even exist. That would be tough, however, since TSWHS is one of the most bootlegged films of all time. It's hard not to see why! Thrill, as Chewbacca's hideous family members (with names like Itchy and Lumpy) communicate through a series of monosyllabic grunts -- for minutes as a time! Cringe, as Chewy watches television! Recoil, as the Jefferson Starship rocks out with a Life Day carol! Befuddle, as Art Carney, Bea Arthur, and Diahann Carroll turn in cameos! The curious may be inclined to check this one out for the sake of so-bad-it's-good chuckles, but this movie is deadly. See for yourself. We dare you.
