The Absolute Trainwreck of the Star Wars Holiday Special
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 гру 2020
- The Star Wars Holiday Special is a 1978 American television special set in the universe of Star Wars. It's set between the events of the original film and The Empire Strikes Back.
It stars the main cast of the original Star Wars and introduces the character of Boba Fett, who appeared in later films.
A Star Wars comedy variety show musical that fails on almost every level, it should not come as a surprise that behind the scenes there was trouble every step of the way.

The best part of the SW Holiday Special to me is in the Weird Al Yankovic parody, "White & Nerdy," where he went to a shady alley and purchased a bootleg VHS copy of it for HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. :D
I still sing "white and nerdy" whenever i hear "right and dirty" playing somewhere. :P
Oh yeah I remember that from the video!
There was a time when it was like that
@@KRAFTWERK2K6 *ridin' dirty* , my guy
That and him editing the Atlantic Records Wikipedia page (in the music video) to say ATLANTIC RECORDS SUCKS! because they wouldn't authorise him to include You're Pitiful on the Out of Linwood album, despite James Blunt loving his parody of You're Beautiful.
y'know, I rather love that last line, "it might not be canon, but it IS Star Wars."
It's a fun counterpart to the anti-Disney sentiment of "it may be canon, but it's not Star Wars".
Everything is canon. Zero forgiveness.
The holiday special is on Disney+ so is it cannon?
@@MastemaJack Oh I hope so lol
It is canon. The Mandalorian show mentions it.
Carrie Fisher had one of the very few surviving copies of this disaster. She would play it as her own subtle cue that the party is over. Goodbye Princess, you are missed.
I heard that in order for her to agree to play Leia in the Skywalker Saga trilogy she wanted Lucas to hand deliver a DVD copy of the Holiday special to her.
And he did, begrudgingly.
@@JRock424 that's my queen 👑
She’s great!
She was high as a kite during the filming of it but I think that aids in the viewing. Lol
thats awesome
Why would the party be over? She made two hugely successful Star Wars movies after that holiday special.
I firmly believe that both this special and Luke Skywalker's appearance on the Muppet Show are canon.
also that one time the muppet babies went to dagobah and hung out with yoda
Except who wasn't proud to be on the Muppet Show? That was big time.
@@YT0091 It's not about pride so much as how LUKE SKYWALKER was the guest star on that episode of the Muppet Show, not Mark Hamill. Though he showed up too.
Hell yeah!!
The Muppet Show Star Wars episode was great.
".....No one sets out to make something bad....."
SyFy Channel and The Asylum say hello!
Their Children of Dune is a cornerstone of my sci do collection. And I love all 3 Cube movies. SyFy is like the Wierd cousin you have that never has enough money and always has cool ideas
Rian Johnson says hello.
@@insane_troll
Shhhh... You cannot pick on the "specially abled" like that. Ppl are listening and those kind of jokes are not tolerated any more.
No cool. Not cool.
They murdered their #1 top-rated show, Z-Nation, to give its time slot to... “Whose Line is it Anyway” and “Impractical Jokers” reruns or other crap with Dave Coulier and the ugly middle daughter from Full House. I think.
@@fearanarchy Did they ever do an episode about She-Ra’s First Boner?
As silly as the Star Wars Holiday Special is, in hindsight, I gotta say ---- watching this as a kid in the 70's was literally MESMERIZING! We felt like we were getting a NEW Star Wars Movie at home for Thanksgiving. Watching this special is actually my EARLIEST life memory.
I was one of the 13 million who saw the Holiday Special at the time of original broadcast. At 5 years old, owning a few figures but never having seen the movie because there were no VCRs, this was an AMAZING TV show!!! Not nearly as bad as everyone now makes out. Have you seen the Donnie & Marie Star Wars Special?!? Compared to that, Art Carney made this special into Citizen Kane. The REAL Bruce Campbell would never say such horrible things about the real Star Wars sequel!!!
VCRs did exist, it's just that very few people had them, they were so expensive. If it wasn't for a few people recording it. It would not be accessible today as a few copies turned into thousands of bootlegs sold at conventions. Not sure who cleaned it up, but it looks better on UA-cam than any tape I've seen.
VCRs exited but they were the size of a house and only the richest 7 kings of Europe could afford them.
Not gonna lie..."(Watch Me) Whip, Whip, Stir" is a straight-up jam, and some of the late Harvey Korman's best work. Fight me. 😁
Let the battle begin 😂
That character deserves an action figure. All the arms, all the kitchen tools.
@@snukastyle Whoa, wait. Partial inspiration for Dex??
@@TitularHeroine Maybe a little bit. But Harvey's cook was closer to an alien Julia Child than a short order cook with a mysterious past. Though she could be retconned into being the same race!
@@snukastyle Her name is Gormaanda.
"It's just a bunch of letters!"
I think Dan just uncovered the big secret behind Star Wars names!
Nah, many are just bad puns.
All names are just a bunch of letters
It's a Life Day miracle that this was made in the first place.
🎼" Just one more round, friend. Then Homeward Bound, friend. I'll see you in my dreams.
BEA ARTHUR IS CANNON.
Bad as this is its STILL BETTER than the shit show that is the Disney Sequals and solo combined.
@@karinations2009 I like to imagine that "Golden Girls" really took place in Mos Espa...
I watched the special the day Bea Arthur died, and that song *hit*.
For the longest time I thought this was a bad dream until the internet showed me it was real.....
I actually watched it’s one time viewing on CBS back in 1978.
I can't hate the thing. It's bad, it's bizarre, but it's a thing that happened in history and everybody was in it! Also, Snaggletooth is technically a Holiday Special figure. He ain't in the movie and his cardback photo is a still shot from the Special. And years later in the Power of the Jedi toyline they changed his name to Zutton WHICH BEA ARTHUR CALLS HIM!
That's really cool info. 👍
It was also the 70's,...... 😉
I remember having the Snaggletooth figure as a kid but don't think I ever even heard of the Holiday special until UA-cam came out. Its really strange that they thought a variety show would some how be interesting to the audience who would be more excited to see a show that included more space battles and action like the original movie. The cartoon is really has more of a psychedelic look than the ones on Saturday morning. They never made a Star Wars cartoon until 1984 after the final film at the time had come out. It didn't last long one called Droids and the other based on the Ewoks. Recently we all got excited when we saw the millennium falcon again. Star Wars mania really took off when they relaunched the movies and put out the prequels. Children of the 70s remember Star Wars and the impact it had in pop culture and to the generation of youth at the time.
now question is who had the very rare blue full-size (not half-size) snaggletooth that was part of a SEARS only toy set around that time... (note: not me)
As an avid Star Wars fan since I can remember, I never actually watched it fully until 2014 or so. I always heard how bad it was, I’d seen stills on the internet, heard the rumors that Lucas wanted it destroyed.
But I always told myself, “it can’t be that bad. It’s Star Wars!”
Oh. It was absolutely that bad.
I always tell people that however bad you heard it was, it's actually worse
Look up the Rifftrax version. It's the ONLY way to watch this train wreck carrying dumpsters on fire 🔥!
Imagine how I felt as a little boy who saw it when it originally aired. I was so excited that there would be Star Wars on TV, but then there was this train wreck and I was crushed.
@@tmf866 I was six going on seven at the time, and I remember being so vividly disappointed and figuring out part way through that the whole thing was an exercise in killing time and stringing the audience along to get to a few short minutes of the actual cast and any Star Wars action at all. When a freaking six year old sees through the sham that's when you know it's a fail.
It still doesn’t explain Mark Hamill’s eyeshadow 😄
They had makeup slathered all over his face to try to make him look like he did in the first movie, because he had an accident that required reconstructive surgery.
and that accident inspired him getting hit in the face by a Wampa in Empire as a means to explain his different look.
He was driving a brand new BMW he bought with the money he made from Star Wars.
Jedeyeliner
@@davidjacobs8558 So weird that someone his age would drive a BMW. I just looked it up and they say that the average age of a BMW owner has dropped in recent times to Mid 40s. I had heard for decades that it was a Corvette but the internet says different (yup I know his next movie was Corvette Summer).
There are two major references to the Holiday Special in the first season of The Mandalorian. In the pilot episode before Mando’s bounty is frozen in carbonite he nervously explains he’d like to get back to his planet for Life Day. Later on in subsequent episodes we see flashbacks to when Mando’s parents were killed by Separatist droids. They’re all wearing the same Life Day robes as Chewie from the holiday special.
You forgot arguably the biggest and most obvious reference. Mando's rifle is heavily based on the design of Boba Fett's rifle from the animated segment.
@@lanceturley7745 Hasbro now sells a Nerf version of that rifle branded for the Mando show
It's one hundred and fifty doll hairs. Frick that.
I’d argue that musical variety shows hadn’t actually fallen out of favour at the time this aired. They were still a thing. The final nail in the coffin SHOULD have been this show, but that honor more likely goes to Pink Lady And Jeff. 😄
It's funny. I BARELY remember watching it back in 78. Over the years I felt it was a fever dream.
I still have my theory that Bea Arthur's character in the Holiday Special is Asajj Ventress, having changed her identity and gone into hiding after Order 66. I don't care how many canonical sources you want to throw at me that say otherwise.
Ackmena (Bea Arthur) is canon. There’s a story about her in an official book. The same for the 4 armed cook.
It's only a matter of time before they cameo in a Disney+ project 😉
In this Holiday Special - Boba Fett rides a giant sea monster dinosaur and defeats another more fierce dinosaur!
See I made it sound like it's the best holiday special ever.
It's not his first appearance tho... He was in a parade before this but no one knew who he was....
Watching Redlettermedia do this on Best Of The Worst was hilarious. They spent an entire episode delaying and putting it off before they finally got around to it. Lumpy and Itchy. I think that's all that needs to be said.
Part of my yearly Xmas routine is to watch the two-part Redlettermedia special on the SW Holiday Special.
It truly deserves what is said about it. It's an incredible disaster lol.
THE CRINGE IS STRONG WITH THIS ONE.
I was 7 when it was originally broadcast, and curiously I watched it years before I even saw the movies themselves. Of course I was already familiar with the toys, so I knew the main characters. But for decades (until the Internet), I remembered very little details other than it was "That Star Wars TV episode where they meet Chewbacca's family."
Watching it as an adult, nostalgia is not embellishing it.
Same here, I was 3. All I remember it is that it was coming on and my whole family was waiting for it, I was playing star wars in my room and my big brother called me it was starting. So I ran into the living room and jumped into his lap to watch it. Regardless of how bad it is or isn't (and it is... but charming because of it), that is the kind of memories that make my family and I love Star Wars !
and that there's Star Wars theme disco version. It was popular when it first release but i hated it.
I remember being excited for it because it was going to be the first appearance of Boba Fett who was only mentioned in the original film. I remember being really disappointed.
If you haven't seen this thing, it's impossible to actually put into words how bad it actually is. It's not even FUN bad. It's appallingly bad in a way that makes it seem like you would have to be on drugs to make it, and then on opposite drugs to watch it. I can't imagine ANYONE made it to the end of it's broadcast run. Not kids. Not adults. Not people with a broken TV who couldn't change the channel. No one.
Imagine my disappointment when I got my parents to watch in an attempt to show them how good Star Wars was! They hadn't seen the movie. Just this. Such a horrible experience on all levels.
There are no words spoken for like the first 10 minutes of the special. Just Wookies purring.
1:09 "It was roughly 90 minutes long". You lie! It was eight hours if it was a minute!
It was a trial run for 2020.
Only 8 hours? It felt longer...
This was showed in Australian TV at least 2 years in a row on a public station
The Rifftrax - Star Wars Holiday Special is the only way too watch it.
I was curious, so I went directly over to see what Rifftrax was. I didn't make it passed 20 seconds. LOL
So this wasn't a childhood nightmare that I had..this was real.. thanks Dan for making me remember this 😑😑😑
Sorry, but TSWHS IS now considered canon, at least Ackmena is. She appears in a Star Wars novel written after 2017, which is considered the new canon, so I'm still waiting for my action figure from Hasbro. And Life Day HAS been mentioned in The Mandalorian as well.
and yet 2003 clone wars *isn't*
@@Omabatfartsbruh Dirge is too cool, i used to have his old toy
It's not that the whole thing is canon, just the specific elements that get reused. It's kind of clever, what they're doing... Current writers can basically pick and choose among all the weirdness from the first 30 years of Star Wars for the good bits, while ignoring the stuff that didn't work or gets in the way. The Disney canon wipe has basically functioned like a low-key Crisis event, in practice.
(I mean, "Solo" name-dropped Teras Kasi of all things, and that game wasn't strictly canon even at the time.)
Just watched this Christmas eve after the traditional Chinese food dinner. Wanted to show my kids this mess. Think I was 9 years old when this came out. To say I was pumped that there was a Star Wars special on TV was an understatement. Was so very confused watching this train wreck. Wookies growling at each other for two hours straight. I had forgotten about this and just thought it was a fever dream from my youth. Thanks to the internet it lives on. One thing I didn't notice as a kid was Luke. I mean Lumpy was straight nightmare fuel to me back then, but Luke's makeup and vacant unblinking stare was soooo creepy.
YES!!
I remember seeing this when it aired, my mom even recorded it on Betamax. 7yo me was like...
...uUh...wut?
I was thirteen when it was on TV. I remember segments, particularly the cartoon. I liked the Art Carney character though! I do remember Carrie Fisher singing and my mother telling me that her parents (Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher) were singers. Later I found out about the Elizabeth Taylor scandal!
A Jurassic Park holiday special.. There is a thought
I actually learned about life day in the X-Wing book series lol
Now I want an action figure that looks like Bea Arthur...but isn’t.
You could get a Aunt Beru figure from the power of the force line, and repurpose it as ‘looks like Bea Arthur but isn’t’
Heck, you could even scratch off some package letters to say,
Aunt Bea!!
The funniest thing about her being here is that her former *Maude* co-star had a new show called *Diff'rent Strokes* airing at the same time at NBC. But that show was at 8:00 PM/7:00 PM central, long before her scene aired. I still feel like on some level CBS wanted to punish her for leaving that show (and leaving the cast members of the proposed revamp in the lurch) along with doing the same to Harvey Korman for leaving *The Carol Burnett Show,* so this is how they did it.
0:17 Think of the worst holiday special you've ever seen, now imagine there's something worst than that.
Me: I thought of 'Star Wars Holiday Special'
Also Me: (Star Wars Holiday Special is so bad that he's somehow still right)
Lego here!
It's not true anymore..... there's a worse Christmas Special now.....
It's no longer king of the mountain of bad Christmas specials.
I absolutely love the holiday special. It's a guilty pleasure of mine. I really think it's a fun little look into the weird lives of our favorite characters
Thank you for the ❤️ and the amazing content. Happy Holidays
Whip stir whip stir whip whip stir
I got to watch it when it aired on tv. The nostalgia for me is remembering how excited we were for new Star Wars... I was only 10 years old and it was really cool to see all the characters from the movie on a tv show. The badness of the show didn’t really register at the time, but many years later I couldn’t really remember what the show was about and I think that was my brain’s way of saying, “you don’t need to store this.”
Agreed!! I remember freaking out that the Stormtroopers broke Itchy's toys. I didn't even remember it was a variety show.... but I was only 6 at the time.
This party is over
- Mace Windu, Attack of the Clones
Holiday Special Schmoliday Special. I won't rest until they recanonise the Star Wars Christmas Album, featuring Young Jon Bon Jovi singing "why do you get a Wookiee for Christmas (when he already has a comb)?"
shocking on how the wookie dad was watching spicy stuff and no one said nothing
As Nostalgia critic said in his review, "Why cant we see his hands?! "
"The Star Wars Holiday Special" is still better than "Than Last Jedi"
God help us...that's true. (Shudder!!!)
Ну умора, какой остроумный.Никто бы не догадался бы до этой шутки
Solid burn
*NO!*
I feel like this show heralded what would be UA-cam cooking videos of the future.
“Not for nothing that is the funniest part of the show.”
Me: Aight, imma head out.
How weird is it that this special was the first appearance of Bobba Fett.
Not as weird as seeing Hedy Lamarr with four arms cooking.
@@richardgadberry8398 It's HEDLEY! :D
I'm not being facetious when I say I enjoy the holiday special more than the Disney trilogy. It's so funny and bat shit crazy that it manages to actually entertain me. The disney films bored me at best and annoyed me at worst.
At least the Holiday Special could bring the core characters together.
You ain't lying. The Disney sequel Trilogy is an abomination
I agree. I saw it on tv when it originally aired as a kid, I owned the book too, with Chewbacca’s family. Much rather watch it than the Disney movies. More entertaining.
Can I just say how gratifying it is that people are *FINALLY* starting to recognize/admit that the goddamn Disney trilogy *SUCKS?!?* Especially "The Force Awakens"??? I *still* get pissed off when I think of how much people raved about Episode VII when it first came out...😡😡😡
@@WestIndianAK AGREED! I was so pissed off watching Force Awakens once I realized they were not going to do anything new and it was just a remake of New Hope I'd been tricked into paying for. Haven't been back to the cinema to watch a Star Wars movie since.
Lumpawaroo is actually canon! He's in the the Aftermath books, the first trilogy of books published after the Disney purchase, and the lead up to Force Awakens.
Freaking EPIC production get these guys a Netflix show already!
The SW HS has Bea Arthur in it therefore it's awesome
When are we getting our Black Series Ackmena figure?! 🤷♂️
It's only a matter of time before she cameos in "The Mandolorian" (or another Disney+ SW thing) 😉
Without Bea Arthur there is no Ackmena so not gonna happen
@@Stiffkittens01 Hey, if they can digitally resurrect Peter Cushing to bring back Tarkin...😉
More like "The Horror of The Star Wars Holiday Special".
Anyways, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a belated Happy Life Day to all the Wookies out there! 🎄🐻🎆
Merry Christmas Mr and Miss Galaxy...and Greg.
The Wookie family scene where they are just growling for 8 minutes is my favorite part... so bizarre I find it hilarious!!!
Years ago I made my mom watch The Star Wars Holiday Special but I was kind and fired up the Rifftrax version. When the segment where Luke is in the show comes on she had an exclamation of realization and horror at the same time: she had seen this part back in 1978.
My parents were both in the Air Force and were stationed in Japan when Star Wars came out and hit it big, but it would be another year before they would be stationed back in the States. November 1978 to be exact. "I was flipping through the channels and saw this! It was so bizarre I had to turn it off! Oh my God!"
Thanks to a little reference in the Mandalorian, the Star Wars holiday special is officially canon in the Star Wars timeline
Thank you toy man! Love all your content. Merry Christmas and may the force be with you.
The Star Wars holiday special looks like a total acid trip.
15:05 Just hearing him say those names is pure comedy gold.
Also "The Faithful Wookie" has even been added to Disney+ under their Vintage Star Wars collection.
I said to myself, “I think TG can bring a fresh and interesting perspective to a subject that has been talked about to death”.
And you know what? I was right. It was a nice episode, a very good one. Merry Christmas!
I’ve never been able to sit through the whole thing, but the animated bit is great - Francks is my second fav Boba voice, right after Wingreen.
The best way to get through it is by watching the Rifftrax version. They even skewer the commercials.
Guilty pleasure, I watch it every Christmas.
I remember watching this vividly as it aired locally in a suburb of Dayton, Ohio. I was so beyond confused, but immediately obsessed with Boba Fett.
As an adult, all I can say in retrospect is clearly back in the 70’s Cocaine was a hell of a drug.
Think of it this way: The Holiday Special is the MOST IMPORTANT thing in the SW universe.
Why?
It was the first thing that officially made Star Wars a "going concern". Before this, it was a movie. But with this, the characters and the settings proved that they had life beyond just the movie. The special cemented Star Wars as a BRAND, not just a film. It showed there was more out there than we'd yet seen. This is the first thing that appeard as a continuation, almost a sequel, of the original movie. It's not a standalone thing. It is set firmly after Ep. 4 and before Ep.5, and it interacts with them.
So, while it is awful, and funny in a very bad way, it's also supremely important. I proved that Star Wars was a brand that could be adapted to various kinds of media and could even take a beating... even if it was from itself.
I don't know about you, but to me that makes it more cannon than any of the three new movies.
Question: why is the word "canon" so damn popular in 2020?
God bless you for this one, Dan
Watching this video on Christmas Morning... Perfect! Cheers Dan and Greg - Merry Christmas! You guys Rock!!
Animated part with Boba Fett was pretty cool imo. And it was the biggest amount of screen time he got before Mando.
(Edit) Also, I just learned that it was supposed to look like Moebius's comics, whom I really admire. I never really got that, but it may be why I like that short film.
Merry Christmas guys! As we say where I live! J'vous souhaite un joyeux noël! :)
Take care and be safe, I hope you all have amazing time and presents
That Boba Fett action figure commercial. That really takes me back.
Dan,
The last statement you made was so true and insightful!👍. Hope you and Mrs. Galaxy and Greg and family had a very Merry Christmas!🙏👍
Trainwreck? you mean masterpice.
They at least had enough sense to get Luke, Leiea, and Han together on screen by the end.
I don't know if I want to finish watching this video it may ruin me forever.
Ah yes, the holiday special. The masterpiece
Technically, the Star Wars Holiday Special is Episode 4.5.
This special had REWRITES?!🤯🤣
Excellent as always Dan!
When I saw the premiere in 78, I was giddy and blown away! I just wanted more Star Wars with the characters i loved!
"It wasn't what the fans wanted to see..." What the fans really want to see? A BluRay set of the original trilogy in its original format. Han Shot First!!!!
Quadrilogy on Blu Ray - don’t forget Life Day!
I remember seeing this when it aired in the 80's latin-spanish version and me was like...
...uUh...wut?
HAY VERSIÓN EN ESPAÑOL LATINO?!

Good content, merry christmas bro and thank you for keep them coming
Absolutely love this video! Great job! Even as a failed project, the Xmas special event deserves to be celebrated. Your humor is on point as always! Fantastic job! I also appreciate that you said that maybe you love Attack of the Clones! That movie totally deserves more love in my opinion! Love your channel very much! Happy holidays!
I've said this before: I saw this on first broadcast and all I can say is thank god for OG Battlestar Galactica or this special might have killed my interest. My lord this is just....just.
I'm a Star Wars fan, and I actually like the Holiday Special. In fact I watch it every Christmas. Yes, it's not great, but it's kinda fun.
Oh okay you can watch anything then.
I was trying to forget this nightmare! Thanks a bunch!
Look who cleans up so well! Nice cut and trim, Dan. Keep up the great work on your many shows!
I’d still rather watch it than the last Jedi.
And I'd rather watch last jedi over rise of Mary Sue
I saw it when it aired. I was 6. As a kid I thought I liked it.
Happy Christmas!
Bea Arthur and The Cantina scene is cannon in my head!
Great "Life Day" special. I've got a cross-up for ya'll, if you can identify the co-source:
Bea Arthur: "Occupation"
Boba Fett: "Bounty Hunter."
Bea Arthur: "Did you bounty hunt last week?"
Boba Fett: "No."
Bea Arthur: "Did you TRY to bounty hunt last week?"
Boba Fett: "Yeah.."
Bea Arthur: "Look, this is your last week of unemployment. Either you bounty hunt someone this week or we'll have to change your status. Do you understand?"
Boba Fett: "Yeah."
Bea Arthur: "Sign here."
I despise the Holiday Special. Which is why I watch it every year since I first found it on UA-cam.
Happy Life Day, everyone!
For all I've heard about the background to the holiday special, I learned a lot from this video. Thanks 👍
The holiday special is AWESOME BAD. I watch it every December.
Strangely I remember this when I was a whole 4 years old. I tried watching this thing a few years ago. I got about 2/3 the way through. It is abysmal. Between it and Mr. Magoo's holiday special, not sure which is worse.
Mr. Magoo's A Christmas Carol is one of my favorites! It played every year on Channel 11 WPIX when I was a kid!
I've been choosing my own head-canon for Star Wars for years.
Also, November 17th? Isn't that a little early for a Life Day tv special?
Also also, how on earth *did* they get Harrison Ford's cooperation for this?
This is 100% my own speculation, but at roughly this same time, Lucas and Spielberg were developing Raiders Of The Lost Ark. They may have made it clear that it would be in the best interests of Ford's career that he take one for the team, so to speak.
What a great and very informative video!
Fortunately I was a kid when I saw it and was hungry for anything star wars after seeing episode 4 at the local drive-in twice (I cried my eyes out when I couldn't see it a third time).
