A couple of fun facts, both involving Carrie Fisher: firstly, she was SO coked out of her mind when doing this special, she had absolutely NO memory of filming it _at all._ Secondly, it's verified that she had the only pristine mint copy of the Holiday Special at her estate; she used to use it as a threat to show houseguests that overstayed their welcome :lol:
Mark was actually fresh from a car accident during the filming of this. And because Empire Strikes Back wasn't finished yet, they didn't have a reason for Luke to look that different....so instead they decided excessive use of makeup was better. His animated self, however...looks like Don Notts.
In every interview addressing the "Christmas special", every cast member (Anthony Daniels, Carrie Fischer, Mark Hamill, etc) either laughs about it or flat out denies it's existence.
Damn, that's shocking, I didn't even know this, why didn't the nostalgia critic make a note of this, or was it supposed to be some form of common knowledge, because I sure as shit knew nothing about it, but yeah, that's totally crazy, 🤔
@@MynameisCharlie Yep, that's what I was about to say at 5:50. Heck, his surgery scars were even worked into the opening of Episode 5 (when he got smacked in the face and knocked off his Tauntaun by that Wampum).
*Note To Viewers & Subscribers* - Star wars holiday special, this has to be the worst I've ever had to endure from the nostalgia critic, we've gone through about 95 episodes, and we have seen our fair share of bad movies, but my god, nothing holds a candle to this piece of shit, this broke me, mentally and physically, after watching this one, I consider every other bad nostalgia critic movie automatically good compared to this one. I've never felt more broken and exhausted in my life from a nostalgia critic review, may god save us all, and prey they never make another.

If you wanna see and experience real hell, watch After Last Season without fast forwarding if you dare. Its the single worst movie in existance imo. At least something happens in Star Wars Holiday Special, watching After Last Season is as intresting and pleasant as watching soil erosion in Sahara on a hottest day without any water while being attacked by bullet ants.
This is basically channel-surfing in the Star Wars universe. Think about it. They watched a circus event, the Food Network, MTV, Cartoon Network, DiY, and TLC, waiting for Han and Chewy. If they made a new "holiday special" I'm sure it'd be the Wookies watching the Star Wars equivalant of UA-camrs
You asked what they were thinking, and there actually is an answer. Not a GOOD answer, but an answer, nonetheless. Star Wars was raking in money in 1978, & George Lucas knew the next movie was a couple years away. He wanted to keep Star Wars fresh in people's minds, and this was the result.
Season 3 is gonna be really good for the Nostalgia Critic with what he reviews, plus the first episode of him going over commercials happens in that season.
I should point out that there's a new star wars holiday special coming out on disney plus, and surprisingly it looks much better and its done in lego style. And it has completely different plot.
Never saw this one, although this would be a cake walk for me to get through as bad as it looks & sounds. I could even get through the whip whip stir part just fine. I already sat through my personal movie trauma & survived so I would say bring it on Star Wars Holiday Special!!! 🙂
Check your illusions at the door. "The Star Wars Holiday Special" is genius. Oh, sure, it'll cost you your immortal soul to watch, but it's genius. It's like the apple Adam and Eve famously snacked upon--a myth-destroying wake-up call. Once you see this, you'll never look at "Star Wars" the same way. God bless America 🤖
Here is a quote from george lucas about this horrendus special "if i have the time and a sledge hammer i will destroy all copies of this special myself" yeah he not only regret making this he despite the fact this continúes in people's memory's and even elements of this actualy went to the canon like bobba fett and his conexion with han, not only that if you ask to the cast about this they will or denied the existence of the especial or cringe so hard, i'm sorry you have to go through this but was funny seeing you reaction great video man i hope you enjoy season 3 of NC.
Jingle bells, jingle bells What the effing hell? Where did this come from? And why is it so effing dumb? Pepsi Max and vodka made this more bearable....yes a weird mix but it's "healthy" and I feel fine!
i love how at the end of the video you are literally dying and crying its funny. oh i mean, im sorry you had to watch the star wars holiday special. P.S. I've never actually seen the special but just seeing clips makes me want to cry aswell WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS
On last week's Christmas season, people had gone out insane by watching this accursed specials. They should have watched Critic's review first, he already had sacrificed himself for all of us to sit through this tunnel of horror.😓
You know, I'm starting to think the joker from batman must have watched star wars holiday special, it was just to much for him, and it broke his mind, my god, I can finally sympathize with the joker, we now understand what drove him to madness!... 😂

My god, that's hilarious, i'm sure it was very effective, i'd run for the hills, 😂
Actually, she was drunk. Same thing with Harrison Ford.
I don’t blame her, i would’ve been drunk as hell too if i appeared in something as god-awful as this!

The only good thing this special ever did is that it introduced us to Santa Christ.
Praise Santa Christ 😇🙏
Good point! 👍🏿
I didn't agree with part with him saying worse than prequels, prequels wasn't that terrible, cause you have fight scenes
I just cannot get my head around the lack of subtitles for the Wookies
In every interview addressing the "Christmas special", every cast member (Anthony Daniels, Carrie Fischer, Mark Hamill, etc) either laughs about it or flat out denies it's existence.
Hamill looked the way he did because he'd been in a car accident(they had to reconstruct his face!).

They didnt need to reconstruct his face, he just broke his nose and fractured a cheekbone.

The Force was with the creators of A Star Wars Holiday Special,if,by The Force,you mean massive amounts of cocaine.
Yeah, piles of cocaine, mountain high, you need an oxygen mask to climb... >_
I watched it stoned. it was enjoyable then. I watched it sober and decided I should be stoned again
This makes two God-awful Christmas projects Mark Hamill's been in.
it used to be called Anakin day but they changed it when he was Vadered
6:42 if you think thats bad try the ten hour version
Critic: What do you think the script for this looked like?
Me: There was a script?
11:11 Hello camera that got into the shot and they just kept in.
Good lord this movie.
I don't even consider it a movie, that would be to generous, 🤔
True
Jingle bells, jingle bells
What the effing hell?
Where did this come from?
And why is it so effing dumb?
Pepsi Max and vodka made this more bearable....yes a weird mix but it's "healthy" and I feel fine!
My uncle called this a national embarrassment

0:41 Awolnation Run
your face in the thumbnail says it all.
But if you think this holiday special is the worst, just wait about 4 seasons.

At least I can actually call this Star Wars unlike the Acolyte and the sequel trilogy. Those are garbage
sweet alcohol i drink to your health
I thought this was the worst NC painful review, Then titanic came in like a wrecking ball, 😖
And you thought the Star Wars prequels were questionable!
At least those movies had some moments. This one is just AWFUL! PLAIN AND SIMPLE!
You haven't even seen the sequel trilogy yet. The horror!
@@scottylewis8124The sequel trilogy are nowhere near as insufferable as the 1978 Holiday Special.
I like lost worl Jurassic park
Mallayou'recomingtothekitchentohelpme
Why does that whip whip stair scene remind me of mrs. Doubtfire 🤨
