Tom Service: The Star Wars Holiday Special is truly special
Film | guardian.co.uk — Off topic, strictly speaking, but when in LA – Donald Liebenson's story in the LA Times alerted me to a cultural anniversary that really is worth celebrating: 30 years ago today, on November 17 1978, CBS broadcast the world's most mind-boggling movie spin-off: the Star Wars Holiday Special. It's possibly the finest travesty of a movie icon ever ...

Video of the Day: The Five-Minute "Star Wars" Holiday Special
The Screengrab — This week is the 30th anniversary of the Star Wars Holiday Special.  If you're one of the lucky ones who missed this made-for-TV abomination, it is widely believed to be not only the worst thing ever made with the name "Star Wars" attached, but the worst thing ever made of any kind.  How bad is it?  It's so bad that George Lucas -- the man who released the crawling, hideous thing that is Episode III:  Revenge of the Sith to theaters worldwide -- yanked it from circulation so that it can only be seen in low-grade bootleg form.  It's approximately two hours long, but it seems like it's about two months long -- which is why we're ...

Star Wars Holiday Special 30th Anniversary Celebration!
The Movie Blog — By whatever gods you worship, if there was ever a blot on the Star Wars Universe it was the Star Wars Holiday Special. This wonderful masterpeice of farted out garbage makes JarJar look like Brad Pitt. But for many fans it is the obscurity of this one time released Holiday Special something to acquire. I own a copy. So here is the deal. There is no Christmas in Star Wars so they join Chewbacca’s family in celebrating “Life day” and the show reunites all the cast of the super successful Star Wars Universe for a made for TV movie. This was SO DAMNED BAD that if you ask George Lucas in an interview about it he dodges the question ...
