The Human Torch Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 I was wondering if anyone knows how to get a hold of a Star Wars Holiday Special (from 1978)?

Jedi Jami Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 I got a VHS copy off of ebay for two bucks, but I'll just give it to you if you want it. Don't waste your money on it, trust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_Droideka Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Yeah, it's pretty bad.Actually, it's very bad. Here's a comment I heard about it a while ago; "Watching the SWHS is more painful than masturbating with a cheese grater." I consider myself to be a pretty hardcore collector of SW related stuff, and I don't want it anywhere near me. One cool part, is when Chewbacca's Son watches a 'Star Wars Cartoon', which is the actual introduction, of Boba Fett. Honestly, take up Jedi_Jami's offer, I'm sure she'd be glad to be rid of it.

Obi_Wan_Kenobi_0 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 The cartoon is ok but I cant watch the rest of it. I just cant. I'm like why? Why would they make something like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 The facxt it is SO bad is what makes it such a gem to own I think. it's freaking hysterical. don't you guys ever watch bad movies for the cheese factor. I love the dam thing for how awful it is. For example: 1. Art Carney doing his schtick on imperial officers. 2. Bea Arthur in a musical number with the cantina aliens. 3. Harrison Ford hugging a child wookie and call him "sweetheart." 4. Carrie Fisher, wall-eye and coked to the gills singing a happy holiday song to the star wars theme. 5. An overly tanned and eyeliner wearing Mark Hamil. Come on. It doesn't get any better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olive Yoda Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Yes, I quite enjoyed the suckiness of it. I would actually buy the DVD if one came out, if only to laugh at it with my friends while intoxicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowGhost Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 I have never seen it I want to watch it, just to see how bad this is! I think I might try to pick a copy up on DVD from eBay, or if I'm lucky enough to find it someplace in a store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Jade Skywalker Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Bea Arthur? Well now I have to see it. Are Betty White, Rue McClanahan, and Estelle Getty in it, too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Bea Arthur, Harvey corman, Art Carney, The full SW cast from ANH AND Jefferson Starship. Really, there is no reason not to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stallion Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 I dled it once, seeing two furballs roaring at each other was enough to get me to stop watching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryn Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 What's not to love about fifteen minutes of only Wookiee dialogue (with no subtitles)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthAl Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Doesn't it also contain some cool outakes and cutting room floor stuff from ANH?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 DarthAl:Doesn't it also contain some cool outakes and cutting room floor stuff from ANH?? Only if you consider vader walking down a Death Star corrridor "cool." The footage is all video horridness intercut with recycled ANH footage, and the corridor shot is the only one I don't recognize from ANH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi Cool Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 According to Anthony Daniels, the day filming on the special wrapped, he got into his car, his driver pulled off and Daniels began laughing hysterically all the way home. Yes, it is horrible. Any decent-sized Sci-Fi convention will have a copy. NumberSix bought his for $15 a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETAndElliot4Ever Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 The cartoon is awesome. Makes me wish they'd have made an animated series about the actual Star Wars heroes rather than Droids/Ewoks. Whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Human Torch Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 You know me well, Ryn. I did find this thread because of qube's post in Feedback. I was looking for a post of yours where you quoted someone and the code didn't transfer right. I was going to post a link to that broken quote code then point and laugh at you for being one of the "lame posters". Although I have come to find that you very rarely, no... make that extremely rarely use the quote feature. When I did find an old post where you used the quote feature the IPB had converted the code perfectly. So after about 45 minutes of searching I gave up. Let it be known: Ryn is not a lame poster.
