THE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=323909610753051544

I challenge anyone to sit through the full 2 hours. I gave up after about 10 minutes of wookiees grunting at each other.

This never existed.

These commercials are alot of fun to watch.

I'm going to try... when it finishes loading.

Edit: Holy god, what is this?

Another edit: Holy crap, I might be able to watch this all the way through.

I want a Trailtracker!

Edit: Harvey Korman steals the show.

I wanna work for General Motors!

Edit: Bea Arthur sucks.

Edit 2: Is this wookie pr0n?

i wonder if google video will let GL delete this video from the google video server in person, and film it and post it to google video. lol

in all seriousness, this thing must be one of the few things on their continuity holocron that is on the lowest level (heck, they probably rate alt. universe fanfics as being on a higher level of continuity that this. )

I want my 2 hours back. /_\

this has been on Youtube for awhile now

I'm watching it right now. OMGWTF.

I just skimmed so I could get a general impression of it and of the commercials, then I watched the cartoon. Oh the craziness.

i never really knew it was that bad

Avert thine eyes!

Finally got through it. That was worse than I had ever imagined.

I wonder how many of the actors regretted doing that.

Rumor has it that Carrie Fisher once denied knowledge of the special's existence.

I watched this whole thing straight through just over a year ago, and it was physically and emotionally draining. I don't think I'm ready to watch it again.

I'm gonna try to watch it.

And. more singing from the princess!!!

This would make a fantastic drinking game.

I found this about three years back.

I watched it.

I promptly deleted it.

Suddenly I see the prequels in a much better light.

*shudders*

I saw this a few years ago. I have it on CD somewhere. I enjoyed it.

Take a shot every time you feel a piece of your soul die?

Yay, i'm not the only one that finds this amusing.

It's so good!

I love how they do Kashyyyk correctly.

Actually, I'm loving this entire thing so far. It's hilarious, and the acting is terrible.

[edit] The General Motors guy sounds like Meatball from ATHF!

This whole thing is awesome. ... I want a Trailtracker!

meatWAD.

that is all.

I had never seen this before. And 10 minutes into it and I already feel sick.

...um, this is how Star Wars *should* have been.

This site probably wouldn't even exist had that been the case, haha.

Don't ask me how or why I've made it 30 minutes.

This would never make it to today's primetime TV.
not because it's worse quality than primetime TV, but because primetime TV is faster paced and overly dramatic.

I just watched it today so that I could add another notch to my belt. [Droids, Ewoks, and Ewok Adventures still sitting on the shelf for the right time. R2-D2: Beneath the Dome, though, makes me eternally gleeful].

I really don't see it as bad as a lot of people seem to be saying. I mean, yeah, /lots/ of kitsch, but it is sort of an interesting contrivance about "how the other half lives", that is the domestic or political scope of things outside of Jedi-in-training and Princess-in-distress. For example, I find the idea of there being animated shorts distributed about the alleged adventures of Han Solo absolutely hilarious and awesome.

Several things rather bothered me, though:

1- Dirty old wookiee man getting off on vr softcore non-wookiee pr0n. Brrr? [Though after watching Farscape, this really shouldn't bother me :p]
2- For that matter, /all/ the wookiee media/entertainment seemed to star non-wookiees. Weird.
3- What's with all the wookiee-tech? I always imagined them living a lot simpler.
4- I really hated how the inside of the wookiee hut looked, it was wayyy too Everybody Loves Lucy and not nearly viney and jungley and organic enough for my vision.
5- The ease with which the railing broke terrified me of falling :O
6- Chewie has a wife and kids?!?!

Not so much an irk, but interesting:
1- Did anyone else see an /extreme/ and eerie resemblance between the water dinosaurs design [neck and head at least] to Gungans? The point where it stuck its tongue out to slurp up the wreckage was absolutely striking in that regard.

I didn't get past the part where the kid was crawling on the railing. 5 minutes of wookies grunting at each other and one of the more retarded ones carving an X-wing wasn't exactly enthralling.

BUT, do notice how when they introduce Mark Hamill as Luke he looks completely different than he did in ESB. I'm assuming this was pre-wreck.

...

All that happened in that wreck was that he broke his nose.

He wasn't OMG TOTALLY DISFIGURED.

I skimmed through it. LOVE IT! I need to find time to watch the whole thing; my soul isn't nearly dead enough for my taste.

You need to drink more, then.

Or drink less.

SOUL KILLING IS DONE BY ALCOHOL

Nooblet.

7mins of wookie ARAAOOOOAARARAOOOOOEEEE

and im done...

Yeah Luke does look strange for some reason. I don't get why. Oh and I need to try to skip through most of the wookie grunts in the beginning...
