I am not a huge Star Wars fan.

Don’t get me wrong.  I respect the fact that the movies are important to a lot of my close friends and fellow movie bloggers.  My boyfriend loves the first three Star Wars films and I’ve told him that if he ever wants me to wear a gold bikini and a chain around my neck, I’ll do it.  It’s just that, on a personal level, the Star Wars films don’t do much for me.  When people mention Star Wars, I usually think about how I fell asleep 10 minutes into Attack of the Clones and then when my date woke me up at the end of the movie, my bra had mysteriously been undone.

That said, I still knew that when I started my series of Christmas Past posts, I would have to post something about The Star Wars Holiday Special.  The Holiday Special aired way back in 1978 and it was apparently such a disaster that George Lucas has spent the past 3 and a half decades trying to convince people that it doesn’t exist.

Perhaps that’s why, when I did a search for the Holiday Special on YouTube, I came across a lot of videos that had been either taken down or had their audio tracks removed.

However, I was able to find a 15 minutes video from a YouTube user who goes by the name of StarWarsFan1975.  The Star Wars Holiday Special Retrospective features some background material on the Holiday Special and some of the special’s more bizarre moments.

Enjoy!
