I don’t know what’s more surprising, the fact Star Wars survived this, whomever created this script for the holiday special in the 70’s survived the amount of drugs it needed to think this was a good idea, or that Star Trek V is still somehow worse than this.

As a child, I watched this on TV on the night it aired-and loved it. For years, when I was older, I couldn’t find any evidence that it ever existed, making me start to wonder if I had dreamed it. The emergence of the internet proved that it was real! (I still kind of love it, LOL!)

I, too, thought I had been dreaming some odd Star Wars stuff for years, remembering Stormtroopers and wookiees on some woodland planet.

I was expecting just one giant sin: that it exists at all. I came across the special on youtube the other day. Even knowing its reputation, I tried to watch it out of curiosity. I made it through five minutes, maybe ten. This is something that should be allowed to pass into obscurity, known only as the rumor of a rumor of a memory - something people will claim existed, but can never actually prove.

@ThubanDraconis Год назад

I remember being a little kid and all excited to see it. Then, when it started, I remember thinking it had to get better soon. I don't know how much more I watched before I gave up, but even as a little kid I found it painfully bad.

@kennethfharkin Год назад

The trauma of “one chance to see it” in the 70s was real. My entire Cub Scout pack raced home to catch this and it left us all scarred. Your mom may have thought to trauma of missing this on its one airing was bad but I am here to state seeing it at a young age while in love with Star Wars was far more traumatizing. Imagine seeing this, not being able to rewatch the film and having to wait years for another movie.

@SunnysFilms Год назад

I have seen it in full. After Nostalgia Critic's review of it, watched after years of thinking it was something Al Yankovic made up for his White and Nerdy music video, I sought it out out of morbid curiosity.

It took 40 years before I actually got to see it. And found out why it never aired again. Also, the second wave of Star Wars action figures were actually going to be based on this special. They replaced Chewbacca's family with droids, and only released a total of 8. Plus a mail-away for Boba Fett.

For your information (I'm not forcing you to read this): Me and my brother watched this movie, but in the french version. It has a lot of content removed, being roughly 1h12, but lemme gonna say... It was a challenge. We both said that if we were able to sat through all this ''movie'', we'd be immune to cringe for good. And, in fact, it did work. Whenever I see something that make me want to puke my breakfast, I think of this movie and feel a lot more cringeproof. What I'm trying to say is... Watch this thing. Don't skip it and after that, everything will seem less worse. Anyway, merry christmas to y'all🎄

@jeffl.9633 Год назад

When the special aired in mid-November 1978, _Star Wars_ was some 18 months old and _The Empire Strikes Back_ was still some 19 months in the future. With how little _Star Wars_ media existed at the time, the holiday special was something we looked forward to-long before it became something that every fan should suffer through once. (This Sins video has reminded me that I was 13 when the holiday special aired, creating a new 'I feel old' moment, so..."thanks for that." 😝)

@daviddaspit4166 Год назад

I saw this when it first aired in 1978. It was a dark time. Star Wars was no longer in the theater an Empire was nowhere in sight. People were jonesing for more Star Wars and this was the best we could get. Honestly, I'm surprised it only got 596 since. I think it should have started with 500 sins just for existing 🙂

I've never minded Chewie's growling too much. I think it adds to STAR WARS's campy charm. But they took it too far in SOLO several years back, when young Han first meets the Wookiee and he somehow recognizes "HRRARRR" as the much more alphabetic "Chewbacca."

I had heard about the special and how bad it was. So I chose the Star Wars holiday special. The best part about the assignment was that my drama teacher was a Star Wars fan and told me that he gave the assignment a 100% because he was impressed that I put myself through reading the Star Wars holiday special script.
