You ever do something that seemed like a good idea at the time… and then woke up the next day and said to yourself “What the hell did I just do?!?!” Well that’s what George Lucas goes through every Christmas. Oh yes, the fond memories of Star Wars – The Holiday Special still swirl in my head. Never has television been so horribly abused. We’ve posted several times before about this travesty, but now it looks like George Lucas actually wants to get this embarrassment banned. And really, who can blame him? Come to think of it… who would want to stop him?
A great quote from the good folks over at Digital Spy reads like this:
A high point of the film is a scene in which Princess Leia reduces Solo and Luke Skywalker to tears with a heart-rending song. IMDB quotes a source at Lucasfilm as saying: “The Holiday Special was the biggest f***-up ever. The Force was definitely not with Mr. Lucas the day that doozy was born.”
Ummm yeah. Don’t need to say much else do we? So come on! Who else out there has seen this gem?
