I kinda liked that you could see the inside of the cantina a bit better than the actual movie, but the rest is all throw away stuff.
p.s. Happy Life Day. :lol
Welcome to the club. You will never be able to erase from your mind what you've just seen.

When did this come out? 78? Somewhere around that time? I was about 12 years old and the only two things I cared about was Star Wars and KISS. To me those were the two best things in the entire world!! Then the Holiday Special came out, then KISS Meets the Phantom came out. Since I was THE Star Wars/KISS guy at my school, my life was ruined......I have never recovered.........

For me, I grew up in the era of the Ewok Adventure films, and as bad as those were, they didn't dissuade me from my love of Star Wars. It was really the prequels that did that (although I got a taste of what was to come when Greedo shot first...)
With some very notable exceptions, this is pretty much what it was like watching TV in the 70s. It was a decade without taste.
I was 4 years old in 78. I was the target audience.
God the Ewok films were pretty bad too...
The prequels were all about expectation, anticipation. It had been 25 years. NEW SW films were coming out. The Ben/Darth fight was on the horizon...
Then Jake Lloyd hits the screen. And midichlorians. And dialogue like "What is he - brain dead...!?".
And we were hosed.
It taught me to never EVER get my hopes up for quality in a film ever again. And it allowed me to begin to realize that GL is not as creatively talented as we thought he was.
Yup. Or at least not quiet the creative monolithic genius we though him to be -- he had a LOT of help and a LOT of luck.
I think he thrived off of the people who were around him at the time. Especially, during ESB. On his own, I think he is over-rated, and a bit of an egomaniac.
When a man's sat down to watch the Holiday Special, he's given a pistol with a single shot. After he's done watching that show, that pistol starts to look real friendly.
