So, I was born after Return of the Jedi, and never saw the holiday special.
Is this about as bad as that?
I-I-i couldn't even take a minute of.... whatever ze German thing is.
Ho... wha-whyyy??
Disney buying Star Wars and "ruining" this and that.... is no longer a big deal. For sure.

Well the Holiday Special did a have a pretty bad azz Boba Fett cartoon. But it was much longer than this and Carrie Fisher sings through clearly a drug induced haze.
Almost makes me want to see it, almost.

Before you decide, it should be pointed out the Bea Arthur and Harvey Korman were in it. In a cantina, and guy was getting drunk by pouring beer into his head!Almost makes me want to see it, almost.

The Holiday Special is best watched with friends so that you can marvel at the horror together. It's just breathtakingly bad, I don't know if it would be possible for it to be worse. It's drinking game worthy though.
In the "silver lining" department - Chewbacca gets a lot more close-ups than in any of the movies and the articulation of the mask and its ability to snarl can be seen better here than anywhere else.

There are no words to adequately describe the depths to which the Holiday Special plunges. As bad as it is, at least they took SW in a very different direction lol.
The German song is hilarious. SW is often described as a space opera...

Until you realize he was playing twinkle, twinkle, little star...
Not to mention a pretty awesome segment from Jefferson Starship, and the awkward VR love song to an old Wookiee in the creepy vein of a softcore porno (seriously, on surviving production memos that segment was described to be like a "softcore porn"
). Oh! And Bea Arthur's cantina ballad! All the original monster masks are there and they sing and dance with her---it's great.I'm not ever one to defend the Holiday Special, but I am a big fan of it. It's one of the greatest missteps in understanding of what Star Wars was and banking on the name with an old-fashioned variety show special. Oh, I love it.

I had finally purged Bea Arthur’s singing from my mind, now it’s back....
