Back in the early 2000’s a co-worker asked if I had the special on VHS. Told him I did and he wanted to borrow it. I warned him how bad it was and he wouldn’t have a good time, but he still wanted it. When I gave him the tape I again warned him, he still wanted it.
3 days later he gave it back to me. I opened the case and saw the tape was only a third of the way viewed. I asked him if he wanted to finish watching it and all he said was “No. no. no…” as he walked away.
That dirty video with the old Chewbacca guy did him in
I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy
I'm disappointed there isn't a 36 hour documentary about the who/what/why this thing was made. Interviews and all.
Lucas likes to say he checked out during it but one of the Wookie names is "Itchy" which is totally a Lucasism. Same guy that almost made "Darth Icky" a thing.
This guy was a lead writer. What happened, BRUCE?!
Aah, poor Malla, Ichy, and Lumpy...
I got a copy of the full holiday special with commercials....it's so fucking amazing and terrible.
