That one is so univerally bad, even skipping through it was painful.

"David Hofstede, author of What Were They Thinking?: The 100 Dumbest Events in Television History, ranked the holiday special at number one, calling it "the worst two hours of television ever". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_Holiday_Special

I'm looking forward to the LEGO one this year. "An animated sequel set after the events of the Star Wars sequel trilogy, titled the LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special, will be released on Disney+ in November 2020."

The suggestion I've been given is to watch a riff track version rather than the original. The biggest sin of the holiday special is that it's dull and no amount of cold medication will help improve it, as I discovered one January.

It did introduce Boba Fett, though. But yeah, it's still terrible.

Another Star Wars Holiday Special? Well I guess that's one more for 2020 Bingo.

Made by people who hate Christmas!
