(Archive) Christmas movie of the day: Star Wars Holiday Special (1978)

Anyways, since the Mouse now owns the franchise let's have some fun with that one product they're not likely to ever claim over (for the most part, it has one good bit they do claim), it may as well be public domain.
So…Star Wars mania. Back in the late 70's the movie took the industry by storm with it's fun characters, groundbreaking visual effects, genre pastiche of a high concept premise and rather campy tone that came in high contrast with the more depressive and grounded films of the era. So to no one's surprise a sequel was greenlit, but in the meantime to cash on the trend they made this fiasco. It's not even the only crappy and cheap Star Wars special from the 70's, but it's certainly the most infamous.
Revolving around "Life Day"(aka a non descript Holiday in order to not play favorites), this film is about Chewbacca's family, and both Han and Chewie's attempt to leave the Wookie back home for the holidays while the Empire soldiers are looking for them. In the meantime, they cram all sorts of special numbers…and with maybe one exception not a single one is remotely good. You have multiple musical numbers without a thing to do with the plot, in universe tv commercials, jokes with a crossdressing cook on TV, a human looking alien drinking with the top of his head(he has a hole there), clips that are easy to take out of context to make the grandfather look like a pervert, and cameos by Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher when they really don't want to be there(they even look…stoned? The later certainly is).
The one good bit? Boba Fett's first appereance in a rather cool animated short.
It's a bizarre clump of nonsense that is enjoyable solely because you wonder what the hell was going on in their heads. It will certainly haunt George Lucas for eternity.

Axelrod asked McCartney how he left things with John and George. McCartney offered a sentimental recollection of Lennon.
"John and I had had a lot of arguments through the Beatles break-up, but I was very lucky because we had reestablished our friendship," McCartney says. "You remember little things about people. I remember sort of seeing him and he comes in and gives me a hug and says 'Touching is good.' I'll never forget that. Touching is good. So I do a lot of hugging now," McCartney says.
As for Harrison, McCartney recalls, "George I never really fell out with. We had a beautiful last meeting. It was very emotional for me. It was very touching. We sort of held hands and I realized we'd never done that 'cause you don't. You're Liverpool guys. You grow up together, you know? Here he was sort of terminal illness and we were holding hands." McCartney adds, "I think, I think it all is informing me, yeah. I think, you know, you, you've got great memories, you've got great emotions.
"I think one of the things I like about getting older is you can free your emotions more."

These all need their own row I can't keep them confined to one because oh my god
I think that first pic might very well be my favorite photo of George. Ever. Well, maybe at least in his older years.
For the sake of sounding rather slutty, I damn near almost had an orgasm the first time I laid eyes upon it.
But isn't that what a day like today is all about? Yes! Sluttiness!
Much like this man whose choice of pants leaves no doubt for the fact that he is absolutely PACKING 🥴🥴🥴
I'm just gonna say Happy Friday to y'all and leave it at that before I dig myself in too deep.
