Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - MST3K Fans Rejoice -- Rifftrax Is Here!
Have a Happy Life Day! And nothing kicks off a memorable Life Day quite so much as watching the legendary Star Wars Holiday Special receive a fully deserved Rifftrax treatment! Yes, all your favorite Wookies are here: there's Chewbacca, Malla, Itchy, Lumpy and Art Carney.

Tony Award Winner and Oscar nominated Diahann Carroll as a singing holographic prostitute who services Grandpa Itchy and Bea Arthur stretches her talent by playing a woman! Not only that, there are commercials from ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - The Star Wars Holiday Special dvd review
I have come to like the Star Wars Holiday Special

Its incredibly strange. I read in a cover feature on the Special in SFX magazine that Lucas didn't really have too much input with the plot, which perhaps explains why nothing really happens

This episode led to so many ideas in the future of Star Wars. The Wookie home world of Kashyyk, Boba Fett, and deeper insight into individual background characters. This is a must see if you are a Star Wars fan. If you're not a huge fan of Star Wars at least go check out the cartoon. It's less than 10 minutes long, ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Best Part of the Original Quadrilogy
The Star Wars Holiday Special is a sadly forgotten classic. The epic storyline is primarily concerned with Chewbacca trying to make it home in time for Life Day, but at its core the film is a metaphor for the common man's attempt to make a better world for his family in the face of corrupt and uncaring universe. Parallels to 1984 are envisioned by the Empire occupying their house and manhandling their property.

This classic also allows us insight into the supposedly gruff character of Han ... Read More
