The Star Wars Holiday Special (Part 2) 

The first time I tried to watch this, I couldn't even get all the way through. I'm not sure I want to try again. It's that painful. It's not even really funny bad! But there are some good parts, like the bizarre cartoon with Boba Fett and the cooking show...

I watched this thing in four sittings. I couldn't watch it all at once because I was afraid I'd start bleeding through the ears.

Even in 15 minute segments, I felt my brain begin to liquefy.

But I agree with mrk. The animated sequences were pretty cool. And the original actors were completely in character, which was also interesting.

I don't know how I missed this thing the first time around; I would have been about 16 or 17, I think, or maybe younger. Perhaps I've blocked it out along with other traumatic experiences in my life that, gratefully, I can no longer recall!

This monstrosity is actually pretty typical of “specials” that they used to inflict on TV viewers during the 1970ies, and as I recall, Harvey Cormann, Art Carne, Bea Arthur and Diann Carol (sp.) were pretty typical guests on such things. I’m surprised Carol Burnett never made an appearance.

All kidding aside, I guess it was worth seeing once, just for curiosity’s sake.

What's up with the stardate stuff? I thought that was all Star Trek.
