13 Reasons We Love To Hate And Hate To Love The Star Wars Holiday Special

So bad it's good, but in a bad way that is also kind of good.

Because the "Holiday" in question is the Wookie holiday Life Day.

Apparently, Life Day is celebrated with a buttload of dry ice.

2

Because Chewbacca's father looks suspiciously like the wampa that tried to kill Luke on Hoth.

And that just brings up way too many disturbing questions.

3

Because Luke is wearing guy liner.

Was he getting extra work as Shaun Cassidy's stunt double?

4

Because Art Carney brings Itchy something called a Mind Evaporator...

That's right, I said Art Carney! He was inexplicably in a lot of things in the 70s (kind of like saccharine).

5

And then this happened...

And then things got weird...and a little inappropriate for a kid's show. How did they even get this past the censors?

6

Because there was a 70s style cartoon.

Very, very, VERY 70s.

7

Because we still don't know who these two are.

Lady Gaga wasn't even born yet.

8

Because Mala is making Bantha for Life Day dinner.

What? Was the market out of Ewok?

9

But at least she had a cooking show to help her out. Sadly, it was this one:

Even sadder...that's Harvey Korman under all that purple padding.

10

Because the Empire just had to mess with Life Day.

Tell them to get a warrant, Mala!

11

Because most of the dialogue is in Wookie.

It's like listening to someone move furniture across a vinyl floor for 90 minutes.

12

Because Princess Leia sang a Life Day carol that was cheesier than a cheese pizza with a stuffed crust.

And stuffed crust wasn't even invented yet.

13

Because Bea Arthur sang with the cantina band, and we hated it, but it was still our favorite part.
