Happy life day!

[Nik]

Don't worry. It's only 5 minutes long..

[Mimiheart]

We have the whole thing on VHS.

[Nik]

I'd like to make a drinking game out of it, but I don't know if I could last 2 hours drinking every time someone does something that makes me want to stab myself in the temple with the nearest implement


I hope you make it a yearly tradition to watch that.

There must be an epic struggle going on in George Lucas's mind: continue to deny the existence of the holiday special, or to sell toy versions of the characters and other such merchandise to obsessive collector nerds.

Or, make a special edition that purports to fix the problems, but is actually just a mess of useless special effects and (more) confusing added scenes.

Which, in turn, means more obscure characters to make toys of. It's brilliant in a sort of evil way.

I'm sure my kids would love it.

In semi-related news, the Jr. High at my synagogue put on "Star of David Wars." The Rabbi played "Hanukkah Solo".

Remember, one of the things he did in the "Special" edition of Return of the Jedi was to add more songs.

One of these days he's going to slip up and tell someone the Holiday Special was the best embodiment of his original vision. And he's going to digially add more Tim Conway.

PS: I've seen it on VHS. I own it on (still unwatched) DVD.

[kupo]

dang I'd make this piece of crap a yearly tradition to watch in the house

[pitnyelder]

I watched the entire thing about 8-10 years ago.

I'm not ready to go through that again. No way.

We need to have such a Christmas party, dammit! I might have a job in the area next year, I smell a crazy idea brewing.

Yeah, you know, because it's not Star Wars unless you get the delight of looking down an alien's throat while he screams "GOO NEE TAY" at you, followed by a chorus of aliens singing a song that I would not have listened to had it been in English.

[EvilJekyll]

Wretched. I'm glad that was only five minutes.

omg YES!!!!!!

[sum yun gai]

is it me, or is mark hamill wearing WAY too much makeup? is he trying to look like dorothy hammil? o_O

[EvilJekyll]

It was the 70s everyone was wearing too much makeup. Just look at David Bowie.

[sum yun gai]

yes, but david bowie had that whole gender ambiguity image going on, so it's ok for him

[Dusk]

Remember, Mark had just been in a horrible [strikethrough]Wampa attack[/strikethrough] car accident and was probably feeling a little self conscious.

[Skimba]

I'm glad to have had a hand in bringing you this holiday classic tale of terror.
