    We finally watched one of the most notorious bad movies ever - the Star Wars Holiday Special. And what a turd it is. Even though I expected it to be awful, it was so much worse than I ever thought.

    The reason Mark Hamill looked like he did was that just before the filming of this could be because he was in a fairly bad car accident that severely injured his face in 1977. I THINK this was shot in 77 despite it releasing in 78, so they might have been using too much makeup to try and cover up the effect the accident had on his face. People speculate that's why at the start of the next star wars move he shot, it started with Luke getting attacked and having his face injured to use as cover for why his face looked different from the previous movie, but no one has officially ever confirmed that.

    The Star Wars Holiday Special is infamous for having been shown ONCE on television and never again. This year actually marks the 45th anniversary. Aside from the cartoon, which is actually the debut of Boba Fett, it has never been publicly released, only bootlegged.

    I'm 54. I saw this on television when it aired. I stayed up late to watch it. Thought it was going to be the coolest thing ever. It was one of the most scarring events of my childhood. You can't imagine the horror of going from the movie to seeing this and being mind raped. The wookie porn scene. The wookies screaming without subtitles. Weird holographic acrobats. The random unexplained sketches about building projects or tourism advertisements.Jefferson starship singing into a dildo. A drunken Harrison ford. Mark Hamil as an Oompa Loompa. Bukaroo Banzi didn't confuse me as much as this did. It warped me for life. And afterward for a long time people tried to tell me that it wasn't even real and just an urban legend. I was there man and It was all too real. I thought people were trying to make me think I was crazy and it was a delusion or something. The horror...The horror.

    I was a very young child, completely obsessed with Star Wars when this came out. I remember staring at the ad in the TV Guide for a whole week just couldn't wait to see it. After it was over I just sat there in mind numbing disappointment and asked my dad, "Does Star Wars Stink now, dad?" And my dad being my dad was already half in bag said, "Yep. But, did you see Princess Leia's nipples?" I did indeed. When "Empire" came out, the stain of this abomination was still fresh on my mind. Luckily, that didn't suck. But, my perpetually drunk dad (seriously, it's a miracle we never died in drunk driving accident. No one gave a crap about drunk driving back then.) almost got us killed on the way out. There was a line around the building and my dad being the asshole that he is gets about halfway down it heading back to the car and says as loudly as he can: "I CAN'T BELIEVE DARTH VADER IS LUKE SKYWALKER'S FATHER!!!!". A glass jar of peanut butter came within three inches of ending my life that night.

She had many other movie and TV roles. Bea Arthur was a Tony Award winning stage actress before her Maude and Golden Girls days. And of course Harvey Korman and Art Carney are in this mess too.

    The Canadian animation company who did the cartoon was Nelvana. They went on to make the two 80s Star Wars shows "Droids" (about 3PO and R2 adventures set before the films and including another appearance of Boba) and "Ewoks." They made a ton of cartoons including Care Bears.

    Little bit of background on Mark Hamill and why he does look so strange in the Holiday Special:
    In January 1977, after the shooting of "A new Hope", Mark had a bad car accident which resulted in a fractured nose and cheekbone. It was so serious that he even was scared of having to quit acting.
    That's why he got attacked in the beginning of "Empire" - so they could explain the different look of Luke going forward.
    Happy Holidays to all of you. Greetings from good old Germany. 🎉

    • @Fardawg
      @Fardawg 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The Wampa attack was not created to cover the scars, it just happened to be convenient in doing just that. They have claimed the makeup in the special was also not to cover the scars and broken nose, but they clearly tried to make his crooked nose look straight with it and covered some scars. I believe Mark has said the wounds from the accident weren't as bad as some think, but the differences before and after are pretty clear nonetheless.
