My personal favourite story about this whole debacle is how Carrie Fisher owned a copy of the special and she'd play it at parties when she wanted the guests to leave.
This makes me miss her more! I want to do this!
What a legend
You don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here.
@auxcidehaha, she was high as a kite during the special too
Source?
I am convinced this movie was single handledly responsible for Harrison Ford wanting Han Solo dead.
That and the time fans knocked him down and tore off his clothes.
he tried to choke Conan O'Brien for bringing it up
DIEGhostfish when did that happen?
@@forrestpenrod2294 Not sure, some time around the first SW or maybe Empire.
@@forrestpenrod2294 when did what happen?
Mark Hamil smiling at the camera is what got him that Joker gig 15 years later.
Mark Hamill also looks as unnaturally orange as Jack Napier Joker does visiting and trashing the art museum.
Good one
John Buxton he was on cocaine at the time, look at his eyeballs!
I mean put some clown make up on him and he looks a lot like the Joker
@Xx_GamerLord_xX Yep. In better quality videos and images of the special you can see where they used makeup to hide the scaring and try to make his broken nose look straighter.
couldn't the chewbacca family have used the 'luke skywalker tv' to help others find luke in The Force Awakens??
Julian Fawcett JJ ABRAMS HAS RUINED STAR WARS. MY CHILDHOOD IS RUINED
They all got murdered by the Empire before the events of ROTJ.
HOW COULD JJ ABRAMS HAVE MISSED SUCH A GLARING, UNIVERSE BREAKING PLOT HOLE???? DISNEY DOESN'T UNDERSTAND STAR WARS AT ALL!!!!
Lol I'm dying 😂
Because the planet Sernpidal hits Wookiies on the head.
"So these are jokes?"
"I think they're jokes."
"Amazing."
Star Wars 9: Lumpy returns
He is one of the knights of ren
EP 9: Return of the Last Lumpy Menace
Why not episode 9: mystic power converter
oh gawd, yes please! Can I pre order tickets now????
Limpy is anikan's ded
This works better as a drug PSA.
“Hey kids, don’t do drugs or you might end up creating the next Holiday Special.”
*Manic Pixie Fangirl * The producers were on glimmerstim
I'm just shocked that being on drugs didn't create something more creative & not dull as fuck lol
Animated Han Solo looks like Real Life Adam Driver.
Mind blown
boba fett
>gray helmet and armor
>rides a dinosaur
>long rifle with a pronged end
Hmm.
Thought about that too...
well the gun for mando is actually that gun from the christmas special
So... Techincally Boba and Mando (Din Jarrin) are foundlings. Boba is a clone of Jango, and Jango is a foundling
BTW The dinosaur that Mando rides is called a Blurrg
@@Mael_Str0M I wish I knew what you guys were explaining
Gaming Goof I was explaining how The Mandalorian and Boba/Jango (They’re the same person) are similar, like the guy who originally commented said.
That’s funny. In the first episode of The Mandalorian, the blue guy that the main character catches says “I was hoping to make it home for Life Day.” Just a little obscure Easter egg.
the god damn effort that goes into editing these videos is incredible. pulling up funny relevant footage for even small jokes. the hobbit set footage with a lost looking peter jackson was hilarious
And the punchline of the whole video was the brief shot of Ben the editor.
14:14
It's whenever the do comics that REALLY impresses me. They animate the frames and I'm still not 100% sure if they do it themselves or just pull existing motion comics or something.

There's an even better version of the holiday special that still contains all the TV adverts and channel promos from the original broadcast. Its worth trying to find it.
Adverts can be found on the Rifftrax version. th-cam.com/video/_st0VGGRPYM/w-d-xo.html
IHE reacted to that version
The funniest part of the holiday special was that since the prequels were before disney made everything but the movies and the clone wars legends, everything about Kashyyyk in episode 3 had to look like the holiday special.
Can we all just have a moment of silent respect for Ben who edited this...since he most likely died having to review the clips multiple times.
Love that Rich Evans George Lucas cameo
Did they get permission from RLM to use their clip?
Best part
@Yishai Thau: Sif you'd need it from those hack frauds.
:P
Yishai Thau ever heard of transformative media? They don't need permission so long as they sufficiently alter the work, which they did.
I came for the James, I stayed for the Rich Evans
Hey! How dare you give my video a shoutout! Life Day is cancelled!
NerdSync Chewbacca: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! *Burst into tears*
"How the Grinch Stole Life Day," starring the NerdSync guy.
NerdSync Well at least the show is non-canon now, but some elements (Chewie's family, though not the nicknames, and Life Day itself) is canon.
The wookie house was filmed at Peter Mayhew’s actual home at the time! Heard it from the man himself, before his passing.
Carrie looks both drunk and high at the same time.
Also, I want that animated series to be a real thing
I think the animated part was the basis for SW: Droids, because the art of threepio, looks similar to the drawings of him for Droids.
Crunk.
I mean... I don't think anyone can blame her.
If I had been in it, I'd have been mainlining absinthe cut with rat poison.
This is why a Kylo went to the dark side.
I bet Luke tried showing him one of those fancy Dark Side Caves and the melting face of his father and those dead eyes of his Jedi master in his head that he just couldn't unsee drove him to turn against Luke and kill Han.
Joe Greenwell you mean jacen
This is why the second movie in the new trilogy exists
I bet it was all the drugs his mother was clearly using.
Itchy was Snoke.
Maybe this is why Harrison Ford hates Star wars
he tried to choke Conan O'Brien for bringing it up
He was mad he wasn't aloud to kill Lumpy by throwing him off the balcony.
You say that like it’s a question.
animated han solo looks like beta ray bill
That's Harvey Korman as the cooking show lady, old man in the infomercial and Hole Head. A great American comedic actor from Blazing Saddles and the Carol Burnett show. No career was safe from this Suckfest!
thanksfernuthin aaahhh blackface! Alert the media!
Came here just to see if anyone recognized him from Blazing Saddles. Also appreciate that you knew he played the hole in the head as well. They didn’t even realize it was the same “old man”. lol
Harvey's finest work since "Lord Love A Duck."
I’m late but glad you cleared that up. Dang brits
And Count De Money as well
I wonder how much smack Carrie Fisher was on when she decided to sing the "life day" song. HAHA.
yeah she sure was trippin' ballz
Can you really blame her considering what she was in?
Getting Carrie blitzed out of her mind was the only way they could get her to do this.
I'll see your "Star Wars Holiday Special", and raise you a "Brady Bunch Variety Hour: Disco Medley".
Ah now we're talkin'; good times, lol!
I do think the idea of the empire transmitting footage of tattoine daily so everyone else feels more content that they're doing better is a pretty good premise
That wasn’t a random old guy, it was Harvey Korman! He was a great comedic actor in the 70s & 80s!
“That’s Headley...”
Brian Boru these guys know nothing blazing saddles is the funniest film I’ve ever seen! Lily lily legs!!!
He was one of the greatest actors in the History of the World...
@@robbyreynolds9290 "You look like the p*ss boy!"
I guess these are two teenagers from Australia.
Jesus that Mark Hamill Thumbnail thought it was the cover to a horror movie he must be the serial killer lol
Ben did a hell of a job editing this masterpiece.
11:47 Drunk’n Rand-o just became my Star Wars name
"Fear and Loathing in Mos Eisley"
Brian O'Connell 👍🏾🏆
I found an old Star Wars timeline from 1994 and they had the AUDACITY to not include the holiday special!
Carrie was more than just drunk for this special 😂
Life Day is the best holiday
Is the holiday special canon??
for a certain point of view lol !
No
It's the most canon thing there is.
Carbeeezy Robot Chicken didn't acknowledge (?) so maybe not
Kinda... This was the first appearance of Boba Fett, and the design for the Wookie houses was used again in later films.
Actually, a version of this that was like a variety show hosted by some wacky alien perhaps could have been a fun idea. Maybe he could have taken the audience on a tour of the Millennium Falcon while it was empty, and then Han would have came back and been like, Get out of here you *insert galactic insult here*”
Instead we got...whatever this is.
Aww man, that sounds like a fun idea and now I'm sad it didn't happen.
LadyBernkastel92 Right? Haha I come up with alternative ideas for projects like every day, so I’m perpetually sad 😜.
It should have been a Muppet Star Wars special. It would have had the right tone.
You know,
This special came out in 1979 I believe a year before The Empire Strikes Back. It's truly amazing that people gave ESB a chance to shine after this trainwreck was aired. However ESB could have been an apology for the Holiday Special...
Wrong it came out in 1978
Think about how many people had to watch ESB with this movie in their minds. I probably couldn't have watched Luke and Vader without thinking of "STIR WHIP STIR WHIP"
I like to think it was the moment they realised they could never let Lucas near the Director's Chair again...
So I was 8 in 1979, and I loved the special. My child brain didn’t register the flaws, all I knew was the *fucking Star Wars* was being beamed directly into my home’s TV!!!
Are you kidding? ARE. YOU. KIDDING? The Star Wars Holiday Special is the best part of the Star Wars franchise and it is PURE CINEMATIC GENIUS!!!!!! How could you not LOVE this masterpiece?!?!?!?
Its canon and should be sold on a DVD / Blue Ray disc along with the original trilogy.
Where's an HD remaster?! We NEED to see that melting Han Solo face and Luke's dead eyes in 4k!
This was brilliant - Ben deserves a medal. Just like Chewie.
I actually couldn't stop laughing for a solid 10 minutes after seeing 3:40
Same, the little ah! from the guy made me lose my absolute shit
8:43 Some old man??!! That's Harvey korman. A legend in the world of comedy.
No lie, Carrie Fisher was Fuuuuucccked Up shooting this, what killed me was the life day anthem 😂🔥
Wow that sexy VR lady is the only black woman in the entire original run of star wars films.
O_o
In fairness, there is like 5 females in the original trilogy.
Femi Taylor played Oola.
Boom! How do you like that? Off the top of my head!
emperorbailey That was a green lady played by a black actress.
Is there some kind of quota somewhere?
Incoming “still better than the last Jedi” comments.
God can the internet just die already
roblosonic 505 still better than the last Jedi
I'm glad I've finally met someone with common sense
The truth hurts, doesn’t it?
The holiday special wasn't cannon; neither was The Last Jedi.
Animated Han looks like a character voiced by Patrick Warburton.
Do you guys not know "random old guy" from the infomercial & bar scene is Harvey Korman? Famous from The Carol Burnett Show, multiple Mel Brooks' films and basically a comedy legend....
Chris Occhiogrosso thank you!headey lemar! It’s headley! How do they not know him
Chris Occhiogrosso wasn't Harvey Korman the voice of Great Gazoo on Flintstones?
Piss boy..piss boy...
I had more fun watching this than the actual holiday special
This poor guy Ben. The things they put him through.
The song at the end sung by Carrie Fisher is where you can see Harrison Ford officially give up as an actor.
“The planet of Kazok” referring to Kashyyyk
We, the fans, know how it's spelled, and, from most books we pronounce it phonetically "cash-shik" or "cash-sheik". In the Holiday Special, for some reason, the Empire's people say "kazook". Don't correct our hosts, they're relating it from the source.
This has to be the project that made Harrison Ford hate Star Wars.
Seeing this on t.v. as a kid at the time it came out was actually amazing. This was pre-dvd, even pre-vhs, and seeing Star Wars movies again after they left the theater was an impossibility. No one was complaining about how bad this special was at the time; everyone enjoyed seeing these characters again. It also wasn't terribly off compared to the types of Christmas specials that were popular at that time in the 70's; it just sticks out like a sore thumb now because it's out of context. Lumpy was the bomb.
Lumpy was cool
The fact that Art Carney and Harvey Corman are part of Star Wars cannon just makes me happy.
It is just painful to watch... Even just clips of it. That Harvey Korman cooking segment, everything bloody Art Carney does. And I love them both in just about anything else they've ever done. Chewie's family? Gawd almighty. What a load of fart.
sXeblues that’s headley
Craig O neill LOL, indeed. XD
sXeblues how do they not know him?
Craig O neill I found myself wondering that, as well... Seeing as they showed him in clips playing four different characters. It made me wonder, when they referred to him as an 'old guy' in one of them, if they realized that was the same person in all of those clips.
sXeblues painful is right. I couldn’t agree more
Fun fact! The four-armed cook, the how-to robot, and the guy who drinks from this head is all played by Harvey "Hedy Lamarr" Korman
FramedHamProductions they should be kicked off the internet for not knowing headey! It’s headley
Thank you! The fact that they couldn't link the three characters as the same actor was driving me crazy. Also, Harvey Korman was awesome. Well, maybe not so much in the Star Wars Holiday Special but... in other things.
Some great Rich Evans work in there. As a dad, I'd love an RLM/Weekly Planet crossover.
KantSmasher as a dad 😂😂
what does being a dad have to do with it lol
That would be Very Cool
Brody Harding listen to the podcast and you’ll find out.
Maybe this means he's actually Rich Evans's dad...?
3:43 that is the greatest sound I’ve ever heard
Still makes more sense than the sequel trilogy...
Just before Carrie died she was on a comedy show here in the UK saying she had to sing this dire crappy song for this dreadful Christmas show, bless her
Cartoon Han Solo looks like Kylo Ren.
The "Old Man" and the 4 armed Cook as well as the bar guest w/ the hole in his head is THE Harvey Korman, who was very famous in his day, mostly thanks to being a regular in the Carol Burnett Show, but you guys might actually know him better from Blazing Saddles, where he played the villainous Hedley Lamarr
This is the worst thing they have ever done.
Thank you Editor Ben-kenobi, you were mr. sundays only hope..
This was probably better than last Jedi
The "plot" certainly was
And the characters XD
Sorry dude, but this was leagues worse than TLJ.
Sharky Playz Sorry dude this is more original than the TLJ
Ben definitely deserves a month-long holiday; while the two of you put together your best attempt at editing your videos.
I spent Christmas Day watching this and listening to your commentary. I've seen this "show" multiple times and your commentary finally made it a classic in my heart. So thanks for that.
did you know that apparently chewie's family are canon characters.
Guess they survived the attack on the Wookies (Episode 3).
Discover what 1978 was really like. For contrast, compare to Telly Savalas' Kraft TV Special. I swear to god, find info on it, you will not be disappointed. The lack of access to media was really striking compared to now. I mean, Star Wars fans at the time were desperately huddled in front of the TV to have this offal shoveled at them. And it was 6 years of puberty between Empire and Return.
But... there were 3 years between them...
She wasn't drunk. She was high.
So very, very high....
What's the difference? Lol
No one was in their right mind, when they filmed this atrocity. 😆
For all the people complaining that the Last Jedi ruined Star Wars ... no, no, it didn't. Ask them about Christmas.
Practical Theist No, ask them about the Holiday Special
No way..the Holiday special was better than the Last Jedi.
Don’t you think that animated Han Solo looks like Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock?
I remember this. Shit . Now you know how old I am.
Everyone remembers this. It's sbout as obscure and underground as The Room.
I used to watch the Golden Girls on Channel 4 waiting for Sean's Show to start. That bit when Sean had a Bea Arthur cardboard cut out and the real Bea came on....ohh happy days. RIP SEAN HUGHES
10/10 its a masterpiece
I'm glad you have extended this series past just video games again. These are the best.
Hope you guys had a nice life day
James and Mason: You could widdle this down to just the cartoon
Disney+: Don't mind if I do
Does this mean chewbacca is cheating on his wife with maz?
Chewie doesn't seem to spend much time with his family, especially since Lumpy became a Sith Lord and Itchy refused to get treatment for his sex addiction.
00:00 - 14:56: 🤣😂😭😭
06:50: Oh look, Horse Solo!
11:45: Stormtroopers: *My god, what have we done to get this?*
13:21: Han Solo: *George, please kill me... WAIT.*
Rich Evans is actually George Lucas
I knew it.
Call me weird. I love Carrie Fisher's singing, the Wookie costumes, the Boba Fett cartoon and the crystal balls teleportation finally. “The pendulum of the mind oscillates between sense and nonsense, not between right and wrong.” ~ Carl Jung.
oi bloody good work Ben. I appreciate your efforts.
Okay.
That guy eating shite after that twirly move was the best thing ever.
how are you not verified yet? you have almost a million subscribers
Say what you will, but this movie officially created the Star Wars EU.
The Ben cut away is always funny & this is the best one yet
Harvey korman. He played 2 or 3 characters in this movie. He played the cooking lady, the old broken robot. And he played kelman. He was a very big named comedian in the USA. Worked hysterically with Tim Conway and carrol burnette.
I have been waiting for this
3:43 lmfao. that dude landed so hard that he bounced off the hard ground. wow.
The Caravan of Cocaine
The best way to get drugs across the border
lol
Interesting to note that the Julia Child’s impersonator is also the Old Man robot. Both were played by Harvey Korman of The Carol Burnett Show fame. Korman also played Krelman-the alien in the bar who poured his drink into the top of his head.
Hey! That "really old man" and the robot chef were played by Harvey Corman of Blazing Saddles and The Carol Burnett Show. Sure this show sucked but he's a comedy legend!
And the drunken rando. He got three terrible roles in this.
Came here just to comment this.
Cannot believe I sat through the whole thing, knowing its reputation in advance. Utter garbage, and not even so bad it's good.
I remember as a little kid watching this thinking "ok star wars! Cool!" By the end I remember thinking something along the lines of Wtf did I just watch? And where was the star wars part? And this was coming from a relatively simple minded kid. Star wars canon best left in obscurity.
Toby Schmoll me too. I was there lol.
The cartoon Han Solo looks more like Adam Driver than Harrison Ford.

Hands down some of the most enjoyable TH-cam, on TH-cam
The planet of kazook?
It's kashykk (cash-eek )
Max Leduchowski Omg I thought he meant a completely different planet.😂😂😂😂
LatinaFangirl I just hope this gets me some attention from him. Huge fan of Mr Sunday movies been watching for almost 3-4 years
when the special aired they hadn't nailed down the wookie planet name as Kashyyyk; pretty sure in the holiday special it's called Kazzook.
Moonvale52 oh I havent seen for myself, still a youngling but Id say i know a decent chunk of lore
The holiday special planet was Kazzook. This later became what we know now as Kashyyyk(don't know if I spelled this right).
12:00 *This was not a scripted moment. This is Bea Arthur in pure Fight or Flight.*
