    Step inside the pitch meeting that led to the Star Wars Holiday Special!
    Star Wars is one of the most beloved franchises in the world. But between the first and second movie, when nobody really knew what it was going to be-- they tried to capitalize on the success of A New Hope while working on Empire Strikes Back. That attempt took the form of the Star Wars Holiday Special, a made-for-TV movie that’s set in the Star Wars universe and featured Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, and Chewbacca’s family. Okay, MOSTLY Chewbacca’s family actually.
    The special raises a ton of questions- like why isn’t Luke blinking? Why does Chewbacca’s family have so many screens? How are they accessing live feeds of private establishments? Why did do the bad guys watch a full Jefferson Starship music video? Why is Bea Arthur here and why is she singing? What’s up with that weird virtual reality fantasy lady? And most importantly WHAT IS GOING ON?!
    To answer all these questions and more, step inside the pitch meeting that led to the Star Wars Holiday Special!

      What did people think about this, were they wondering why it was a thing, did they have any rampant theories about the franchise? Did the more informed people think it was an attempt at sabotaging the franchise from shady people in Hollywood? Or some sort of an "artistic" experiment gone wrong? Or the doing of drug-crazed individuals?

BBFC is the one to blame for this. Their slogan is: "View what is right for you". LOL. This is why many movies in the UK are censored compared to North American audiences versions.
      For example, Gone in Sixty Seconds (Movies) are a concern because they feared the movies would likely to assist would-be car thieves. That first movie was censored, for awhile. All North American shows and movies suffer this silly system of rules. EU also has a system of rules that UK has to obey dealing with movies, since Brexit is coming (About time), that system be no longer an issue.
