Title: SW Holiday Special Post by: Wence on December 02, 2004, 06:55:18 PM STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL
I love the old StarWars-Trilogy since I watched it for the first time (maybe 15years ago) but I was really shocked last week, when I heard about SWHolydaySpecial. Here in Germany this movie (this hulk of a movie!) is absolutely unknown - I think even 90% of the SW-Fans don´t know about it (only the hardcore-SW-freaks). I downloaded it Immediately and watched it with two of my friends - man, that was exquisite bad-taste-entertainment !!! What I want to know is: 1. For this site is called "badmovies", do you like this movie or not? (Obligatory question: do you think this is a good-bad-movie or bad-bad-movie? 2. Me, I Iike it much, and, compared to this new Episode -1, it is a "real SW-Part". Which charracter do you think is more a) annoying, b) embarrasing, c) bad-taste, d) an insult to an eyesore : little ANAKIN or hairy LUMPY ? Title: Re: SW Holiday Special Post by: AndyC on December 03, 2004, 06:11:16 AM Between those two, definitely Lumpy. Although, Itchy and his porn is a close second. Leave it to TV producers of the 70s to conclude that since a character was known as 'Chewy', calling characters Lumpy and Itchy would be appropriate.
Still, the most embarrassing addition to the Star Wars Universe has to be Harvey Korman. I might see if there are any SW fans I can inflict this special on this year. But it's so long and slow and painful that I don't know if I can watch it more than once every couple of years. I treated my wife to it last year, and she finally understood what I meant when I told her it's awful to watch, but impossible to look away. It's just so fascinatingly bad that it hooks you.

If one takes the Star Wars universe seriously, this is not for you!!

I don't know how legal that is, but I suggest buying one while you can... It's great quality (much better than the VHS version I bought off Ebay).
