    They say George Lucas himself hated the Star Wars Holiday Special enough that he wanted to smash all videotapes of it with a sledgehammer.

    I’ve seen a few minutes of the Holiday Special. Someone was either drinking or snorting something bad to come up with that.

    I didn’t even know there was a “Star Wars Holiday Special”. I’ll have to look it up.

    In the late 1970s America was gripped in a fever started by TV variety shows. Even the Muppets go into it. I remember episodes of the Muppet Show with such guests as Linda Ronstadt, Christopher Reeve and even Mark Hamill. George Lucas, and Fox, wanted to keep Star Wars in people’s minds while they were making Empire Strikes Back. Somebody came up with an idea for a variety show but with Star Wars characters. The Holiday Special is what we got. I have it on tape (it’s unavailable on disc) and play it at Xmas time. BTW, in the animated segment Boba Fett is introduced. Go and May the 4th be with you.

    In later years, Darth Vader took a job for the narrator on Arby’s commercials.

    I wonder if the artist did a little carving on the walnut shell before it looked like Chewbacca?

    I saw the holiday special the one and only time it aired. The only thing I remember is they used Silkie chickens as some sort of bizarre alien poultry. I called my mother into the room to see these “exotic” birds that she had roaming around the backyard. From what I’ve heard from others, I’m lucky that’s the ONLY thing I remember from this Christmas turkey.

    The walnut looks more like The Wolfman as played by Lon Chaney, Jr.

    When he played Chewbacca, his lines were in English. The vocal effects were dubbed in later.

    Chewbacca is a disgusting habit that leads to gum disease and oral cancers.
