The Imperial blockade didn't stop me from getting my hands on it!

Right now, in my hot little hands I have a videocassette. I haven’t been able to watch it yet; I’m saving it for tomorrow. This might be the most talked about but hardly seen Christmas Special ever. It’s joked about, made fun of, and some younger fans aren’t convinced it actually exists.

What do I have? Well my friends, tomorrow I will be watching Chewbacca returning home to celebrate “Life Day” with his son, wife and Father. That’s right, I have a copy of the Star Wars Holiday Special, AKA “The Wookie Christmas” (Well at least according to the insert that came with it). I saw this when it first came out in 1978; I have not seen it since. I’m giddy with excitement over this; this could make this the best Christmas EVER! From everything I recollect it was horrible, but still it’s iconically hilarious by being so bad.

The only down side is that it’s not mine. It was loaned to me by an acquaintance, and I have to return it Tuesday. Thus I don’t have time to get a copy of it. Sigh.

I'm sure you recollect correctly: it was pretty awful.

But was surpassed in its awfulness by the introduction of Jar-Jar Binks!

Can't copy it?

ARGGGGHHHHH!

That man needs to loan it to someone with a DVD-R/VCR combo so this thing can start floating around the internet where it belongs :-)
