There was one good thing that came out of the holiday special, which was the Boba Fett animated segment. I thought it was really cool. The rest just give fans a hilarious laugh because of how stupendously bad it is. Here is the description:
In 1977, “Star Wars” became a cultural phenomenon that single-handedly revitalized a stagnant film industry and forever changed the way movies were sold, made, and marketed. Movies would never be the same again.
A year later, not even television.
In 1978, CBS aired the two-hour “Star Wars Holiday Special” during Thanksgiving week and it was watched by 13 million people. It never aired.
While some fans of the franchise are privy to this dark secret, these bizarre two hours of television still remain relatively unknown to the general public. In a nutshell, we will answer how and why the “Holiday Special” was created.
The document is directed by Jeremy Coon AND Steve Kozakand you can expect to see Seth Green, Weird Al Yankovic, Taran Killam, Gilbert Gottfried, Bonnie Burton, Paul Scheer, Bruce Vilanch, Lenny Ripps, Donny Osmond, AND Miki Hermann it helps tell the story.
The documentary will premiere at the South by Southwest Film Festival (SXSW) later this year.
