Discover the campy charm of The Star Wars Holiday Special, a nostalgic holiday classic.



Why You Should Finally Watch The Star Wars Holiday Special This Year

With all the hype surrounding The Rise of Skywalker and a decade of reboots, remakes, and prequels, The Star Wars Holiday Special stands out as a strange omission in the Star Wars timeline. Released in 1978, this bizarre one-off special is often seen as a black sheep among Star Wars fans. Some critics have called it cringeworthy, corny, and even racist due to its dated portrayals and cultural insensitivities. But here lies the beauty of the show. It’s the best (worst?) display of the Star Wars camp and kitsch of 70s and 80s television.

You get the chance to relive a bygone era

Before the Star Wars Empire even existed, it ruled supreme on television in an array of wacky clothing and hairstyles. Yes, I’m talking about Star Wars Holiday Special. At every step, the 97-minute special screams late-’70s/early-’80s TV nostalgia from start to finish, ensuring the viewer will instantly channel his or her wayback to the disco-dust-caked days when this holiday special originally premiered, along with its predecessor to TV, Saturday morning cereals, and children enjoying breakfast with cartoon, comics and cereal boxes adorned, by the iconic TV series (e.g. Tom’s of Maine commercials promoting social awareness, Wonder of Learning, etc.,…the list goes on…)

Don’t get stuck like it’s a 97-hour test

If not much changes, then our entertainment’s future might stay behind at the crossroad intersection from the past:…from the ’40-’90s (of an alternative timeline), by Star Wars Holiday Special that Star Wars Holiday Special we want now.
