I think you're all being too harsh on it. It may be bad, it may be cheesy (personally I like cheese), it has one thing going for it that the holiday special could have benefitted from - a chorus line of dancing stormtroopers. Surely I can't be the only one who gets a kick out of seeing that?

And however misconceived, it seems to be done with more enthusiasm and enjoyment from the participants, than appeared on screen with either the holiday specials or much of the prequels (or ROTJ in Harrison Fords case)
