HA! Yeah, that's one thing that nothing else in Star Wars has ever even come close to. No EU production that I can remember has ever actually been set up so that it showed the day in the life of any of the characters, that is, on a normal day, when they're not out fighting the Yuuzan Vong or the Empire! I guess the holiday special proves that most people just aren't interested in the day-to-lives of their favorite characters. I did a review of the HS on amazon.com about this. Seeing the star wars characters on their regular days would be like seeing most of our lives from an outsider's view. The holiday special also does something else. It proves that the lives of the characters isn't always fighting and running and violence, that they actually have lives, however scary that concept may be to some. Most people who hate the HS seem to not be able to step back and have fun or laugh at any aspect of star wars, and take everything WAY too seriously. I, for one, like it.
