Look at it this way.....would ANYONE here show their kids The Holiday Special before they see anything else? Who knows? You might be jinxing them into hating SW cuz the HS makes the whole thing look STUUUUUUUUPID.


Oh hell no! If my kids want to torment themselves when they're older, that's fine by me, but the HS will never be allowed anywhere near my TV.

I've heard plenty of Star Wars fans so "It's a right of passage" when referring to seeing the abomination that is the Holiday Special. If someone had told me how utterly horrible it was, I wouldn't have bothered to watch it myself. The ONLY good thing about it is the animated segment. The rest is utter crap. I've even told other fans when they said they hadn't seen it "You don't need to. You don't want to. It is SOOOO bad, that you're better off NOT seeing it". Of course, that prompted the "right of passage" line from someone that had seen it.

The Ewoks and Droids cartoons I think I can tolerate. The HS is so bad that it might be worth having, but it's not worth watching.
