I always believe the Holiday Special could have been quite watchable if it had been edited back to about an hour or half hour. Nearly all of the guest appearances should have been left on the cutting room floor, and all those tediously long and trivial bits should have been cut back to short scenes. George Lucas should have been on hand to keep the plot interesting and to re-take the bits with very bad acting. The first few minutes are okay, then everything goes awry. Lots of silly stuff like baking cakes should have been shot down in flames instantly by any serious producer! And definitely NO singing!!! The wookiees are not at all convincing. Turning them into a typical 70s suburban family was clearly a disaster.

I have to admit the "virtual reality" machine in which Chewy's dad gets off on an erotic fantasy is kind of cool. But most of the "Commodore 64" technology used throughout the show looks very lame. In fact it looked lame back then, and this was in the days before Commodore 64s existed!! lol!
