I have seen part of that holiday special. It was terrible. They had to get chewy home for Christmas. Who knew he had a family. I don’t think any of the major stars wanted to do that piece of crap and yet they had to. If I’ve been carry Fisher might’ve Been on drugs, too to get through that shoot.
Just to clear, it was to celebrate "Life Day". There was no celebrating Christ in that holiday.
It's odd to hear interviewers decades later ask the actors about the "Star Wars Christmas Special" when it was distinctly not about Christmas, even though they launched it to coincide with it.
It's amazing that Hollywood executives tell viewers exactly what they think of themselves and movie viewers and the viewers don't want to believe it.
