Movie history was made with the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special when the producers openly mocked and spit in the face of Star Wars fans.
It may be the most cringe-worthy movie to ever hit the screen.
Star wars was never that great in the first place. If it weren’t for Marcia Lukas having reediting the movie, the British version was a humor film Grade B. She turned it into what it was, and it was a terrible movie. So much was missing and she had a hard time getting any continuity.
I agree. I think George Lucas had a good imagination, and he came up with a broad canvas that was suitable for many stories. But he was a terrible writer (the dialogue in his movies is painful) and he was a terrible director (the acting in his movies is awful). And he allowed others to totally debauch his source material. He made a ton of money. Good for him. But, as an artist, he has always been really, really bad.

She did Star Wars, and Empire Strikes Back. The only two good movies they ever made.
The teddy bear movie was just stupid.
Everything else was even worse.
I saw the first one the week it came out. I was a college student and found it somewhat juvenile and also disjointed. I may have missed some critical stuff because as the weird lettering “In a galaxy far far away...” was still going by, the film broke. We sat there maybe 5 minutes and then it started again with what I remember as something like mechanical camels in the desert.
I was expecting science fiction and I felt like it was a mixture of a western with some Wizard of Oz overtones. I was not at all impressed.
I never saw another one.
That said, I have a friend who would like to see the 3 trilogies and I said I would watch them with an open mind.
Should they be viewed in the order they were released? Or in the chronological order of the story line?
