The beginning of the end: “Star Wars Holiday Special”
Incoherent, the holiday of “life day” is never explained nor actually made into anything the viewers should care about.
And..the treatment of Chewbacca’s entire family: one huge comedic insert with Art Carney to boot.
The only “good” thing that came from the SWHS was... Bona Fett.
It was his first appearance.
Riding a dinosaur in mud.

Although George Lucas officially denied that the SWHS was part of his vision for Star Wars it was a little too close to the Ewok Adventure in tone and style for those protestations to ring true. And coming from the guy who made Howard The Duck .. well, you know ...

O.K., maybe it was just because I was a kid, but I loved the Christmas special!
That being said, Lucas was just another artsy socialist with NO clue about how the world works generally (but specifically, he made out really well for himself, as they so often and so ironically do.) Disney can head into Avatar territory without deviating much from the prequels at all. Add J.J. Abrams to that, and well...
