The Christmas promotion that has almost ruined the entire history of Star Wars

Christmas Eve is the day to reunite the family, eat a lot of treats, join everyone to sing "It's Christmas" with Simone, make the pavement joke and many other Christmas traditions that exist in Brazilian families. But do you know what does not usually remind you of Christmas Eve? The Star Wars .

Long before George Lucas managed to "spoil" his own creation with the trilogy of the mediocre, in 1978, the director ceded the rights of the Star Wars to the CBS TV broadcaster, which produced the first official spin-off of the franchise almost 40 years before the release of Rogue One .

Pbadage Between the Events of At New Hope and ] The Empire Strikes Back The Star Wars Holiday Special ("Star Wars Christmas Special") is held during the "Day of Life", a commemorative holiday in Kashyyyk (home planet of Chewbacca) and which has many similarities with our Christmas. The story is a version of Star Wars to The Odyssey of Homer, Han and Chewie going through various problems that are delaying their journey on the planet.

The film was only televised times at Christmas 1978 in the United States. United and Canada, and has been buried in the history of the franchise for its horrible quality. Without any of George Lucas' film innovations, the movie seems to be exactly what it is: a version of itself without a budget, designed to be televised when the television audience is shrunk.

Although this is the first movie in the series to feature the character Boba Fett, the long-haul counts on several "strange" decisions, like long conversations in Wookiee that are not subtitled (or have no "sense translator", as in the dynamics between Han Solo and Chewbacca),

Even though it was left out by CBS, LucasFilms and Disney, the film Star Christmas Wars still lives on this one. a place where all things raw and insignificant will become immortal: YouTube. It can be seen in its entirety for more than an hour and a half (unfortunately without Portuguese subtitles), but the production is so bad that watching more than twenty minutes is a challenge to the mental health of the viewer [19659002]
