Harrison's face when Conan says shortly after Star Wars; just the fear building up in him. You can just see him thinking, "Don't do it. I mean it. I'm going to kill you. I will." He is just wanting to escape. It's wonderful!!!
If Han were there, Conan would have taken a point blank baster hit to the face. “Boring conversation.” Yes, Han shot first. He also walked away. Greedo’s smoldering corpse can’t say the same.

@@byronlee8745 MeToo. I don't care about the prequels because movies are just movies for me but I understand the people who hate it. He had 10 years to came up with something great and 5 years to make sure it looks great and he made that crap. It looks like Lucas using his talent more if he have less money or technology in his hand.
I wonder what she actually does remember, she's very drunk in the actual special and also it was around the time she started to sniff coke like it was oxygen
that would be so hacky. You obviously dont know harrison ford very well. He doesnt want to be known as just Han Solo. Hes done much more than that. In some ways he regrets his role as han solo but obviously acknowledges its why he rose to fame. So he would never do anything like that and I think no self respecting actor would. He is Harrison Ford first, not Han Solo.
If you've never seen the Holiday Special, let me put it like this, as someone who watched the complete thing: the Holiday Special really is as bad as everyone says. But it wasn't really "so-bad-it's-good," as much as it was the kind of movie that makes your brain feel like it's melting. (It's like the recent version of Cats; everything is uncanny or borderline nonsensical, and if you watch it, you'll feel like your sanity is fading away.) If you're sordidly curious about this movie, trust me when I say that you're missing nothing. You don't need to look this up. Unless you want to see the animated portion, which is comically bad, but has the first appearance of Boba Fett.
For some reason, I used to know it existed but didn't know it sucked. So I started watching it, and I was bored out of my mind. Someone should break it down into clips of the isolated "so bad it's good" moments
Thankfully, I was only three when it aired, and if my parents watched it, they've purged it from their memories. The Rifftrax version is (kind of) watchable, though you can tell they're all enduring psychological pain. Poor Kevin Murphy (aka Tom Servo from MST3K) sounds like he's going into a complete meltdown about two minutes in.
Mark Hamill: Treats it like it dosent exist Carrie Fischer: Treats it as a joke Anthony Daniels: Treats it like someone just said a forbidden curse Harrison Ford: *Treats it like he had Vietnam flashbacks*
Of course not. The Special Editions were his decision, made carefully and tweaked to perfection every couple years. Jar Jar is a comedic character, but he fits, and all the other characters are appropriately annoyed by him. (As we are) The Holiday Special is the most random mind-melting thing ever conceived. And Lucas needed it to exist to help fund ESB
@@sidnew2739 First of all, there is no need to be rude. And second of all, yes that is literally the mindset behind them. The Special Editions were released in 1997, to give the films an updated feel. Then we got the 2004 DVD releases, updating the outdated effects of 1997 (ie Jabba) and also fixed a lot of continuity between the OT and PT. The 2011 blu ray release was a mix of the two, ironing out any remaining kinks and giving the colors a new look. In each release, Lucas made new changes to more closely match what he wanted for the films. Lots of careful choices were made. For instance, the Ewoks blink now. Lucas had been trying to be able to get that look right for years. In fact, the versions of the films now are NOT the Special Editions. At the end of the day, I can't imagine why someone would think Lucas was embarrassed about the SE because if anything he's embarrassed by the pre-SE Star Wars movies. (Although I'd actually say the only movie he's actually embarrassed about would be episode 4) He's gotten them closer and closer to what he wanted for years and years. It would be incredibly strange if he were embarrassed about them
1:40 that trooper behind him is staring at the camera prepared to shoot everyone and then himself, he isnt even alive, but he will kill everyone since they mentioned (REDACTED) Christmas Special
When it first aired I had to go to bed mid way through. It was never rerun. Years later I saw a VHS tape of it at a convention and bought it. I watched it once and put it in the closet afterwards. It hasn’t left the closet since. If I tell people this I expect their answers to be “Don’t let it out of the closet! For the love of humanity!”

I watched it, in 1978. I was 9 years old. My older brother had the idea, on the cassette recorder, with mic’ our family had to record the audio,…so, after, audio of Wookies for several minutes. Eventually, I found in a comic book shop, around 2001, they had bootleg vhs tapes, for $1 of “the special”. I paid, I watched, -the audio came back to my mind. I drank whiskey watching, and that made the experience much better. I watched it with a good friend, a SW fan, who had not seen it. We drank several beers, and laughed. Before quality copy on RUclips, I loaned my bootleg vhs, to a family at my church. They were doing a marathon of the films. I told them “This is not all very good. Yet, if you are a true fan, you need to experience it once.” After, one of the family asked if they could have the viewing erased from their minds. No!

After reading so many comments i can't hold back: Guys, we all know that the sequel trilogy was bad, disappointing and clearly not planned from the beginning but let's be real they aren't the worst thing ever since battlefield earth, twilight or this holiday special. They have redeeming qualities thanks to their production value and the acting, that the offered mention haven't, and if you take each film as just a standalone action fantasy space epic they are watchable, not good or a great continuation of the story but not eye bleeding thing that the internet makes it out!
Chris Stuckmann literally said that if the Star Wars holiday special was mentioned to Harrison Ford, then he’d probably snap and kill you and wouldn’t you know it, he went for Conan O’Brien! Obviously it was just a goof, but it was a big intense reaction as was predicted!
The creepiest part of the special to me is how they gave Chewbacca's wife and kid wookies more human like wookie faces. I cant look at them, gives me the willies 😂

I would like to ask, "Would it be cruel and unusual punishment for the Holiday Special to be the only show available in a prison?"
100% it would yes lol
It would be an automatic violation of Habeas Corpus.
It would go against the Geneva Convention to show only this in prison.
