"Did we interrupt him in the middle of a kabuki play? And what's with the make-up?" There's actually a very, very good reason Mark Hamill had so much damn make-up. The special was shot just after his car crash. This is why his face is covered up at the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back, then he got bitch-slapped by the wampa, thus explaining the scars. By the team they healed in Return of the Jedi, it made him look more mature, like his character, so it all worked out very well in the end.

Along with Nimrod and Dorkus. That Star Wars Holiday Special is easily the best Rifftrax there will ever be, the Mike, Kevin and Bill are at their best and seemed to be having so much fun.
The Carol Burnett Show is outdated but every once in awhile Harvey comes up with a line, even people today will understand. Harvey plays a woman sometimes and everyone hollers when he does. And you can see why but then you watch this and your like why?
During a 2006 interview on Conan, Harrison Ford was asked about the Holiday Special. He denied any involvement with a face like he was having a Vietnam flashback.
@magnetothewhite ( I think now hav a good explanation for what kylo to turn to the dark side ) Because Han and Leia decided to bring the poor bastard to the wookies during life day
So after SpongeBob Squarepants musical where they made "Talk Like a PIRATES day", so Star Wars exists in SpongeBob universe? I'm not sure if I'm okay with that.
