It’s hilarious to me she insisted on singing when the makers didn’t want her to. It’s also hilarious she said she wanted a copy of this scene to play at parties for when she wants everyone to leave.

Everything about this is unintentionally fucking hilarious. I love how NOBODY seems to really be having a good time lmao. Carrie struggling to hit the high notes. Harrison questioning his career choices. Mark desperately trying to disassociate from the situation. Chewie staring off hauntedly like he's having Vietnam flashbacks. Even R2 looks over at C3PO like "Bruh are you seeing this shit?" Fantastic. You could never replicate this kind of feeling intentionally.
Carrie’s having the time of her life, because she’s so high she probably thinks she’s actually Leia. Everyone else is ready to rope themselves though, yeah.
00:29 "That bright speck in the distance? That's the last flicker of your career disappearing before your eyes." Or so he must have thought...fortunately, "Empire" and Indy came along.
***** No. Maybe I just find CF's obnoxious singing really distracting. In all seriousness, though, I can hear a few notes of the main theme in a few notes of this song, but not the whole theme and not throughout the whole song.
Madkatz Productionz to be honest since she died hearing this makes me cry every time. The song is about life but now with Carrie’s passing it reminds me our lives are precious and we should appreciate being alive.
Her father was Eddie Fisher. An A-grade douchebag who happened to have a golden voice. Her mother starred alongside Gene Kelly in Singin' in the Rain and had a decent pair of pipes herself. I'd be surprised if Carrie couldn't sing.
It is a communal song for hard times, and is sung beautifully. If you watch it more like musical theatre a la The Wizard of Oz, instead of the usual Star Wars style, it makes sense.
@@josiahbahuaud2294apparently Bea Arthur’s character is also cannon which means we are a Chewbacca family away from having this special be actual cannon
0:28 - In my restless dreams, I see that show. Star Wars Holiday Special. You promised you'd take me there again someday, but you never did. Well, I'm alone there now. In our special place. Waiting for you. "My career. Could you really be in this town?"
Fun fact, this was according to Carrie Fisher when she had a really bad coke addiction, so that was probably part of why she looks so fucking beyond it in this scene.
Even I, a 13-year-old Star Wars fanatic who saw the film on its opening day didn't make it this far into this special. I can only remember as far as Bea Arthur pouring a drink into Harvey Korman's head.
Yes, it seems like an abomination now, but it was the 70s, once you've been fed a diet of Logan's Run, HR Pufnstuf, and KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park, this won't seem so weird to you.
Remember folks: Someone WROTE this song. Someone else APPROVED this song for inclusion into the script. Carrie agreed to PERFORM it. The network agreed to AIR it. Hundreds of thousands WATCHED it. ........ This proves without a doubt that the 1970s had the BEST DRUGS, EVER!!!!
People talk about how bad this performance is, but I don’t get it. Probably the best performance in the entire special. She’s actually surprisingly good, it’s everything else about this that’s so embarrassing.
Tyler Harris pmsl watching him literally get enraged over this is both fucking hilarious and terrifying (because he's such a sweetheart and dork that you can't ever imagine him getting anything more than even just slightly mad!
I loved every second of the holiday special! I mean, A New Hope was good and all, but all that time I was just wondering: ok, but what are Chewbacca's dad's fantasies? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She did pretty good, never heard her sing before! RIP Carrie Fisher aka Princess Leia, you will be remembered from Earth, and from a galaxy far far away.
This is my favorite. We celebrate a day of peace, a day of harmony, a day of joy we all can share together joyously; a day that takes us through the darkness, a day that leads us into might, a day that makes us want to celebrate the light; a day that brings the promise that one day we'll be free... to live, to laugh, to dream, to grow, to trust, to love, to be!
Carrie looks like she is high? I think Hamill's eyes are even more unfocused .. though I heard it might be bc of painkillers after his accident. But Harrison at 0:29 is the funniest. Haha-
+fruitcake4t Well, she did admit she was very drunk and/or high when she did this. Although, I can't imagine anyone made it through making this film sober...
The Real Reason why Ben Solo joins the 1st Order.
OMG XD
Conrado Javier LMFAO!
Conrado Javier I almost spit my drink on my phone after reading this comment. Too funny!
He thinks Mommy is a Bad Singer.
And she was obviously on drugs at this time. Would have destroyed his faith in her.
Given how high Carrie was during this production, this is literally the closest in our lifetime that we'll see a musical set in actual outer space.
This has to be the most underrated comment of all time!
@@MrGenexxx And Carrie herself would have likely laughed her ass off at it.

@@jedijournal9159 It's a joke.
@@jedijournal9159 calm down, they were joking
Yeah thats my original trilogy to me😂😂😂
Sadly, I loved the Ewok movies as a little kid.
0:29, he is thinking "Han must die so Harrison may live."
OMG XD
The main reason Harrison wanted Han Solo dead
truely
Followed by Mark going "Well this just perms my hair."
It’s hilarious to me she insisted on singing when the makers didn’t want her to.
It’s also hilarious she said she wanted a copy of this scene to play at parties for when she wants everyone to leave.
She was more than a princess. She was a queen. ❤
The best part is I think they wanted Luke to sing and he said absolutely not
Harrison and Mark are thinking, why are we here?
Mark was on pain killers and Harrison hated his job at this point
luke and Han:WTF!?
Mark said he didn't want to do it, he said it would be bad, and was he right.
Why are we still here? JUST TO SUFFER?!
Every day I can feel my leg, my arm...even my fingers
0:29 Harrison Ford's face says it all
That's just how he always looks.
And after that, Mark’s big *GULP*
Usually the mouth part of the face.
You can see Harrison Ford die inside at 0:30.
Smooth
Jajajjajajaaaaa so true!!!
and then fourty years later Han Solo really did die....spoilers
+schtive81 "The exact moment where Harrison Ford stopped caring. About acting. About everything. He decided he was just gonna phone everything in from there on out"
- From Red Letter Media's Best of the Worst "Star Wars Holiday Special"
+schtive81 He's probably thinking ' I wanna buy some deathsticks '.
Reminder: The Star Wars theme is canonically a Wookie Life Day hymn.
This makes Rise of the Skywalker looks like the empire strikes back
You mean Attack of the Clones.
It makes every single film look like a masterpiece.
It's better than Empire in Kevin Smith's opinion. At least, it was in 1999.
El Gusanillo Del Juego Nah... Cause The Last Jedi was way better than the Phantom Menace.
Can you believe honest trailers said that this was better than the clone wars movie?
If Star Wars can survive this, it can survive anything.
carrie fisher: on some kind of drug harrison ford: "damn this shit sucks" mark hamill: under painkillers "where am i and what is this?
Ironically, Han's got a Shitty Dance in Kinect Star Wars.
She was absolute high on cocaine there, because she couldn't get a grip with sudden popularity followed first movie.
Everything about this is unintentionally fucking hilarious. I love how NOBODY seems to really be having a good time lmao.
Carrie struggling to hit the high notes. Harrison questioning his career choices. Mark desperately trying to disassociate from the situation. Chewie staring off hauntedly like he's having Vietnam flashbacks. Even R2 looks over at C3PO like "Bruh are you seeing this shit?"
Fantastic. You could never replicate this kind of feeling intentionally.
I'm so happy I saw your comment lol its all true LOL
I was crying with laughter reading this. Spot on
Carrie is high on coke, Harrison wishes he was having what she was having and mark was thinking about how he’d much rather be in that car crash again.
Carrie’s having the time of her life, because she’s so high she probably thinks she’s actually Leia.
Everyone else is ready to rope themselves though, yeah.
Also Mark Hamill having obvious make-up on him likely related to the crash.
00:29
"That bright speck in the distance? That's the last flicker of your career disappearing before your eyes."
Or so he must have thought...fortunately, "Empire" and Indy came along.
Rob Simmons And one percent of all Star Wars toy sales. Not kidding.
@@naranara1690 As much as that? Wow. I wouldn't have thought Lucas would be so generous. He is a business man, after all.
that awful moment, several seconds in, when you realize this is to the tune of the Star Wars main theme, which is now ruined forever.
+JCIce007 Am I the only one who doesn't hear the Star Wars theme in this song?
***** No. Maybe I just find CF's obnoxious singing really distracting.
In all seriousness, though, I can hear a few notes of the main theme in a few notes of this song, but not the whole theme and not throughout the whole song.
+Sofia A It's clearly heard starting from 0:27
+Sofia A Just pay attention to the music on the background.
Mau506 Yeah, I can hear it in the background music, but it doesn't necessarily match CF's singing.
No wonder Kylo looked up to Vader!
If holidays with my parents and uncle were like this, I'd look up to my mass murdering grandfather too.
Remember that this is yearly so who knows how many times Ben had to see it
The special was shit, but Carrie Fisher is a good singer, and this is a pretty nice song all the same
Pretty much the only thing redeeming about the special at all. It’s sad really.
Madkatz Productionz to be honest since she died hearing this makes me cry every time. The song is about life but now with Carrie’s passing it reminds me our lives are precious and we should appreciate being alive.
Yes i liked the song and i think they should have used the bachground theme for the ending of ep 6 it was pretty emotional
@@jazzprincess287 boba fetts first appearance
I don't like the song, but Carrie had a very nice voice. There were many songs that suited her better than this.
Did you know there was no cocaine in 1979? Carrie Fisher used all of it in 1978.
+gokinsmen Well that would explain the ear "buns" !
they found *cocaine* in her autopsy.
Best. Comment. Ever! :D
Yup, the cocaine shortage of '79 was a dark time.
After watching that, who could blame her?
Is that her real voice? She's pretty good. Now, if I can unsee this, that'd be great.
Her father was Eddie Fisher. An A-grade douchebag who happened to have a golden voice. Her mother starred alongside Gene Kelly in Singin' in the Rain and had a decent pair of pipes herself. I'd be surprised if Carrie couldn't sing.
Her mom was Debbie Reynolds
Yup, Debbie’s kid had a beautiful voice. Now look up “carrie fisher laverne & shirley” and you can see her sing while dressed as a Playboy Bunny.
@@avan5140 your forgot to say to look it up STRICTLY for research purposes 😉
When I heard she passed away I came right here, for some reason it's the one part of this terrible holiday special I can appreciate
It is a communal song for hard times, and is sung beautifully. If you watch it more like musical theatre a la The Wizard of Oz, instead of the usual Star Wars style, it makes sense.
Jesus didn't die for this
yoooo im crying 😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂
And now i'm crying...lol
I nearly peed myself, when I read this xD
Yes he did. He died of laughter.
He actually died because of it, ahead of time, because he was scared to live to hear such a thing.
Carrie Fisher:
"Song may seem silly to you now but, when you live in a time where all Star Wars Fans are divided and I'm dead,
You're gonna cry."
She's So High. Bless Her.
Yeah... Han's face just nails my feelings on this.
+Nacho Saldaño Come on, it's pretty good
00:29 Priceless.
Ha! that was awesome.
Here marks the day that Harrison Ford told the director to kill off his character
This is dead. On.
0:43 R2 looks like saying "WTF!" to C3PO.
Well boys... Life Day is now canon, thanks to The Mandalorian...
Rebels did it first.
@@josiahbahuaud2294apparently Bea Arthur’s character is also cannon which means we are a Chewbacca family away from having this special be actual cannon

I can't be the only one who actually enjoys this
I dont see why everyone thinks its so bad. Shes not amazing but not horrible either.
No, no no. It was horrible.
@@PeachBlossomMCyea she did good because I never heard her sing before.
I am dying out of laughter reading all the comments xD
Ah the prequels don't seem so bad after all!
The prequels don't seem bad at all* !
False.
Oswin Pond Prequels are shit
I'll take this over Jar Jar any day.
It's treason then.
It isn't that bad of a song. It just happens to sit within the most unwatchable piece of crap ever to bear the name of a beloved franchise.
Yeah, but 'Goodnight but not Goodbye' blows this out of the water!
This must be a pre-Disney comment. "The Turkish Star Wars" seems respectable now.
Hello! I'm from the future! 🙂
Hahaha. The Rise of Skywalker comes out in 1 week. Can't wait to come back and check this then.
This was in the holiday special, not TROS
Well, that made my Life Day.
Fun fact, this was according to Carrie Fisher when she had a really bad coke addiction, so that was probably part of why she looks so fucking beyond it in this scene.
Hee! I love the totally disgusted look on Harrison Ford's face.
I'll be honest, she has a nice voice. The kind of voice that puts children to sleep, except when they hear this all the children die in their sleep.
Han Solo looks like he's gonna fall asleep
Luke goes like "I understand you"
Harrison is just like: I hate my life.
Even I, a 13-year-old Star Wars fanatic who saw the film on its opening day didn't make it this far into this special. I can only remember as far as Bea Arthur pouring a drink into Harvey Korman's head.

Still better than "The Last Jedi". There, I've said it.
Now I understand why Carrie did all those drugs - she was trying to get back to some kind of reality.
Is this the woman Porkins, Biggs and all those other young men died for?

porkins wasnt that big of a loss though.
At least we got Stormtrooper TK-555!

That’s funny. I was enjoying this performance so much that I did not even notice anyone panning it. 😃

RIP Leia...May the Force be with you,always...
R.I.P Carrie Fisher, may the force be with you :'(
And the blow.
This makes Attack of the Clones seem like a Oscar Winning Masterpiece.

Vader: Stop that! You’re not going into a song while I’m here!
R.I.P. Princess Leia :( May the force by with you... Always...
Rather watch this than the Acolyte
RIP Carrie fisher, she is now one with the force
Thanks to clips like this, I can prove to my grandkids that this actually happened. I love how it took everything she had not to burst out laughing.
Mark really should have shared his pain meds with Harrison! God bless Carrie she was doing so much coke she didn't need a ship to get to space.
Nothing will ever haunt me like Chewie wearing that red robe. Nothing
I can't watch this without thinking of Chris Stuckmann's reaction to the scene from his review lol

This explains why C-3PO wanted a memory wipe so many times haha.
Harrison surely feels bad for himself and carrie and mark hahahaha.
At least we get to hear carrie sing.
Mark's on painkillers and probably has no idea where he is and Carrie admitted to being either high or drunk while filming this.
Ford and Hamill are both wishing that Lucas has passed them whatever drugs he was on when he was making this.
This makes Attack Of the Clones look like Avengers: Endgame
Live Long and Prosper, Carrie Fisher
Carrie looks like she is high? I think Hamill's eyes are even more unfocused .. though I heard it might be bc of painkillers after his accident.
But Harrison at 0:29 is the funniest. Haha-
Well I hope she's high.
Put this song on very loud in school.
I’m glad I’m watching this drunk, because I couldn’t be sober and sit through this...
