I?m reading this in rec.arts.sf.tv, and was kind of hoping that the Star >> Wars Chritsmas Special had been retroactively erased from existence.
George Lucas tried.
May have not succeeded.
His efforts did fail. I watched it over the Christmas season of 2024.
It's just as bad as everyone says. It's really quite astonishing that
nobody working on it realized it was too bad to deliver. I guess there
were no small children to point out that the emperor had no clothes.
One part I remember was the grandfather watching 3D hologram human porn
right there in the living room, with his little grandson present. When
he started convulsing, I think it was intended to be funny. I guess
wookies have different cultural mores.
The actors should have been on top of the world at that point. Why
didn't they say no to this mess? I guess they were grateful to Lucas for making them stars.
