Episode 66: The Star Wars Holiday Special

Happy Life Day everyone! On this episode we observe every Wookiee's favorite holiday with a look at the Star Wars Holiday Special! The year was 1978, Star Wars was still the hottest movie on the planet, so the folks at CBS smashed together a two-hour primetime special that is still leaving Star Wars fans baffled to this very day.

We got celebrity guest stars Art Carney, Harvey Korman and Bea Arthur, musical performances from Diahann Carroll and Jefferson Starship, and a weird story about the Empire terrorizing Chewbacca's family around the holidays. It's all very strange...
