STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL

The Star Wars Holiday Special was a two-hour television
special (including commercials) set in the Star Wars galaxy.
It was the first official Star Wars spinoff produced. It was
directed by Steve Binder. In it, Chewbacca and Han Solo
visit Kashyyyk, Chewbacca's home world, to celebrate Life
Day. Along the way, they are pursued by agents of the
Galactic Empire who are searching for rebels on the planet.
The special introduces three members of Chewbacca's family:
his father Attichitcuk, his wife Mallatobuck, and his son
Lumpawarrump.

The main storyline of the film, which is set in 2 ABY,
transpires on Kashyyyk. During the film, scenes also take
place in outer space and in spacecraft including the
Millennium Falcon and an Imperial Star Destroyer. The
variety-show segments and cartoon introduce a few other
locales, such as a cantina on the desert planet of Tatooine
and a gooey, reddish water planet known as Panna.

The program also features some cameos (although the cameo
actors are listed as stars) by other Star Wars characters,
including Luke Skywalker, C-3PO, R2-D2, Darth Vader, Han
Solo and Princess Leia Organa. The program also features a
cartoon produced by Toronto-based Nelvana that officially
introduces the bounty hunter Boba Fett.

The film is notorious for its negative reception. George
Lucas had limited involvement with the film's production,
and he was unhappy with the results. David Acomba, a
classmate of George's at U. S. C. film school, had been
selected to direct the special, but he chose to leave the
project, a decision supported by Lucas. The special has
never been re-aired or officially released on video, but has
been widely bootlegged by fans, many of whom consider it
ironically hilarious or kitschy.
