The Star Wars Holiday Special
A galactic odyssey against oppression.
Directed by Steve Binder
Produced by 20th Century Fox Television, Smith-Hemion Productions
A bizarre, earnest variety-show pastiche that blends Star Wars adventure with holiday sentimentality, musical numbers, and surreal vignettes in service of a family reunion narrative.
Luke Skywalker and Han Solo battle evil Imperial forces to help Chewbacca reach his imperiled family on the Wookiee planet - in time for Life Day, their most important day of the year!
