RiffTrax Discussion > Star Wars Holiday Special
What have we learned?
Raven:
What has the Star Wars Holiday special taught us?
It taught me that I should be grateful I wasn't around in the 70's. (One of many reasons, I'm told)
Prince of Space:
I learned that without this as precedent there could have been other movies whose first fifteen minutes were animals growling (2001 gets a pass).
If anyone else around here lives in Atlanta we should all have had a group screening of this. I would/could still be amazing.
Just Some Guy:
Ere I gazed upon the Life Day programming I slept secure in the knowledge of a rational universe. I never dared in my darkest dreams suspect such eldritch horrors could be found this side of the veil. For once I gazed up the terrors contained there in I found myself only able to speak and write in a psuedo-Lovecraftian form, that shadowy form of speech used to convey antediluvian fears.
Now I wait, sitting in my shrouded home, watching as the unsuspecting populous passes by wishing that I could regain such innocence and knowing that one day the Star Wars Holiday Special lies dead, dreaming in the Lucasfilm vault awaiting the day when the profits are right and it will be unleashed upon a screaming world.
Courtney:
I learned that dignity is quite easily bought. Good to know.
I also learned that old grandpa virtual sex fantasy scenes featuring Diahann Carroll were a perfectly acceptable part of 70s children's entertainment. To echo Raven, god I'm glad I wasn't around in the 70s.
Compound:
I learned that, just as claimed, Flying High does not have a Wikipedia entry. And I learned that the years have done nothing to lessen the horror that is hot pants.
