Happy Star Wars Holidays
Just so you know, I don't really hate you. But I do like sharing the pain:



I originally saw this when it was aired on TV when I was a little kid. Even at the tender age of eight or whatever, I apparently realized that it sucked and I lost interest halfway through. Although there was a small part of me that wondered what happened after the Imperials got summoned back to their base (or something) by Lumpy or whoever modifying their computer. I figured I'd maybe catch it in a rerun.

That never happened. Strangely, they never aired this special ever again. Maybe because it sucked so badly that it made The Phantom Menace look like The Empire Strikes Back by comparison. And because the networks (and George Lucas) heard the sound of millions of young Star Wars geeks crying out in horror and suddenly silent (as they turned off their TVs).

Now this has been available for a few years online. But I still can't bring myself to watch the remainder of the video. So I still don't know how it ends. And somehow, I'm okay with that.

Hahahaha, that's a good one!
 
I've been eternally scarred. Cough...gargle...
 
Wow. Lumpy. What a name.

I thought Christmas was a time for wishing peace on earth and *good will* to men. And then you throw this at us, Jay. Merry Christmas to you too. :)

Seriously though, Merry Christmas.
 
Merry Xmas!
Was that a licensed star wars movie?
 
@CodeJustin -

Yes, it was. Much to George Lucas's regret.
 
Here's a really bad Christmas special; I remember watching this as a kid.

Enjoy ( see how long you can stomach it :> )

Pacman X-Mas Special

29 seconds. :(
 
Gaaaaaaaahhhhh! (>.<)
 
Wow... it's like the opening words scrolling across the screen are warning you just how bad it's going to be. Watch as Greedo argues with one of the Golden Girls? That's one of the major highlights?
 
When even George Lucas has to admit that it's total and complete garbage, you KNOW it's gotta be bad.
