Isn't that from Christmas Special?
Never seen it.
Never seen it.
It is indeed.
It's got Bea Arthur singing, Harvey Korman being desperately unfunny and Art Carney putting that Oscar win to good use.
Hamill is so made up post car-crash he looks like the joker, Carrie Fisher also sings and most of it is in unsubtitled Shyriiwook. Also Chewie's dad kinda watches porn and there s Jefferson Starship.
And Boba Fett's first appearance.

Vader, please tell me you know what the Star Wars Holiday Special is.
I don't have much faith left in me after 2018.

Thinking of the bigger picture, I've always said I'd have trouble seeing the main saga as a coherent series. And for two main reasons
1-I've backed off my first one which is my visceral reaction from VIII which was that Rian said Fuck Off to everything J.J. set up. Multiple viewings and reading (including Vader's great analysis) finally made my change my minds. I watched them back-to-back this week and felt VIII was a radical yet a natural continuation of things that were set up in TFA. But...
2-The transition between RoTJ and TFA works on a character level for me. Luke, Leia and Han were all really well written and their emotional arcs worked for me. The worldbuilding though is atrocious. And this is 100% JJ/Kasdan's fault. I simply can't accept without explanation the new First Order that came out of nowhere with seemingly infinite resources. It completely undermines RoTJ's triumphant ending also. Which is why I really have trouble connecting both trilogies together. I think they are both amazing on their own, but it honestly feels more a soft reboot than a natural continuation of the OT. As a six (or nine, prequel fans)-film story, it just doesn't work.
Just imagine having a fourth Lord of the Rings movie with an army of orcs and a new Sauron-like evil presence without any explanation. TFA desperately needed a LOTR-like prologue to explain what happened during these 30 years. And I don't want to know about books or TV shows, the movie has to provide the information
