So, what can be said about this disaster that hasnât been said already? Iâm honestly not sure, but Iâll see if I canât cobble something together. My brainâs still seeping out through my nose, though. I hear thatâs a common symptom which follows exposure to this very âspecialâ Holiday Special. Sorta like opening the Ark of the Covenant only worse because you have to stare at the unfathomable horror for 96 minutes.

Whatâs the plot? Chewieâs Original Trilogy Extended Universe family wants him to come home for Kashyykâs most important holiday of the year, Life Day. Itâs sorta like a vague amalgamation of Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanza and every other winter holiday minorities celebrate. However, Chewie is having a hard time getting to Kashyyk because the Empire is chasing him and Han all over the galaxy. The bulk of the feature-length Special revolves around Chewieâs treehouse-dwelling family; his wife, Malla, his son, Lumpy, and his geriatric father, Itchy. Sound like rejects from a Hanna Barbara cartoon, donât they?
