Powerful

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

This movie is one of the most painful things I have ever experienced. As someone who goes out of their way to watch terrible movies I can attest to the draining power of this particular TV special. I'm a fan of the Star Wars saga but this makes me never want to look at Mark Hamill or any of his co-stars ever again. Everything moves painfully slow and goes on for far. Far. FAR too long. You'll see what I mean when it comes to the creepy dancing scene or the inappropriate scene of the grandfather wookie watching a provocatively dressed woman. Harrison Ford is clearly there for a pay check - or because he was being threatened at gun point along with the rest of his family and all he held dear (you can tell from the dead look in his sad and helpless eyes). Watch it for the Star Wars Canon. Not for fun.

I watched this film with my friend Gunner and, wow it was bad. So bad, that as George Lucas said and I quote "If I had the time and a sledgehammer, I'd track down every copy of that thing and smash it." Not only does it have nothing to do with Star Wars, but what it does is even more insulting. A terrible dance routine that preceded Jedi Rocks, a wookiee watching a tutorial video, and don't get me started on the awkward scene where Itchy watches... well, it's better not to mention it, honestly.What's even sadder is that this was the introduction of Boba Fett, and while he does more than what he did in the movies, he's still not a major threat to the rebellion heroes. Also, this film feels the need to bring in the main Star Wars cast, but if you look into their faces, not even trying, you can see how bored they are. They know what they're in. The only thing that saves the film from anything lower is that the B. Arthur scene, as pointless as it was, wasn't horrible. It brought back the cantina from A New Hope with some cool creatures and an emotional song. But that can't save this movie from being terrible.That being said, and, if you want to see a film so bad and awkward, this is for you. But if you actually expect something related to Star Wars, look elsewhere. To end this review off, I'll quote what I said when I and Gunner finished watching the film. "It's one of the weirdest movies I've ever seen, but at the same time, it's one of the worst ones I've ever seen!"

There's no words to describe how bizarre and terrible this thing is, so let me just explain some of the things that happen in this film, because it doesn't get any stranger then listen to annoying wookies grunting at each other with no subtitles for seemingly hours, having to sit through a cooking show hosted by a cross-dressing four armed cook (attempted humor???), Mark Hammel in thick makeup staring directly into the camera explaining that everything will be OK because Chewbacca is probably just running late for life day (WTF is life day???), Stormtroopers watching a hologram that plays a Jefferson Starship music video, listening to a bizarre musical number in a bar featuring a guy who drinks through a hole on the top of his head and a man dressed as a giant rat, seeing Han Solo and Chewbacca awkwardly hugging each other, and having to witness Chewbacca's father using a virtual reality sex machine. Not kidding. Oh look Boba Fett!

I just finished watching this god-awful thing and I can see why it never rebroadcast or was released on VHS and DVD. When I first heard about this I thought maybe it couldn't be that bad. BOY WAS I WRONG! This thing is so unwatchable I just keep begging myself to shut it off but I resisted and continued. So here is the story: Chewbacca's family (Whoever came up with the names has problems) Malla, Itchy, and Lumby are waiting for him to return to celebrate their version of Thanksgiving or Christmas (Life Day). So then we have constant shots of them talking to Luke (Who doesn't really care about them), We watch Malla doing cooking, Itchy watching a music video, and Lumby watching a cartoon about STAR WARS! So then the imperials come to look for Chewbacca but then Han Solo (Played by Harrison Ford who looks like someone forced him to be in this by pointing a gun to his head) brings Chewbacca home and they finally celebrate Life Day. I wish I could got back in time and stop myself from watching this. This thing is awful. If you are a Star Wars fan do yourself and George Lucas (Who also hated this) a nice favor and stay far, far away from this thing!
