Do you like Star Wars Holiday Special?

Post by Kreshna Aryaguna Nurzaman »

Well, the answer may be very obvious, and it takes a psychopath like me to question if there's someone who actually love it.

Still, while it was a "trying-to-be-cute-yet-turned-out-to-be-disgusting" attempt on Star Wars, I wonder whether someone watched it when she/he during early childhood, and actually loved it the way small kids love Care Bears or Teletubbies.

Probably some of you guys just realized how disturbing the Holiday Special was after they grew up, or maybe, I said maybe, there are actually some people who still watching it in secret, hiding the fact from their friends and family that they're actually still LOVE Star Wars Holiday Special.

Time for honesty.

How about a fifth poll option: "Don't know, don't care, haven't watched, don't intend to."

I don't know, I don't care, I haven't watched it, nor intend to do so.

Ah, but it seems so many people don't share your indifference. I mean, how can you NOT care about something you hate?

You'd sell your own grandmother for a FUQ, wouldn't you? :twisted:
どうして?お前が夜に自身お触れるから。
Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shape-shifting Master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil,
but a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow
was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Now, the fool
seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku...

When I was a child, I thought as a child....

Yes, as a child, I saw the StarWars Holiday special. My brother and I watched it, and thought it was the best thing ever, because it was StarWars and we loved the Movie, and I probably had been bugging my mom all week to let me watch it.

In fact, I probably had my 9in. Leia doll in hand when I watched it. *shrugs*

I remember a scene where Chewie's son was building a toy or something?

Seriously, though, while it's easier to say "I don't know what Lucas and his crew got in mind when they made Star Wars Holiday Special", I actually wondered what kind of market segment they intended the movie on. I mean, why did they make it on the first place if they don't have the slightest idea why people would like it at all?

So I guess the reason we hate it because it's pretty childish and "cute" (the way we hate things like Care Bears), instead of total lack of quality.

This lead to further question, though: would (not) you let your kids watching SW Holiday Special? :twisted:

No, waidda minute. You mean action figure don't you? Or are you telling me they actually made a Barbie-style, little cutie huggie Leia *doll*???? :shock:

We already have a Holiday Special thread in this forum. The poll is unnecessary, as I'm sure you could easily count the number of people who liked it on one hand.
