Dec 25 2009Happy Life Day From The Star Wars Universe
This is an old-ass clip from 1978 of a Star Wars themed holiday special (Wookie family at 5:00!). But, since there's no Jesus in the Star Wars universe, they celebrate 'Life Day', which, at least from what I could tell, is a present-less holiday that makes children sad.
Here is a segment from the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special featuring Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia singing an ode to "Life Day" - the Star Wars Universe's answer to Christmas.
Wow Leia, that was pretty awful. And, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you supposed to be wearing a golden bikini on Life Day? Oh, hold on -- The Force is talking to me. Topless, The Force says topless.

Thanks to b00geyman, who doesn't so much deliver presents as hide under your bed and try to cut your Achilles tendon if you ever get up to pee.

George Lucas had to approve this steaming pile of TV fecal matter ... which I guess explains "Phantom Menace" now doesn't it?
Anyone have a clip of the Jar-jar Binks Easter special?

The Nostalgia Critic does a review of this movie. It looks pretty bad:

no no no NO NO no no NO OMG no no NO NO.
Can't watch past weh nthe princess starts crooning about the day of peace and the life tree. .. at least they didnt show the part with bea Arther singing the drinking song "Just one more round friend and then homeward bound friend" or even worse the star ship song and dance routine watched by a really diggin it imperail guy.
This was the worst thing to ever hit tv. EVER.
the amount of drugs needed for this cast could have made as mall mountain.

this by far is the WORST piece of tv EVER!!! But I must say the quality of the clip is much better than most of the stuff on you tube.

I love That guy with the glasses the best part was the way he worked up to it in the last 3 reviews of bad Christmas movies, My friends couldn't watch all the NC review of the Star Wars Holiday Special that IS how BAD it is.

Oh how bad this series got before it was done. The prequels are just horrible and the rest is just tripe.

I didn't listen to the video, but it looks like a satanic cult.

Boyfriend and I watched half of it on Christmas Eve after enjoying the green(ery) of our Christmas Tree...horrible movie but good times to be had watching it with the right crowd.

Sorry, I had to make a small change - you have to update the URL to get the video to work again.
