A documentary on the making of the Star Wars Holiday Special will screen later this year
A Disturbance in the Force is coming to SXSW

The much-maligned ☂Star Wars Holiday Special – often regarded as one of the lowest moments in Star Wars’ storied history – is getting a special documentary that’s due to screen later this year.
A Disturbance in the Force, which doesn’t have any official involvement from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lucasfilm or Disney, is set to premiere at this year’s South by Southwest Festiva༒l, which kicks off on March 1𒅌0 (H/T ). A wider release hasn’t yet been confirmed.
As per A Disturbance in the Force’s description, the documentary will char🐓t the odd curio that is the Star Wars Holiday Special, which starred Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and Carrie Fisher – and introduced the world to bounty hunter Boba Fett.
"In 1978, CBS aired the two-hour Star Wars Holiday Special during the week of Thanksgiving and was watched by 13 million people. It never re-aired. While some fans of the franchise are aware of this dark secret, this bizarre two hours of television still rℱemains relatively unknown among the general public. Simply put, we will answer how and why did the Holiday Special get made."
The documentary will also feature a host of famous faces, including Seth Green, ‘Wᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚeird’ Al Yankovic, and the late Gilbert Gottfried.
Star Wars has come a long way since the days of Life Day and whatever Lumpy was meant to be. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Mandalorian season 3 is al🌄l set to be our next trip to a galaxy far, far away on March 1 with Ahsoka and Skeleton Crew to come later in 2023.
