This is so hilariously bad i love it just sit down and watch it with friend's and you will have the best time of your life that is all you need to know.

This may possibly be the worst thing that was ever on TV. It is nothing like Stars Wars and it doesn't make any sense. And it's extremely boring. There's a bunch of terrible songs that don't fit the already incomprehensible plot and they are painful to watch and hear. There's even a scene where Chewbacca's dad has weird space phone sex. How could that have been on a prime time family special? This is so bad that you have to see it.

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!

Guest stars: Bea 'Golden Girls' Arthur, comedian Art Carney, Jefferson 'not as good as they used to be' Starship and Harvey 'Blazing Saddles' Korman. Korman plays three characters - a 4-armed female TV chef, a barfly who drinks through the top of his head and a malfunctioning computer help file.Warning: 99% of the dialogue in the first 10-15 minutes is pure, unsubtitled Wookie. Stick with it if you can... even if it isn't worth it. Luke, Leia and the droids phone in short interludes, if only to explain what the hell is going on (and so slowly).Art Carney plays either a shopkeeper or a pornographer. Or both. Whatever he is, his 'Life Day' present to Ol' Dirty Grandpa Wookie seems a bit fruity at first, but then turns into a tame musical number. By the way, Grandpa is called Itchy, and can beat Robert DeNiro in doing that bottom lip thing any day of the week.When Bea Arthur (as the landlady of the cantina) gets her musical spot (not remotely connected to the rest of the film), it all goes a bit Weimar. Actually, she's not bad, given the material.Han Solo and Chewbacca do eventually appear. Mild jeopardy ensues. By this time Harrison Ford looks like he has lost the will to live.Towards the end there's the quasi-mystical 'Life Day' bit that doesn't really make any sense, but at least tells you that the show is almost over. The more expensive cast members actually make an appearance on-set instead of their earlier phoned-in segments.Princess Leia sermonises... and then sings. It doesn't go well. Somewhere a long long way away in England, Alec Guinness looked at his bank account and felt bloody lucky he didn't have to be in this.Decidedly odd. And remarkably bad. However, no Ewoks and no Jar Jar Binks, which is a plus, although there is a baby Wookie called 'Lumpy', who even PETA would have enthusiastically hunted and shot.
