If nothing else, the two recent offerings (not counting ROGUE ONE, which I liked a lot) have given me interest in seeing the awful Lucas prequels again.<br /><br />@Fran: Actually, Boba Fett appeared in a parade a few months before this aired. That's why I wrote it as first onscreen appearance. There's a newspaper article online showing Fett with Vader. I forget the city now.<br /><br />Judging by comments on the FB page, some folks seem to like this thing. I don't recall if I saw it as a kid or not. It's worth seeing once if you can make it to the end, lol. Most people I know have said same thing--it was difficult to watch to the end. Possibly one day when there's a big box of the entire series (when they're done with it) this will be included among the extras.venoms5https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655919099947763891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-61758015767857991692017-12-29T11:37:40.248-08:002017-12-29T11:37:40.248-08:00Craziest thing ever to air on television.

I did like Jefferson Airplane's part...and the animated bit, the animation is actually pretty good...and its the first appearance of Bobba Fett ever, so that's something. But I hate the way Luke, Leia and Han act on this thing, its like you said, they seem like entirely different characters because they are not being directed by a good director or script, therefore....its crap. Luke simply looks weird. But you know what, I bet back in the day, this must've been awesome for kids of the time...even if its considered crap today, back then it mustve been slightly cool to see their Star Wars characters on tv, however weird it may be. I was only about two when this aired so obviously I didn't see it...but I bet it was appreciated by some.

Abrams and Rian Jonhson films have gone(and their careless use of the original trilogy's beloved characters),this cheesy TV special looks much more inspired and entertaining(even if George Lucas aimed it at children).Steven Millanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01153637815591803117noreply@blogger.com
