Just think. You're 3 years between movies…desperately waiting for The Empire Strikes Back…ravenous for more Star Wars content. Engaging in all sorts of hypothetical debates with your friends…you hear that there is going to be a Star Wars Holiday special and you anxiously count down the days to spend time with your favorite characters again.
And then…this is what you get.
A massive load of bantha fodder.
The Star Wars Holiday Special aired only one time on November 17, 1978 and with good reason. The special features cameos from all of your favorite Star Wars characters, but mainly focuses on Chewbacca's family. That's right. The protagonists of your show are characters that can only roar and subtitles are not provided. Better brush up on your Wookiee language skills!
Listen in as Randy and special guest TRB from "Welcome to Rantyville" discuss this one of a kind curiosity. How did the special come to be, what's in it, and what did the writers and directors think of their project? Find out!

Randy juggles two jobs and is the miserable retail slave of the two. He lives outside beautiful Flint, MI, USA and struggles with being a lazy, yet overworked dreamer and a struggling, but barely trying writer.
Tommy also lives outside Flint, MI with The Beloved and his two step daughters. He's a stand up comedian and a man of questionable common sense. Check out his stand up dates and plan a trip to throw tomatoes at http://tomethompson.com
