    I think the biggest issue is, it got made!

    No one would have said no to a George Lucas Star Wars project in that
    era... but perhaps they should have.

    George Lucas didn't even want to make it. The studio talked him into
    it, and he regretted it ever since. Similarly with some of the Star
    Wars characters appearing on The Muppet Show.
