since when was that a sin?
I?m reading this in rec.arts.sf.tv, and was kind of hoping that the Star Wars Chritsmas Special had been retroactively erased from existence.

One of the biggest (of many) issues with the Star Wars Christmas
Special is that much of it is in Wookiee language with no sub-titles,
making it completely incomprehensible.
Even the much praised animated Boba Fett segment uses an incredibly bad animation style.

His efforts did fail. I watched it over the Christmas season of 2024.
It's just as bad as everyone says. It's really quite astonishing that
nobody working on it realized it was too bad to deliver. I guess there
were no small children to point out that the emperor had no clothes.
One part I remember was the grandfather watching 3D hologram human porn >right there in the living room, with his little grandson present. When
he started convulsing, I think it was intended to be funny. I guess
wookies have different cultural mores.
The actors should have been on top of the world at that point. Why
didn't they say no to this mess? I guess they were grateful to Lucas for >making them stars.

Oh, that. Yeah, that was pretty ridiculous. The wookies overacted

That was praised? I missed it. I've heard nothing but straight-up
contempt for this show.
Some people were very, very into Boba Fett. There was never much footage
of him, so maybe they were just hungry for more.

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

I did say "**one of** the biggest". :-)

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.

Well, "praised" is perhaps exaggerated. The Boba Fet sequence is
considered the best bit / only bit worth watching of the Holiday
Special by many people. The Holiday Special was Boba Fett's first
on-screen appearance (the character dod appear in a parade just
before), and his popularity was partly why George Lucas included him in
"The Empire Strikes Back" movie.
