Directed by Steve Binder, the Star Wars Holiday Special was said to be set between the events of A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back and was centered around Chewbacca’s Wookie tradition of Life Day.
Star Wars have recently scored another holiday special on Disney+ titled The LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special, which is now available for streaming, where Rey, Finn, Poe Dameron, Rose Tico and Chewbacca have gathered together to celebrate Life Day.
Now, Star Wars fans will finally have the chance to get an in-depth look at the behind-the-scenes story of how the Star Wars Holiday Special came to be with io9 bringing word that filmmaking duo Jeremy Coon and Steve Kozak are currently working on new documentary film about the special titled A Disturbance in the Force.
More than 40 years since the first-ever Star Wars Holiday Special had debuted on CBS in 1978, and despite the TV special’s infamous legacy, fans can’t seem to forget this unique piece of content within the sci-fi franchise.
