Mark Hamill, for example, said that the debate was “the worst thing” he’d ever seen, adding “& I was in The Star Wars Holiday Special.”
This all amounts to some very impressive, if totally unintentional viral marketing for the new LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special, a spoof of the old holiday, er, classic, which will premiere on Disney+ on November 17.
Very similar jokes were made by others in entertainment, like Jeremy Slater, who wrote the disastrous 2015 reboot of Fantastic Four.
The Holiday Special, is perhaps the single most hated item in the entire Star Wars mythology — and given how large that mythology is (and how hated parts of it are), that’s really saying something.
