Star Wars Holiday Special SW Theme song with lyrics!

[Leftysfive93]

For some reason what she was singing made me think of "The Impossible Dream" from Man of La Mancha.

[alnwick1964]

FUCK!!!!!!!!! I saw this on TV and liked it back then...But now I FUCKING HATE IT!!!!!!!,Had to of been the most neuseating shown once only on TV .

[TheStarwarslover92]

I don't know why people say this sucks. I think it was great and she sang the song beautifully

[blindblueeye]

you all lack the force this song is the purest ballid of love my libra sister sung on perfect key and with a grace none of you clutzy commenters can ever dream of,i made it into an mp3,drath fiddler loves carrie.

[johnleejohnson]

@blindblueeye You made it into an MP3! LMAO!

[pentatonia]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you exhibit 1 in the case of why this isn't available ANYWHERE else... Oh the joy/evils of Youtube...

[wolfshadowism]

Chewbacca's expression at the end spoke volumes...

[marius478]

That was horrible.

[bronxmom]

off the charts on the 'cringeworthy & cheesy" scale..oofah

[TheHarmlessGuy]

heh, how high do you think they all were?

[schallrd1]

Leia could have sung this song to Jabba the Hut instead of strangling him to death.

[schallrd1]

Jedi Mind Tricks can't overcome the pain and suffering this had afflicted.

[3dartistguy]

Why didn't she sing this again at the end of Return of the Jedi?

[bigshu65]

coke is a hell of a drug

[KaiserJames]

Ah, Carrie Fisher and her golden Life Day voice. This takes me back. ;D

[luis6079]

A million mommy kisses can't erase what I just endured!

[giantsean]

Still unclear how they waited so long to introduce Bea Arthur to the Star Wars universe. Way to blow an opportunity George...

[hotpopcorncake]

-.- ..........O.O.......lulzz

[TheOJDrinker]

can't... stop... laughing... help... dying......

[BerraDude]

what is this??? lol

[TheBackOfTheBoat]

I found this difficult to masturbate to.

[charliesheenisgod]

all of the sudden phantom of menance isnt so bad

[arvbur09]

ohh noo.....what have i done......... = (

[sammycut1]

I'm still waiting for this to get the "Special Edition" treatment. Bring on the CGI!

[WaitingtoHit]

It occurs to me that there quite a lot of wookiee closeups in the Christmas special.

[taintedswift11]

HELP ME SANTA!

HELP ME JESUS CHRIST!

HELP ME...HELP ME...SANTA CHRIST!!!

[themutt2]

She was high as fuck when she did this.

[mattman228]

finally! what star wars is truly about *sigh*

[Malocosa]

A Drewish Princess singing Xmas songs to Wookies????

[sartistman1]

awful, simply awful.

[haisaid]

What the fuck?! EVERYONE knows the lyrics to the Star Wars is:

STAAAAR WAAAAARS!

STA-a-a-a-a-AAAAR WARS!

STA-a-a-a-a-AAAAR WARS!

STA-a-a-a Wars!

[EmGloss]

2:02 ....And that was the exact moment Carrie Fisher became bipolar.

[Umbereth]

@EmGloss ROFLMAO!

[DevonC90]

This is the first, and hopefully only time I have cringed while watching Star Wars. 

[MynameisElliott]

This was my favorite Star Wars movie!!! Thumbs up!

[CoryDambach]

What.

[Icestorm85]

Its Canon, not Cannon, mind you the film shown here should have been shot through a cannon.

[7567captainrex]

WAT THE FRIED CHICKEN

[ccc712]

This makes Phantom Menace look like Citizen Kane

[actorgarydouglas]

OH MY GOD THIS IS BAD.... It is so bad Skunks are now walking around holding their nose!.....

[Rilyn666]

oh dear god im glad i didnt see this wen i was younger

[Johnny3868]

This is what the Nazis saw when they opened up the Ark!

[Davey647Returns]

1:21

R2: Is this bitch for real?

[gaozhi2007]

Well, at least this is better than TPM.

[kbudz]

even R2D2 looks embarrassed to be there.

[bumfree]

What the fuck did I just watch

[pyrogyra72]

This special wouldn't have been so bad if it were more of an adventure than a variety show. At least the animated segment was cool.

[spinners123]

I love this man are you kidding its like the end of the newhart show han and leia wake up and it was all a dream!lol

[PresidentZod]

Carrie Fisher had to sing this shit wearing that hairdo?

No wonder she took to drugs and alchohol. They probably had to ply her with a bottle of vodka and a handful of ludes just to keep her from running away.

[PokerStarsIsSoRigged]

Carrie Fisher almost corpses @ 0:37

[matchbox555]

wow this is better than star wars

[edwardianeccentric]

I was just a little bit sick.

[vonijoe]

Make it stop, make it STOP!!!

[ilovemusic2258]

it's relly funny

[jacksonbauer1138]

I'm breaking to tears... I swear... I'm about to cry... I've been a Star Wars fan all my life and I think I don't like Star Wars anymore...

[cfamick]

That was excruciating to suffer through..

[CB900SS]

Oh dear.

[vivificat]

This was so HIDEOUS that it became a classic!

[firefly1056]

Oh memories. Harrison does look like he is thinking " get me outta here"

[Matrix29bear]

"LIFE DAY" -- Sweet. Then all of the cast will don white bodysuits with red flames, dirt-bike masks, and stand on the "Carousel" while the anti-gravity field kicks in and their floating bodies do an "artistic" dance and then they are all blasted into ionized plasma by UV pulsar lasers.

See, at 2:24 they are all heading to the carousel in nearly the proper outfits.

Search YOUTUBE for:

"logan's run carousel"

to understand

[stpetersburg]

god I need a line after seeing this

[tanatos5]

ummmm,,,,,, HAHAHAHAHA!!

[williamdouglasb]

Please let George Lucas finally release this to DVD! And hope his attorneys don't come after you. Happy Chrimbus, dude!

[bigredpony07]

There was also an EWOK Tv movie made several years later!

[nthomas32]

There was only one good thing about this travesty of a holiday special, that was Obi Wan Kinobi not showing up as the Spirit of Life Day Past!  THANK SANTA CHRIST FOR THAT!!!!

[B5guy]

LOL this was a holiday special, but not the only special they created I think there are 2 more special movies for TV they made.

[johnleejohnson]

@B5guy

Nope! It was the only one produced, and for good reason. The production values were too low, that's the official excuse. The real reason was not only were the production values low, but the network took Lucas's original concept, a side story set in the SW universe following Han and Chewie's adventure to return to Kashyyyk for Life Day, the Wookie Christmas, and turned it into a variety show. Imagine if Princess Leah had broke into song in Episode 4. Enough said!

[jcb231]

@johnleejohnson

Nope! They made two Ewok live action movies. Caravan of Courage and Battle for Endor.

[jcb231]

@B5guy

They made two Ewok movies that were given a limited theatrical release (in Europe I think) but were mostly just shown on television. There have also been four Star Wars TV cartoon series.....Ewoks, Droids, and two different Clone Wars series.

[johnleejohnson]

@jcb231 I never said they didn't make the Ewok movies. I said they only made ONE, 1 Holiday Special, this one. The Ewok movies you cite are NOT Holiday Specials, they are NOT Christmas (Life Day is the Wookie Christmas) themed variety shows.

What are you trying to prove? The Ewok movies you seem to like so much have nothing to do with this. They weren't made for the Holiday Season, they were TV series. Do a search for SW Holiday Special and read up on this before you comment.

[jcb231]

@johnleejohnson

I did read up on it just to double check what I already knew. The poster said "I think there are 2 more special movies for TV they made." Read his statement again and then my reply

Don't read anger into my post or whatever you're doing. The poster mentioned two move special movies....I'd consider the Ewok movies to be what he's thinking of. I never said they were any sort of holiday special and neither did the poster I replied to. Nor did I imply that I liked any of them.

[KronprinzAdam]

@B5guy There is a mockumentery "Return of the Ewok" (never broadcasted) and I think there is also another with r2d2...

[johnleejohnson]

@KronprinzAdam You're missing the point. You are talking about deliberate spoofs, and mockumentery. This WAS NOT and NEVER WAS intended to be a comedic spoof. This was intended to be a serious holiday themed story set in the Cannon SW universe in between the first and second film. It was never intended to be a train wreck of a variety show with low production values. Hence why Lucas hates it so much.

[KronprinzAdam]

@johnleejohnson It was intended to be serious!?!! :D Oh my god...

[johnleejohnson]

@KronprinzAdam George Lucas was furious with the finished product. He hadn't acquired enough clout at the time the Holiday Special was filmed to keep creative control over the project. Here's a quote from the man himself as to what he envisions for the future of this train wreck of a holiday special.

"If I had the time and a sledgehammer, I would track down every copy of that show (the Star Wars Holiday Special that aired on 11/17/78 on CBS) and smash it." -George Lucas

[athomicritics]

SAVE ME SANTA CHRIST !!!

[nthomas32]

@athomicritics Only Santa Christ can save us! He played bass for Aerosmith and still makes pancakes! He's AWSOME!!!

[14thOmega]

Carrie Fisher looks so fucking baked in this. I mean look at her eyes, talk about glassy.

[pyrogyra72]

@14thOmega in an interview, Fisher said she was hooked on Cocaine while doing Empire. Maybe she was on it while doing this special.

[14thOmega]

@pyrogyra72 I think she'd have to be singing this, but thanks for that info ;)

[Wonderxandra]

Not as good as her mom...

[SAOTUBE]

is chewie wearing a snuggie?

[MisanthropicLuv]

@SAOTUBE

aha aha buahahhahahahhaha

[awotnot]

holy wookie droppings baby

yeah man. cannon, meaning they should all be put inside a bloody big cannon and fired off into deep space 9. i believe that`s what george lucas has always wished from around 1 1 1978

and as for those wookies. imagine cleaning up one of their pats

BOOO

[sbdude101]

George Lucas stares at himself in the mirror just like those images of Chewbacca which they occasionally show (the deer in the headlights look).

[MutSol]

"If I had the time and a sledgehammer, I would track down every copy of that show (the Star Wars Holiday Special that aired on 11/17/78 on CBS) and smash it." -George Lucas

[pyrogyra72]

@MutSol He's so rich, he could hire an army of people with sledge hammers to find every existing copy and destroy them.

[Turand0t]

@vandimar77 Can you blame him? ;)

[altairzq]

What.. what is this...

[chinpokomon661]

wtf did i just see......this must be FAKE lol

[johnleejohnson]

@chinpokomon661 Sadly this is not FAKE lol. This did happen. It only aired once, and believe it or not, parts of this are considered cannon.

[Sithchris1]

@chinpokomon661 its not fake but every one wish it was when George Lucas made it even he said it sucked so yea

[joshmx28]

How did they get the actors to agree to this? If there are people in this world who can make people agree to doing shit like this why aren't they using their powers for good and ending wars?

[yokohamaman]

Harrison is about to puke!!!

[paulhulatt]

I've never seen so many Wookies in one place before.......it's a good job they're friendly.....

[Hunkola]

I heard this 1978 TV special almost single-handedly killed off the movie careers of Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher!

[GlennRoxWyo]

Give me a break

[lioneaglegriffin]

cocaine is a hell of a drug.

[MisanthropicLuv]

@lioneaglegriffin do you blame em for needin it, tho??

[lioneaglegriffin]

@MisanthropicLuv course i do, it is not the way of the jedi you use nose candy.

[BIGBMH]

wtf? why did this happen?

[Khultan]

 I feel so gutted.

[TRE1275]

I bet all the actors were talking about this shit when they were filming Empire

[MisanthropicLuv]

@TRE1275 they were coking each other up to create a false sense of happiness to avoid suicide.

[ralgarte]

Man.... this is UNBELIEVEBLY funny!! What was George Lucas thinking? And, yet, he treats the Star Wars saga as his golden baby. Everybody has a past to be ashamed of.

[jaybo197306]

WTF. I was a SW fan as a kid in the 70s and had all the figures etc. Never before have seen this LOL No wonder George buried it :)

[Peacekeeper76]

LOL, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawkward!

[livewire008]

I love how they close all these fond memories with Chewie remembering he didn't get a medal and cross fade into him blankly staring into the camera.

[evamarimo]

rofl...

but I don't get this - how is this the star wars theme song? ^^

and wth, are these wookies (chewie!!) in the red clothes?? XD

[johnleejohnson]

@evamarimo Listen to the melody the lyrics are being sung to, it definitely is the SW theme. Also, yes these are Wookies in the red robes. They didn't even bother to have the full Wookie costumes under the robes giving the robes a hilarious "slimming" effect. The low production values are the reason Lucas gave for why he hated the Holiday Special so much and why this will never be released on DVD/Blue Ray.

[evamarimo]

@johnleejohnson thankfully it's to be found in the galaxy of youtube xD

no. but i still don't get it, sorry. I can hear the theme in the background during the last part of the song but either poor carrie is singing really off-key or the rest of the song's melody is different ! xD the wookies are hilarious!!!

[johnleejohnson]

@evamarimo Read my description, I never said Opening theme. It always said theme. If you look at what YouTube added to this page, the itunes download link, it's officially called Throne Room End Title. An End Title is commonly called an Ending theme, as opposed to Opening Title which is commonly referred to as an opening theme.

[evamarimo]

@johnleejohnson I figured that out a long time ago, but thanks anyway.... ;-)

[Glides0295]

hahahaha that is the worst use of a theme song in history...

[SpeedRacerAZ]

Fisher was on so much coke when she did this she doesn't even remember doing the movie!

[boblazar2001]

Pay attention to Harrison Ford's face! He looks like if he would be grateful if an earthquake buried him alive...

[boblazar2001]

Oh my god! I remember! I saw it when I was 14 years old!!! I blocked this memory so deeply...Thanks god they did not created "Star Trek, The Wrath of Khan" Holliday special...

[johnleejohnson]

@boblazar2001 Imagine if they did just how gut ripping hilarious it would have been. They could have brought Khan and Spock bask in some asinine way and turned it into a musical and comedy to make it the ultimate "Star Wreck".

[joshmx28]

@boblazar2001 Wrath of Khan holiday special would actually kick ass....

[nathdb1812]

Muy bonito...que recuerdos

[Stopmotionist]

She is so high in this movie.

[TreasureBoxFilms]

This is amazing.

[forosnacos]

ita a shit

[RepublibotThreePoint]

Well, to be fair, she may legitimately not remember it. She was undoubtedly pretty coked up at the time.

I'm going to deny that this is 'so bad it's good', though. I think that kind of irony gets overused to the point where we can no longer just say "This sucks, and there's nothing redeeming in it."

I mean, really there's nothing good here, it's just an ocean of soul-sucking awfulness and despair in an embarasing hairdo

[Moredread25]

No wonder she denies any knowledge of the Hoiday Special. If I was her I would deny that I'd even appeard in it if I thought I could get away with it.

[DisneyFanReview]

This is the definition of "Sucktastic" it sucks so bad it's actually fantastic!!!

[parkerboyuk]

@DisneyFanReview nope, it just sucks. This is utter, complete shite. I watched Starship Troopers 3 the other day and that made me retch...this made my eyes and ears bleed. I feel dirty.

[ssjhook]

wha what what the hell is this dog i mean they dont have christmas in star wars oh who am i kidding dog they grow up so fast snif i think im goona crie dogs

[JoeChrisMorris]

This is horrible

Harrison Ford looks like hes in pain

[pyrogyra72]

@JoeChrisMorris You think he looks in pain here, you should have seen him on Conan O'Brian, when he had to see clips of this. He looked like he wanted to jump out a window.

[JoeChrisMorris]

@pyrogyra72 I'm still surprised there hasn't been a Special Edition of this put out on dvd by Lucas. Rather watch this than the Phantom Menace - MUCH more entertaining! I used to give out dvdr burns of this at Christmas to people!

[JerichoJames]

beautiful....

[johnleejohnson]

I don't think she even remembers singing this.

[outlanderfrog]

She actually still remembers all the words!

[bkev93]

@johnleejohnson She asked Lucas for a copy to show during a bad movie marathon... haha.

[johnleejohnson]

Did you know that the Star Wars Theme Song has lyrics? I didn't until I saw this!

[kadindarklord]

There is an unofficial version on Youtube, until I read Wookieepedia I didn't think there was one.
