Harrison Ford's Finest Acting Moment

[Casarzino]

You're like.. family to me. :)

[Adre212]

fuckin creepy

[Tipotero]

chewie check the coast while i spend some quality time with your family

[slapmyfunkybass]

still better than the phatom menace

[zeta1ret]

i wanna pet chubaka!

[fleetr06]

DOES THAT SOUND LIKE THE KINDA GUY WHO WOULD SHOOT FIRST!?

[alynnidalar]

@fleetr06 You better believe it does.

[starwarstopmotion]

why did every1 hate this?!

[TobiasBoon1980]

They should do this with every movie

[Cherryblossoms13100]

I don't see air force one anywhere near this video! O wait, he was being sarcastic.

[AaronBGerschler]

Having seen the whole Star Wars Holiday Special I would have to say Harrison Ford's acting was head and shoulders above the rest of the cast and it's not hard to see why he went on to have a more successful career.

[masteriansun]

this shit sucks so bad george lucas didn't even need to add any new footage to make it even suckier

[kyuubiyura]

@masteriansun its not added,its a completely different movie,it was the christmas special,which sucked,yes

[masteriansun]

@kyuubiyura what i mean is, lucas didn't need to add anything to the christmas special, like new effects and stuff.

[kyuubiyura]

@masteriansun yup,especially ruining the han shot first scene

[schallrd1]

Lumpy's voice is changing and had hair growing in strange places...you know what that means.

[jymz13]

He got paid by the minute there.



[schallrd1]

Try having a meal at their house without having hair in your food.

[schallrd1]

Harrison wakes up at night with a cold sweat dreaming of his long lost Wookie family.

[DarthRushy]

I'd love a Holiday Special II which would introduce Jar Jar's family.

Fun SW facts:

*The name of Jar Jar's dad is canonically George Binks.

*An original scene in ROTJ had Boba Fett and Wicket battle on the Death Star II.

*The script created before the final script of Episode IV had Greedo shoot first.

[wolfdwarf]

@DarthRushy

HAN SHOT FIRST!

no matter what happened after or before or during.

Han shot first, goddamn it!

I have the original VHS's I went frame thru frame Han Shot first no question! no discussion!

[DarthRushy]

@wolfdwarf *holding back laughter* Sorry, Greedo shot first(personally, I think Han did it, but canonically it's Greedo).

[mikishinnoaikousha]

Beautiful! <3

[FarahRose9]

I feel like if I took acid and then watched Star Wars and The Wizard of Oz back to back, this is the subsequent hallucination I would have.

[kmce]

What the hell was that

[TzeffNL]

Harrison is GREAT!

[dorkagejunkee]

I just died.

LMFAO.

[2012Obamasucks]

I never knew han and chewier were gay!?!?!

[TzeffNL]

@2012Obamasucks You idiot! Two GOOD FRIENDS giving each other a MANLY HUG doesn't mean they are gay! You youngsters nowadays don't know anything than talk about sex, gay, boobs and babes. I bet if your BEST friend (if you have ANY!) dies, even if it's a dog (or a wookie!), you WOULD CRY! Sadness is part of HUMAN EMOTIONS! Would you be gay if you CRY when your mother/father/girlfriend/dog dies??? How can that be gay!?

[imortal22]

@TzeffNL sounds like you need a hug, no homo.. 

[TzeffNL]

@imortal22 Now, don't you get mushy on me, buddy...! :-)

[BladeStrike]

I want my money, George!

[Labzo441]

Lol it's awful but he gave his all

[etruiii]

Wow...



[gracebaileyfan]

What crap!

[CitrusCarpetMan]

Have a happy Life Day, all.

[SebiStudios2]

What the fuck?

[Atlasfilms08]

At 1:03 Harrison Ford is thinking "What the hell is that thing?"

[HeathenSaxon]

515 nerf herders

[HeathenSaxon]

shit..I feel like my wretched life is now complete, thanks to this piece of shi--er...great TV magic......

[marcd30319]

It's a big foot convention!

[Captmiloman]

I'll take this over that Twilight shit anyday.

[videogamenostalgia]

0:56-1:02 no homo

[gingerninja79]

Oh god!! hahahaha I was expecting the muppets to jump out and break into song!

[HeathenSaxon]

@gingerninja79 I wish they fuckin well did.

[DrunkenPoetic]

Shows how bad Star Wars could've been it it wasn't handled so well.

[EuphrasieF]

@DrunkenPoetic

If you really want to see "how Star Wars could have been", look up some of the audition tapes. During the audition process, they were using a radically different script.

[OculusMachi]

MY MIND

[ImmaSigner]

Did i miss something?

[DrazeLezard]

It's a little baby sas.

[TakeABreakGetBaked]

chubacas are fuckin annoying

[MrFlyingSnakes]

@TakeABreakGetBaked Troll fail.

[mikethe4th]

I feel like I'm watching a Christmas special.

[MrSmashman1981]

I can see why this got cut from the movie

[VIDEOTIMEMACHINE]

The acting is this is no worse then the Star Wars Movies to be honest

[mlgp7223]

... can i get this on dvd? <3

[mefpazur]

No more hugs, P-L-E-A-S-E!

[genericutubechannel]

wow it really is terrible..

[gspendlove]

0:02 I'm pretty sure that's where Harrison's back problems started, lifting up Lumpy like that.

[awwwyeaboyeeee]

I'm crying.

[satidog]

Thanks for bringing back a childhood trauma.



[DuracellEnergizer]

The Holiday Special = more canon than the PT.

[MemoryOfMiles]

OMG! Really??

[rocklee302]

like...tears in rain...

[JoystixMusic]

Wow, ive never seen this!!

[glynamus]

I THREW UP WHEN I FIRST WATCHED THIS CRAP AND NOW AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, IT STILL TURNS MY STOMICH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­! lucus you are an arse to put these actors through this. pffft@!

[TheRealCarlyndra]

@glynamus Can't tell if trolling or serious.

[glynamus]

@TheRealCarlyndra i mean it. im serious. this was a special they did for tv and i was shocked when i saw how silly it was. just got worse as the show went on. Carrie Fisher made comment about it when she was on a talk show and they played it for her. she couldnt even stand looking at the short clip.

[mike649fox]

I wouldn't have been suprised to see vader walk in, hang his helmet on the coat stand and share a group hug with them. Seriously......WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!?!

[MrCaporegime]

Han Solo

Princess Leia

Grand Moff Tarkin

Jabba the Hut

Boba Fett

Luke Skywalker

LUMPY!!!!

[bobivd6688]

OMG not the Holiday Special! NOOO! Never again!

[cuerpoeperra]

It´s a weird kind of Mc Donalds commercial?

[MrGrevy]

Didn't Lumpy get murdered in one of the video games??

[ieetemos4breakfast]

holy shit, no wonder this only aired once!!!

[darksorcerermusic]

i wonder if chewie has hairy balls?

[diefortacos]

Hey hey HEY! It's quite hard enough trying to carry a scene as bittersweet and poignant as this while being the only character with dialogue, simultaneously translating three different characters' bear-talk into human for your benefit, audience member, thank you very much! Also, he was probably on weed or crack and/or everything in between in order to keep some balance between functioning as a proper human being and staying true to the multi-faceted Han Solo character, by now such a cypher that

[diefortacos]

@diefortacos Keanu is now being cosidered for the 2013 scheduled remake. What a trooper!

[TheAwakenedHeretic]

Fuck you Lumpy.

[transfan1988]

Well... we should be thankful Harrison Ford didn´t killed himself right after wrapping up that scene.

[snesoey]

noooo!!

[Glory2Eva]

I can now die happy

[MyHeadAsplodes]

LMAO right before leaving he looks right into the eyes of Chewie's wife and then looks down to the kid as if he knew he was the father.

[burtonrules123]

but this is hilarious! how could anyone NOT enjoy the sheer campy child-friendly quality of this special? its just so funny, should be looked back at with fondness not hate! lucas must take himself way too seriously. sure its not that great but cmon, like his prequels were masterpieces, pfft.

[darkknight07100]

Better performance than in Blade Runner!

[graciousSenor]

Wait, is this comedy? I'm really hoping so for the namesake of the actual Trilogy.

[akeel456]

@graciousSenor It was entirely serious.

[graciousSenor]

@akeel456 And George L.? How could someone who produced something so clever go and do this?

[akeel456]

@graciousSenor George Lucas had little to no say in the production of this. He just gave the go ahead to a seperate studio and then regretted the result. Hence, the lack of DVD release or re-airs.

[graciousSenor]

@akeel456 Well that's a relief. Even still, for Star Wars to be associated with this..

[akeel456]

@graciousSenor ;p

[Draknfyre]

@akeel456

There was more than just a lack of DVD release. He had all remaining copies of this pulled and destroyed. So finding an original copy of it on tape is very rare.

[akeel456]

@Draknfyre Well, shit, that's a reasonable reaction I suppose.

[knowpassword]

Uh shouldn't they get rid of the evidence at the bottom of the tree..

[ckrm55]

so in the past episode 3...they kill how many wookies?

and this is the future of wookie race......they should have killed more...good god!

[DarthRushy]

@ckrm55 In Episode III, Kashyyk was a technologically advanced race with holograms and ships and things and they end up like THIS?!

[wolfdwarf]

starwars.wikiacom/wiki/Kashyyy­k

Kashyyyk is a planet.

The wookies are a race.

They are advanced-ish. They have all the tech-shit but they still live in trees. Technology was sorta pushed on em'...

[highlander38]

OMG... this could have killed the entire franchise! AArrrgh! What crap! Han would not have acted like that!! We must sponge this and its memory from all of human history!!!

[DarkHollow623]

I love how the wookie's TALK! Awesome. ''Huuugh!'' ''Awogh!''

[chiliwilli04]

1:05 EW ... kill it!



[MrKennyKRH]

what is is this shit?! o.O

[MrTravisofthecosmos]

I love it. Harrison Ford has that "I'm getting paid for this, right?" look through the whole thing.

[BorgKing001]

WTF is this

[pvigil1995]

@BorgKing001 It's from the Star Wars Holiday Special, aired only once in 1978, never aired or officially released again due to its dismal quality, its up on youtube right now :(

[cky283]

Lifeday will always remind me of Star Wars Galaxies

[Kramiour]

God dammit at least he tried.

[TheKingOfRuckus]

I know Harrison Ford was off-camera like "What the FUCK is this garbage? You ever make me do this again, I'll KILL ya! I'll fuckin' KILL YOU!"

[HudsonAO8TQ1]

OH. MY. GOD.

im glad ive never seen the whole thing. what the actual fuck???

[DarkHollow623]

@HudsonAO8TQ1 I watched it all it's AWESOME!!!!!!!!! Watched it with two of my friends we LOVED it!

[bogardesbar]

They should've made an Ewok special after this too...

[MrTravisofthecosmos]

@bogardesbar They did. They had a couple of Ewok movies in the 80's.

[bogardesbar]

This is surely got to be one of the biggest piles of garbage to have ever been broadcast on tv. An utter utter joke!!! How Harrison Ford could keep a straight face I do not know!

[ThndrMadMaxd]

what is this clip from?

[LobsterPotsticker]

@ThndrMadMaxd starwars christmas special

[ValinKrai]

@LobsterPotsticker It was the Holiday Special, specifically for Thanksgiving.

[gcsmoofy]

Flaged for animal abuse.

[DethariusX]

I'm also fairly certain that Chewie from 0:23-0:24 and 0:50-0:52. Either that or they did a shitty job chroma keying.

[DethariusX]

Seems like he phoned this one in

[Cokecakepopcorn]

How do you unsee something?

[Noobsaibot21]

@Cokecakepopcorn

Even before I scrolled down and saw your comment, I was about to say that. I'm so devastated that I clicked onto this video. Hopefully, copious amounts of Alcohol might help me forget.

[KraytRemix]

Every actor has done that one thing that they wish no has ever, or would ever see..If I ever met Harrison, I think I'd hand him an 8X10 of this to sign :P

[toonzguy]

George Lucas reportedly HATED this...i think it's actually kinda cool...

[Richo5566]

I watched this in 1980 when I was 6 or 7. I think it was put on in Australia just before The Empire Strikes Back was released at the cinema. I remember enjoying it at the time simply because it was something "Star Wars". Now I'm older I realize how corny it is, but it was made for young kids. They could have come up with better names for Chewie's family!

[Songsmirth]

@Richo5566 I must have seen this somewhere too and thought for years that I must have dreamed it because when our kids got old enough to have their own copies, I didn't see it in the films I watched with them. Now, I know I'm not mad!! lol Thank thx. You've solved a 30 year old mystery for me!!

[ZAMPAROAD]

the acting is better

[TheCreator894]

@xIJAx the star wars holiday special

[Spanner50]

1:05 Hahahaha!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

I can now die.

[Trancemaster2052]

I wouldn't wish this garbage on my worst enemy.

[MCMcKinley]

I got a copy of this from Bryan Singer

[Jammed9000]

@MCMcKinley

Bryan Singer gave you a copy of this? WTF

[gsaum]

Poor Harrison.

[rallbart]

where are the "holiday special" action figures!!!

I wish the son of han and chewie!!!

[666xb]

love this. ;_;

[WrathofVishnu]

Well, I'd prefer this over Ewan McGregor meeting the family of Jar Jar Binks.

[ibanezguitarplayer88]

What the fuck!!! Hhahaha

[darthmaul33]

@ 00:51 Chewbacca's like "LET'S. GO."

[PaintVidz]

ROFL! This is the gayest thing I've ever seen! How did he do this without laughing his butt off?!

[NYRADFilms]

Lumpy sounds like a Tauntaun!

[DanteCubit3000]

Is there any wonder why Lucas wanted every copy of this Special to be burned?

[Kaagh178]

All through his scenes in this horrendous special (especially the Life Day song sung by Carrie Fisher) I bet Harrison was thinking: 'Think of the money, think of the money, think of the money' over and over again in his head. The only two good things in this special were his evident embarassment and the cartoon segment that introduced Boba Fett.

[jinxtigr]

Hey, it IS perhaps his most impressive moment- he's almost convincing, even though he has worse than nothing to work with! You can't even feel the hate. I vote yes, it is Great Acting. Poor guy.

[stebbi94]

Directed by M. Night Shammalammadingdong.

[myballwall]

What is this? ... and who are the monkeys????

[joshwashposh]

can someone please tell me what just happened?

[jeremyawesomebot]

@joshwashposh the starwars thanksgiving special of 1978 i think

[knowpassword]

"Chewie check to see if the coast is clear while i spend quality screen time with YOUR family"..

[Goodfella4815]

@knowpassword Oh man, I never laughed so hard at a youtube comment XD

[Goodfella4815]

@knowpassword Oh man, I never laughed so hard at a youtube comment XD

[zilverwing]

HEY!!! this was amazing! why they hate hollyday special? at least better than episode 1 !!!

[LEGOIndy333]

Wow. That was weird. I am a fan of Harrison but... BOOOOOOO!

[elocrellim]

What is this from?

[Ganman33]

@elocrellim The holiday special.

This was independently done by another network. Lucas HATES it.

[elocrellim]

@Ganman33 How was allowed. Didn't Lucas keep all the licensing rights and copyrights? How were they able to make this without litigation against them?

[Ganman33]

@elocrellim Nah. Lucas allowed the actors to go off and make it. He said later that he considered it an oversight though.

[avcaws]

is this why Harrison doesn't like Star Wars? I can see why

[loveallthepeople1000]

peter jackson rocks!

[xxxOrcaman4xxx]

@loveallthepeople1000 Peter Jackson?

[020ray]

what the fuk is this...is this star wars?????

[sammycut1]

I'm still waiting for the Special Edition with CGI wookies. :)

[AkiBergSucksAss]

lumpy is such a fucker.

[Longi1974]

1:05 - 1:07 - LOLOLOLOL!!!!

[anuenuexx]

@Longi1974 omg im crying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[veshengri]

Ok, I was 12 when this came on TV. Even as a kid I knew this sucked balls, and it killed my Star Wars fandom. I was embarrassed for the people in it. It was painful and disappointing.

[hcvang]

I dont understand grown men of 35+ thinking every piece of entertainment produced is for their age group alone, for them alone, etc. It makes me puke.

There is nothing wrong with the christmas special - it was made for kids, for fucks sake - not grumpy, disillusioned, jaded adults who feel unfulfilled in their daily lives.

I fucking loved it as a little boy, and I know that kids still do. So it doesn't really matter what adults think.

[THEDARCYSHOW]

this spits in the face of the whole star wars saga

[SaintBoot7]

this was awesome, was this supposed to be in the movie, or was it a one shot thing?

[taeteck]

@SaintBoot7 It's from the Star Wars Hollyday Special, i think they aired just one time becouse they was emabrrased.

[martymcguinness]

think this was take 239, took 238 to clear Harrison's laughter.

[breeeegs]

poor lumpy

[Novelboy2112]

What is this?

[THEBLACKBELT]

@Novelboy2112 It's a disgrace! LOL.

[gunnybanda]

So now theres a dead body at the foot of the tree where they live and that's ok now?

[CaptainJess1994]

I think i gotta throwup

[AphoticCosmos]

Almost as good as Blade Runner. A true masterpiece.

[Revolution15now]

that was creepy...

[samrayiii]

WTH! was that look @ 0:59

[P00PD0G89]

@samrayiii a look of lust according to Conan during his interview with Harrison awhile back. lol

Not an easy scene to pull off, acting against a bunch of mascots wh
