I saw it myself a couple of years ago, and bloody diabolical it was too! I no longer have a copy, but here's a couple of links with info and screen captures.

God this is dire, I've only watched the first 5 minutes and 3 of those consist of wookies growling at each other. Mind you it's still more enjoyable than The Phantom Menace.

It gets worse Matt, don't watch it all in one go, take regular breaks, and if possible, alcohol.

Matt · 25 July, 2003, 04:47:54 PM

Too late. Jesus I knew Lucas was schmaltzy but this is laid on with a shovel. Worst line so far "It was made all by herself. By hand. Solo" Right the imperial guards will never see through that one.

paulvonscott · 25 July, 2003, 04:52:41 PM

Matt, on the credits I didn't see Lucas' name once. Maybe that's why he hates it so much.

The cartoon rocks though!

Matt · 25 July, 2003, 05:05:42 PM

I've got to watch until the credits? Noooooooo!

Nah, the best bit is the Christmas song to the tune of the Star Wars theme... that rocks that does...

Ah, yes the fabled Doomlord mask. That joke shop on Brighton Pier was selling 'em years back.

Generally Contrary · 25 July, 2003, 07:14:40 PM

I really, really need to see this. This sounds too bad to be true.

La Mer · 25 July, 2003, 07:57:09 PM

still have nightmares abou this..... its nearly as bad as ewoks - caravan of courage....

satchmo · 26 July, 2003, 11:03:12 PM

I saw it recently, I knew how bad it was likely to be but i had to see it with my own eyes. Its unspeakably awful,not even in a good way.The section with Bea Arthur feels longer than Return of The Jedi.The acting by the Imperial stooges who search Chewie's dads house is hysterical.
The cartoon is the only good bit.
