Comments on: George Lucas is Citizen Kane http://www.overthinkingit.com/2008/10/24/george-lucas-is-citizen-kane/ Overthinking It subjects the popular culture to a level of scrutiny it probably doesn't deserve.

Sick.

People who have the script memorized and a basement full of miniatures type fans. Whether he cares what the non-fanatic audience thinks is an open question.

It's pretty astoundingly bad. Poor Harrison Ford. Hell, I feel sorry for Bea Authur. One good thing did come of it, though: the introduction of a certain fan-favorite bounty hunter. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rtPmPDrWjY Yeah, I’m sorry about that. It’s pretty astoundingly bad.

It's inconsolable. I would ask why I had never heard of the holiday special before, but I think I already know the answer. Lucas needs to just be stabbed in the heart with a spoon.

It makes it easier to get through the day. Also, on the topic of bizarre non-topical sci-fi cast projects, check out the cast list of this other unlikely Christmas special: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096009/fullcredits#cast Yep, that's Sisco, Janeway, LaForge, Tuvac, and I believe a few additional guest stars all shoehorned in there. It's like an episode of Gargoyles! I like to think about the Star Wars Holiday Special as a really bad spin-off of _Maude_.
