I love Star Wars, but this holiday special is just awful. I knew of its notorious reputation even before watching it, but I did not expect something this bad. Even for Star Wars, or even a special, this is a disgrace.
First off, the special does not even look very good. The way it is shot, the way the effects are executed, it looked dull and rushed. And I didn't care for the animation either, some of it was quite shoddy. The music did nothing for me either, and I hated that god-awful ending song. The special is also very poorly paced, I sometimes found myself looking at my watch.
That's not all. The writing is horrible. Lucas has never been an expert at writing good dialogue, but some of it here is so cheesy and forced it is painful. The story is very predictable and badly structured, complete with annoying characters especially the Wookies(they actually give Jar Jar a run for his money), poor direction and badly thought out scenes. The acting is pretty terrible really, with everybody giving possibly their career-worst performances.
Overall, a nightmare of a special and best avoided. I guess I liked the scene when the bar closes down, but really that's it. 1/10 Bethany Cox
