    Funny story: Carrie Fisher once said she has her own personal copy and that when she wants people to leave her house she'll just pop it in and press play.

      I have actually heard and seen reactions to this holiday special. Harrison Ford compares it to the Vietnam war in the sense that it was so horrible that he doesn't NEED to watch it, he was THERE! Anthony Daniels panicked when it was mentioned in an interview, and admitted that he owned a copy of the screenplay that he can't even read because he just knew how bad it was. George Lucas has said he'd personally destroy every copy in existence if he could. Just a bit of trivia.

      @Emilio Manuel De Pedro, the special effects, acting and technical “achievement” is so good is because Disney is a multi-billion dollar company, so that should not really count. What really matters is plot and character development, not how much flashy CGI you can fit in one scene.

    If no one has adressed it, at 10:14 there NC, Wookies can understand Galactic Basic just fine but their vocal cords are unable to produce the sounds capable of speaking it. On the other hand, a Wookie "roar" as a lot of higher and lower frequency sounds that are out of range for a human to catch, so they sound the same to us but subtle inflections can mean a world of difference.

      +Nate J. When wookies speak to other wookies, they use the full range of frequencies. When they speak to non-wookies they use a simplified variation. Just look it up in the wikipedia, it's pretty much filled in from various sources of the extended universe.

The otger thing is, if you read the actual script for this masterpiece, tge Wookiees actually have lines. Only thing is there are nosubtutles at all.

      Yeah at least the prequels was entertaining whether or not if it’s the war or whatever that’s at least more entertaining than the everyday life of a Wookiee
