Him: "I've never seen Star Wars!" Me: "I need to stop being surprised when it comes to what you've not seen."

Me: "Oh boy! Duck is watching a Star Wars movie!! I wonder what it will be- oh no. No. Oh God no! *NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!*"

"Is on Han Solo a jedi?" No, at this point, Luke was the only Jedi left not counting a retired Yoda. If you want to get technical, Ahsoka and Grogu too, but the original trilogy was made before they were even concepts.

9:56 - "Are they putting Grandpa down?" No... They're getting Grandpa up. XD

"This is my first Star Wars movie interaction." I'm so sorry

If you crave more of Santa Christ and his Christmas miracles, look no further than the reviews of Chistmas Story 2, Home Alone 2, and Christmas with the Kranks!

Please do "Dear Santa - The Cinema Snob & The Nostalgia Critic" Next Week

How can someone hate musicals they're amazing

- "Bedrock" is the town in the Flintstones - This was the 1st appearance of Santa Christ - Rapsittie Street Kids Believe in Santa. An animated Christmas movie arguably worse than The Christmas Tree

18:50 I will say, having watched this particular scene (and literally no other part of the special) the Empire wasn't closing down that cantina specifically, it was imposing a planet wide curfew, so the cantina was only being closed for the night.

If you want to understand Big-Lipped Alligator Moment, you'll have to see his FernGully review. Not a Christmas-themed one, so feel free to put it on the back burner until after December.

More information regarding the Holiday Special -It's partially canon. The Boba Fett segment is canon, seeing as how it's the only part Disney's willing to release to the public. Also, Disney kept Life Day canon as well as Chewbacca's family. Not sure if Bea Arthur alien bartender is canon, though. -The Holiday Special is only out of the ordinary in that it's a Star Wars project. These kinds of variety shows were very common from television's inception to about the early 1980s. The idea was that since most households at the time had just one TV, they could have a show with all sorts of things to appeal to every possible demographic, which is why the Holiday Special goes from weird circus troupe to cooking segment to VR porn. I have to imagine this was the modus operandi behind getting a lot of classic TV stars on, so they could get older people who don't care about Star Wars to watch. Actually, The Holiday Special is probably one of the main reasons why the variety show format died (alongside another terrible show called "Pink Lady and Jeff.") -The reason behind Luke's "Ken Doll" look has never been fully explained but the reason most believe is that he used extensive makeup to hide the fact he was recovering from a serious facial injury he suffered right before the first Star Wars came out. -8:51 Art Carney was a famous actor from the early days of TV. His most prolific role was as Ed Norton from the sitcom "The Honeymooners." Doug's line about double-checking to make sure it was him was a reference to his review of "The Last Action Hero" where the original upload mistakenly referred to another actor (Robert Prosky) as Art Carney. Apparently, he caught the mistake before it came out and corrected it but his channel manager uploaded the wrong version. -The animated segment was done by a company called Nelvana. They're still around today and have done an absolute ton of cartoons. They were involved in, among other things, Magic School Bus, Inspector Gadget, Beetlejuice: The Animated Series, Donkey Kong Country and Pelswick, and were the international distributors of the first 5 seasons of The Fairly Oddparents. The visual style was inspired by French comic book artist Jean "Moebius" Giraud, of whom George Lucas was a huge fan. Most cyberpunk anime and movies take at least some inspiration from Moebius, but it doesn't seem that Nelvana were well-equipped to put it into motion. This did not stop Lucas from entrusting them with two Star Wars animated series in the 80s, one about C-3PO and R2-D2 and another one about the Ewoks.

From what Mark Hamill said in an interview, the reason George Lucas made the holiday special was to keep the merchandising fresh in people's minds, stating that it was a favor to George from the merchandisers which I get, Star Wars was just starting to be a franchise at the time, but there should have been rewrites for this.

Bea Author is one of the Golden Girls.

Oh, Duck... I'm so sorry. The first six movies are better than this, I promise. I'm so, so sorry. On that note, Santa Christ! You remember him from Son of the Mask! At some point, you should check out the Top 12 Santa Clauses video; I think you'll like it!

While I’m still going to request the Rapsittie Street Kids review, one other video you could watch is NC’s review on the Polar Express, since I know you like that movie, & it’d be a nice pallet cleanser from this.

B.(Beatrice) Arthur is one of the Golden Girls. An 80's/90's sitcom featuring aging women that was very clever and smart in both writing and comedic timing. She also was Maude from My Cousin Maude, a spin off series of All In The Family, a break through comedy series that broke the mold in television comedy. Think Married With Children with a 60's - 70's political flare.

Congrats everybody, you all scared him away from anything Star Wars with the one project in which George Lucas hatred is only rivaled by the Disney trilogy.

This equates to Wookie channel-surfing while they wait for Chewbacca to come home. They watch a circus-event, the Food Network, MTV, Cartoon Network, DiY, and TLC.

You poor soul No one deserves having the holiday special be their very first Star Wars experience

Actually it is a holiday special. Wookie Life Day.

Crazy to think that this special came out the same year as _Grease_ , a movie set 20 years prior, yet somehow that movie looks timeless by comparison.

The Mandalorian makes a couple of nods to this holiday special. Basically Mando is originally outfitted as Boba Fett in the cartoon segment and there’s a mention to Life Day. Either way, the audacity to reference this was a little meta!

Also, Harvey Corman was a part of the ensemble of The Carol Burnette Show. I highly reco.mend all of these shows for a good laugh and smart writing.

Why for the Love of the Force Did you react to this first ? Its Universaly hated by everyone ! Even George Lucas (the Creator of Star Wars)! He literally said that he would destroy every Single Copy of this Special if he had enough Time and a Hammer

You should watch the Rifftrax version of the commercials that were shown during this special... Or the entire special with the commercials being mocked by them

Jingle All the Way or Ernest Saves Christmas next.

React to Nostalgia Critic's review of Christmas With the Kranks and Rhapsody Street Kids Believe In Santa

Did you know the actor for Luke Skywalker in this special plays the Joker in the 1990s Batman animated series

A friend picked up this special on a nth generation video tape years ago. The best part of it was whomever bootlegged it added a bunch of vintage Star Wars toy commercials after the special itself. IIRC, Disney brought Life Day back last year with a Lego Star Wars Christmas Special, with significantly less wookiees.

The only good part of this holiday special was the first appearance of Boba Fett. But, by god is that an awesome first appearance. 😁

James earl jones is actually 91 years old today

Art Carny was on the Honeymooners. Think Rosanne set during the great depression New York and with no kids

"Good thing I'm the leader of the club that's made for you and me." That's referencing a line from the opening theme to the Mickey Mouse Club, a variety show from the 50's that's been redone a few times (Leia's hair reminded Doug of Mickey's ears in that shot). The early 90's iteration of the show included pre-career Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Ryan Gosling

So this was the first appearance of Santa Christ.

Amazing video! Like always, btw Animation vs Minecraft Episode 30 is out, It's 32 minutes long!!!

12:50 - Imagin how Lucas felt when he saw it ...

James Earl Jones is still alive, 91, and recently was in Coming to America II and done voice work.

Apparently there’s only 2 physical copies of the special 1 is buried in a desert and the other he gave the Carrie Fisher so she can get guests out faster. Also the movies aren’t like this and are better even the worse one is better and you should definitely react to them.

At least you can take solace in the fact that I, a long-time Star Wars fan, have never seen the special either and suffered about as much as you going through this. I'm so terribly sorry this was your first experience with a Star Wars movie, words can't describe just how much I pity you for having had to sit through this. Worst part is, they actually ended up acknowledging life day in other Star Wars media, technically making this steaming pile of garbage part of actual Star Wars "lore".

Wow. Up until I saw this holiday special, I thought that perhaps the worst TV shows of the 1970s were the "Brady Bunch Hour" or perhaps "Pink Lady and Jeff", but "The Star Wars Holiday Special" is at least as bad...possibly worse😅

Let me just say, not a great start for getting into Star Wars

Duck "this is my first Star Wars movie interaction" Me a 21 year old who's been a Star Wars fan since age 4 "Oh you poor soul, Well at least you didn't watch the full holiday special"

Please someone request the Rapsittie Street Kids Believe In Santa Nostalgia Critic video, it's one of my favorites!

Put Home Alone Games by Jontron on the list for a Christmas Eve Video xD Jontron did a few x-mas ones but that's the best.

Next one I would watch is Eight Crazy Nights.

Mark Hamill (Luke) looks odd because of all the makeup and wig due to the car accident he was in. That is why he has facial scars on Empire.

Kashyyk (the Wookie planet) appears several more times during the canon series, and we never see the tree houses during those times. I actually liked this moments, because I never once thought of the goddamn Holiday Special at any point.

I think it would awesome to see Kyle (and maybe Kirby) watch Star Wars at some point.

"Are they putting Grandpa down?" No, they're getting him up.

“You’ve taken your first step into a larger world”… and that step is at the lower rung. Thankfully it gave us the first appearance of Boba Fett, but that’s the only merit I can grant it. And oh yes who can forget Santa Christ!❤

You want another worst Christmas special? You've seen the worst live-action Christmas special review (Nutcracker in 3D). You've seen the worst 2D animated Christmas special review (The Christmas Tree). Now, get ready for the worst 3D animated Christmas special; Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe in Santa. Your eyes will BLEED

7:25 Kyle's ex-girlfriend 23:26 You just haven't seen the right ones I'm glad this could be your first Star Wars

WHY WOULD YOU POISON YOUR FIRST STAR WARS LIKE THIS. WHY.

From what I’ve heard mark hamill the actor who plays luke skywalker was in a nasty car accident that really banged up his face shortly before this was filmed so they had to really cake the makeup on him a particular sequence in the beginning of star wars episode V (the second film in the original trilogy don’t really wanna get into that now) the empire strikes back was also hastily written to accommodate for this

What the f**k were they thinking when they made this mess?!

Mark hamill was in a car accident before shooting do you da was always special like god his self wanted to spare him ps si only the cartoon is on Disney + thanks God for that

Check out the resent Lego Star Wars Christmas special as antidote to this one Infinitely better

Bedrock was the name of the town the Flintstones is set in.

In the Star Wars Holiday Special, we watch Wookie porn.

so duck after watching this video, would you watch all the star wars movies

They skipped over the ending. Chewie has flash backs from the movie. Then the family (minus the grandpa?) Is sitting around the table holding hands, in a very calm setting.

James Earl Jones is still alive.

If you do watch Jontron's video on it, you have to watch he's series on all the Star Wars games leading up to it. If jump to the end, it won't make sense.

Oh, and George Lucas said he would burn every copy if he could and sometimes represses it from his memory. It's like the ET video game.

If you're watching Nostalgia critic christmas videos, then may i suggest you watch his review on Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe in Santa, as it is said to be the Food Fight of christmas special.

I didn't know they released the special on Disney+ I know they released a Lego Special that was a lot more fun

does pg mean anything anymore nostalgia critic

The entier thing is on youtube. It is pretty epic.

I’m so sorry this was your introduction to Star Wars… so, so sorry.

Lol Best thing ever! "Are they putting grandpa down!" funny as hell! I love it!

Actually James earl jones is still alive

Good luck, your gonna need it for this movie

I've never seen this... I've only heard the rumors... I hoped it wasn't that bad... I was mistaken.

This is your first Star Wars movie interaction, is it? That's unfortunate...because the original trilogy of Episode IV: A New Hope, Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, and Episode VI: Return of the Jedi are cinematic classics! You're missing out from not having seen those movies. Feel free to skip the other six movies if you like; you're not really missing much. Just my humble opinion as a Star Wars superfan. But yeah, I actually decided to watch the Star Wars Holiday Special on KZfaq, and it is DEFINITELY as bad as Doug says it is. Update: Wait, this is on Disney+ now?!! Why?! No one actually likes this holiday special!! Everyone just watches it ironically to cringe over how terrible it is! No one actually enjoys this! I'm really sorry this is your first exposure to Star Wars, Duck.

You HAVE to watch JonTron's video on it now.

Day 93 of asking if you can please react to "PROP HUNT IN REAL LIFE" by Couch Cast?

How the bloody heck is the score that high…

You finally watched this video. 😃😃😃😃😭😭😭😭😭

bro why would THIS be the first thing you expose yourself to with Star Wars? Watch A New Hope. then Empire Strikes back. then Return of the Jedi. then the Phantom Menace, and so on and so forth (you can figure it out from there)

Do you mean Freezea Day?

Yup, I too hate Musicals. They pretty much offer nothing but repetitive and boring, well... everything. Story, Characters, Songs, need I Comment more?

Also recommendation: Watch his review of "The most Insane Christmas Romcom Ever". It's worth it.

28:51: react to Nostalgia Critic's review of Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe in Santa.

Don't let this sour you on Star Wars too much. There is a reason no one has ever put this out there again. This abomination has basically nothing to do with the actual movies. "Why is this even in there"/ "I don't know what is going on here" are the phrases that sums up the entire special. This thing clearly skipped lunch and provided the cast LSD instead. I doubt anyone will send it to you. The only reason anyone can watch it now is because some people taped it onto VHS the one and only time it aired. *Oh, its on DisneyPlus, I don't think it was when he first did this. DO NOT WATCH* If you are going to do Nostalgia Christmas stuff, there is also a He-Man Christmas special.

Yeah the Holiday Special is REALLY shit. It's BY FAR the worst piece of Star Wars content ever made, in technical and story qualities. But it's also hilariously funny, I'd recommend watching it at least once, preferably with friends and under the influence of alchool.

Star Wars Christmas? Not what I’d have recommended. Also you and Kirby should watch Dragonball sometime. Humor was different than and like many shows wouldn’t fly now. Even if they’d still be good.

I am so sorry this was your first starwars… at least it can’t get worse from here…

Only good about this movie was the cartoon sequence and the commericals I have seen this movie 15 times and on Christmas Day ❤

The Christmas Special 🤮🤮🤮🤮

I say this as a fan of star wars, there are way better star wars things you could watch guaranteed the newer films as bad as they are, are better than this trust me.

You picked this of all things to be your f- *throws arms up and rolls eyes* You know what? No. I am not saying anything.

As a Star Wars diehard, I'm sorry and may God have mercy on your wretched soul. Know that this is by far the worst Star Wars has ever produced.

Please react to Nostalgia Critic Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe in Santa.

I couldn't stop laughing as you watched this... It is the worst of star wars (even the sequel trilogy is better (ep 7 to 9), as is the ewok cartoon series, droid cartoon series) and the ewok live action movies (two of them I think)). Oh, and James earl Jones is still alive.

Day 143 of asking to reacts to lythero dragon ball fighterz ultra instinct goku raid boss is impossible and the rest of the serie

Are you going to watch the new episode of avm?

And yet it still a better love sto I can't. Even TWILIGHT is better than this.

Video 016/100

Why, of ALL THINGS, would you choose THIS as your first experience?! Oh boy, I PROMISE this is the ugly duckling of the franchise lol.
