The Star Wars Holiday Special

Chewbacca and Han Solo (Harrison Ford) travel to Kashyyyk, Chewie's home planet to celebrate Life Day, a sort of Christmas holiday. However, Darth Vader (James Earl Jones), the great Dark Lord, has decided to capture them, preventing them to arrive on time. This special has, in turn, musical numbers, long dialogues and animation with Wookiee language. Based on the Star Wars universe, this special premiered on television on November 17, 1978. In addition, this special featured the same actors from the films. George Lucas refused to direct it and was replaced by Steve Binder and David Acomba. After the first showing, Lucas tried to remove all copies for avoiding its reproduction in the future, but he failed.
