The STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL Gets a FORCE AWAKENS Style Trailer

View fullsize

George Lucas' Star Wars Holiday Special is one of the greatest worst things that was ever created. Now you can briefly relive the awkward magic with this silly trailer for it that was recut in the style of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The video was created by Diane Bullock and Mike Schuster for Vulture, and it came with the following note:

The Holiday Special featured such off-brand spectacles as a performance by Jefferson Starship and a bit where Bea Arthur talks to a giant space-rat. But guess what, folks: Lucas isn’t in charge of Star Wars anymore. So, in honor of The Force Awakens’s new direction for the Star Wars franchise — and in honor of the impending holiday season — we proudly present our imagining of Star Wars: The Holiday Special Awakens.

The Star Wars franchise is about to reinvent and reinvigorate itself with "The Force Awakens." But let's not forget the importance of the Star Wars Holiday Special. This week's Vulture Remix does the important public service of combining them. Here's the original Holiday Special, if you dare to watch it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4CtXcjib4o Come back for more Vulture Remixes on Mondays!
