A Disturbance in the Force
A notorious artifact among pop-culture fans, The Star Wars Holiday Special will likely never see the light of Disney+ or even a release in non-bootlegged form. But the next-best thing is this very fun documentary, which investigates what went wrong, using clips and lively interviews—and provides context reminding us the 1970s were a moment in time when tacky TV specials were all the rage, and that Star Wars, not yet the cultural behemoth it is today, happened to get caught in the tractor beam.
A Disturbance in the Force is available to rent or buy at numerous places.
