History Awesome / TheStarWarsHolidaySpecial

* The cartoon segment is considered the most watchable part of the entire special, in no small part due to introducing [[EnsembleDarkhorse Boba Fett]]. It's also the only part of the show that Creator/GeorgeLucas didn't consider OldShame, as he had it remastered as an EasterEgg on the Blu-ray collection, which would later be uploaded to Creator/DisneyPlus.

* Meta: Props to the actors playing Chewie's family for doing a great job conveying the script using their body language. If one turned the sound off, you could mostly follow that: Malla wanted to Lumpy to clean up his room and take of the trash, Lumpy wanted to just play with the new X-wing model his grandpa had given him and appeals to him to talk to his mom, and Itchy tells him, quite plainly, to listen to his mom and not to try to have him dissuade her.

* A meta example would be the fact that the franchise actually managed to survive this trainwreck.
* Some ''Star Wars'' fans have made [[FanEdit re-edits]] and thus made the special kinda '''good''', surprisingly. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zI7Csp6NGGo Here's a good example.]]

* Creator/BeaArthur's performance as Ackmena the bartender. Probably the only earnest, likable, and non-embarrassed-to-be-involved performance in the entire special. (And for that matter, one of the few ''sober'' ones.)
** That whole sequence was surprisingly competent (considering what's around it), managing to elicit some actual emotion and humor. On this special, that's an impressive achievement.
** They should just re-edit it and make it just those two segments and the Life Day stuff trimmed down to the "search" subplot and the bits with Luke, Leia, and most of Art Carney (since he's also relevant to the plot). Come to think of it. It would be a nice idea for a fan-edit.

* [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Only Moment of Awesome]]: The cartoon segment is considered one of the only good things to come out of this, in no small part due to introducing [[EnsembleDarkhorse Boba Fett]].

* [[MomentOfAwesome Only Moment of Awesome]]: In the cartoon, there's a couple of seconds where Darth Vader and Boba Fett are plotting. Compared to the rest of the special, this is positively epic.
** Bar's not set too high, there. Watching ''paint dry'' is epic compared to this special.
