* Say what you will about the Special itself, but it does portray the Empire in a very dark light. Family home viewscreens have a dedicated channel to receive Imperial announcements, Imperial Officers can harass and steal from private citizens, Martial Law can and is declared, entire populations are put under curfew, and troops can perform unreasonable search and seizure of private property.

* May we raise a glass of whatever alcohol is handy for the poor bastards at Creator/BioWare, who likely had to sit through this thing (hopefully with a mute button handy) in order to get the details on Kashyyyk's appearance correct for ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'', and then had to do a ''second'' viewing several years later to put Life Day robes in ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic''?

*** Also Leia's entire planet was murdered by the Empire a few months earlier and at about the same time she was tortured. Even if Luke avenged her suffering and losses at Yavin its perhaps not surprising the Princess may have resorted to the bottle or the powder to deal with all the horror's she's been through recently.

* While an imperial officer is going through Saun Dann's store, Saun Dann has a wallscreen conversation with Malla. Saun explains the shaggy carpet Malla ordered was made by a woman living four planets away, and that she made it all by herself. She made it by hand, solo. Why would Saun Dann make such an inane pun in the first place? Is he aware he's making a pun? Is it for the audience's benefit? Or does he just happen to say something that refers to a notorious smuggler? Notice his voice. He's not making light of this. It's not funny to him. He is dead serious, but what he says informs Malla of something. "Han Solo is coming, and he will help get you out of this situation, but I can't talk right now because there is an Imperial officer right behind me." The looming threat of imperial occupation runs deeply throughout the story, as it does in Ackmena's scene -- No one is having fun here.

* Though most of the Empire's antics are [[EvilIsPetty small scale acts of bullying]], they're somewhat menacing in their reach and totalitarianism, showing just how tight of a stranglehold they have on the common peoples of the galaxy. Viewers watching the original trilogy after the prequels came out have the benefit of context for the Empire's dubious inception, but there wasn't any in the originals' first run. In the original movies, the atrocities the Empire commits are in retaliation to the rebellion that's already in full swing, but their aggression toward civilians here in the Holiday Special is a good demonstration as to ''why'' there's a rebellion happening in the first place.
