It never re-aired and is considered one of the worst shows ever to air. George Lucas has said, "If I had the time and a sledgehammer, I would track down every copy ... and smash it." A cavalcade of STAR WARS players and historians tell the bizarre history of the special that almost ended the galaxy far, far away. "When it isn’t poking fun at moments of iconic trash, it offers an insightful exploration of the production and context of the special." - Hollywood Reporter Film Sponsor Closed Captions Share About Milwaukee Film Milwaukee Film is a nonprofit arts organization dedicated to entertaining, educating, and engaging our community through cinematic experiences.
