The ubiquitous cultural cachet of Star Wars is under attack, not by an intergalactic warlord, but from 1978’s absurdly campy “Star Wars Holiday Special.” The program aired a single time on CBS, never to be shown again, and is considered one of the worst pieces of Star Wars media ever made. Despite being a thorn in the sides of the creatives behind the franchise, in the 45 years since, the special has become a cult classic within Star Wars fandom. – Brandon Harrison
