Courtesy director Jeremy CoonsThe Star Wars Holiday Special aired on CBS just one time in November of 1978, and that ill-advised attempt to cash in on Star Wars after it exploded into theaters in May of 1977 left saga creator George Lucas and millions of fans shaking their heads. Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford all appeared in character in the special, which centered on the Wookiee celebration Life Day, the focus of a new documentary. The doc s home release was announced Friday, coinciding with the canonical Wookiee holiday. A Disturbance in the Force is a two-hour look into catastrophe, featuring commentary from famous Star Wars fans like "Weird" Al Yankovic, Kevin Smith, Seth Green, and others, as well as clips of the special for those who haven t seen it. Lucas prevented the special from airing again after nearly 13 million people watched likely with their mouths agape.
