I recently spoke about how, in my opinion at least, Attack of the Clones is the worst theatrically released Star Wars of all time. The reason I had to put that "theatrically released" qualifier in there, is because of The Holiday Special, because it absolutely blitzes Clones when it comes to how low it sinks. The Holiday Special isn't just a bad Star Wars movie, it isn't just a bad movie full stop, it basically isn't a movie at all. Final rating:½ - So bad it’s offensive. I may never fully recover.
