Welcome to Couch Potato Theater, where we celebrate our favorite movies on the Fandom Podcast Network! We're celebrating "Life Day", November 17. On that date, the infamous 'The Star Wars Holiday Special' originally premiered in 1978. The Star Wars Holiday Special is an American television variety special originally broadcast by CBS on November 17, 1978. It is set in the universe of the sci-fi-based Star Wars media franchise. Directed by Steve Binder, it was the first Star Wars spin-off film, set between the events of the original film and the yet-to-be-released sequel The Empire Strikes Back (1980). It stars the main cast of the original Star Wars and introduces the character of Boba Fett, who appeared in later films.



We will also discuss the 'A Disturbance In The Force' (2023), an in depth documentary on 'The Star Wars Holiday Special'. 'A Disturbance in the Force' is a 2023 American documentary film directed by Jeremy Coon and Steve Kozak, with Kyle Newman and Adam F. Goldberg producing.
