In 2023, we get the story behind the disaster that was The Star Wars Holiday Special in a new documentary by Jeremy Coon, Adam F. Goldberg, Steve Kozak, and Kyle Newman. A Disturbance in the Force looks at the motivations behind the TV special, the production, how it went off the rails, and its legacy. The documentary will premiere at the 2023 SXSW Film Festival in Austin on March 11. We may get to see it soon afterward.
I've seen a hooky copy of the Star Wars special, and I wish I hadn't. It's genuinely painful to watch.
