15 reasons the Star Wars Holiday Special is actually terrible

2.  The Wookies

The actual Life Day celebration is honestly the weirdest thing in the entire special. Mainly because they put orbs together and they are suddenly transported into a space dimension. The Wookies go through this whole ordeal to get them to the celebration and then, out of nowhere, Leia, Han and Luke just show up like they walked there.

How did they get there so easily with two robots when Chewie and his family had to go through a whole ordeal? It makes zero sense. Not that any of the special makes much sense but this really doesn’t work. Mainly because how are you going to give us five minutes of Chewbacca, Malla, Lumpy and Itchy trying to get to the celebration, and then just have those three show up with C-3PO and R2-D2 like it was easy?

If they had made sure to show us how Luke, Leia and Han showed up, then maybe it’d be okay. Not that it makes sense that they are the only humans at this special event for Wookies, but if we at least knew how they got there, it’d be better.

But we don’t know how or why they are there. And we may never know at this point because no one wants to talk about it.
