On The 1st Day of Kitschmas @Rudedoodle Gave to Me- One Star Wars Holiday Special (Watch it Here!)

If you've never seen it, you can't believe it can be as bad as everyone says it is. But it is. 

The ill-advised Star Wars Holiday Special, written by George Lucas and shown in 1978 is the stuff of legends.

Han Solo & Chewie go to visit the latter's family, and we also see appearances from Leia, Luke, CP30 and of course Darth Vader. 

The definitely-not-canon ordeal includes bizarre scenes like Chewie's creepy uncle viewing what can only be described as virtual reality, 3D, soft porn. 

One interesting fact- the Holiday Special is actually the first appearance of cult favourite character Boba Fett. He pops up in a cartoon animated sequence, then goes on to star in the second Star Wars movie shortly after.

So my first day of Christmas blog for you, my loyal readers, is a link to a fairly good quality version of the entire show. 

If you've already seen it, and can't put yourself through it again, then why not  read this Mental Floss article about the making of the Star Wars Holiday Special instead? They talk to those who were involved who I guess have come to terms with the creation they put out there.

Stayed tuned over the next eleven days for more Kitsch Christmas treats. 

OMG Star Wars Onesies. STAR WARS. ONESIES!

Find Me a Gift score highly on the very cool gift rating once again with these Star Wars themed onesies. They sent me the Boba Fett onesie, as my husband is a mega-Star Wars fan and he's his favourite. It arrived the week I was in hospital, and my husband was sick too. He was so excited to receive it, he says it miraculously healed him*

Its great quality, sweatshirt type material rather than a fleece that would end up bobbling. The Boba Fett design is £34.99, and if you have a few other gifts to buy for Christmas, and you spend over £50 you get a 20% discount.

Maybe Darth Vader is more your type of guy. The Darth Vader onesie is on offer at £29.99

The Storm Trooper onesie is also on offer at £29.99 

I think my husband, who incidentally swore he would never wear a onesie, would happily wear any of these for sleepwear for ever more.

So don't rely on The Force to guide you to your Star Wars fan's last minute Christmas gift, let The World of Kitsch send you off happily to Find Me a Gift. Check out the other Star Wars merch they have there too.
