Today’s strip focuses on perhaps the most bizarre and unexpected moment in the entire Holiday Special. Grampa Bacca watches what, by heavy insinuation, is virtual reality softcore porn. As if this wouldn’t be weird enough in a children’s holiday special, this scene happens with Wookiees! And just look at Itchy’s face! If that face woke me up to go to school in the morning, I would get the hell out of bed. Sinking under the covers would not protect me. It looks like something out of Terrahawks. Don’t know what I’m talking about? Oh my god… Zelda might mean video game nostalgia for some, but for the kids of my generation, Zelda meant terror! Anyway, Itchy is clearly a crossbreed between Zelda and the unmasked Predator.

Look at the bizarre design, makeup and directorial decisions made throughout the Holiday Special. Lumpy running around for minutes of screen time, along with the rest of the Wookiee household with no real dialogue or subtitles for the first 5 minutes. Mark Hamil’s sudden turn as a transvestite. The Cirque du Soleil on Lumpy’s kitchen table. The badly dubbed Imperial Fleet Trooper. Saun Dann’s appallingly indiscreet hint about “hand solo” that even a 3 year old could understand. The Virtual Reality call girl that helps get Itchy off, to quote Saun Dann “if you know what I mean, WOW!”. And this isn’t even halfway through the special yet. I have come to the conclusion that this insanity was one hundred percent a conscious and deliberate decision by the director. He wanted to freak us out.
