Watch along with us as we dive into the hilarious and terrible Star Wars Holiday Special for the FIRST TIME. Neither of us have seen it before we recorded this. But is it as bad as they say?

Yes. Probably worse.

So grab some hot cocoa, gather your friends and family, and get ready to blast off into a holiday adventure full of questionable decisions and 1970s television nostalgia.

All of that and more on this week’s episode of The Force of Others!

Email us your questions, and we'll answer them next week! Maybe. Eventually for sure.
