Star Wars’ Controversial Holiday Special Was Referenced In Skeleton Crew, And I Absolutely Love It

Film

The holiday season is upon us, and while people may be deep into watching the best Christmas movies, I know there are plenty of others using their Disney+ subscription this week to watch Star Wars: Skeleton Crew as well. For those still struggling to get the family on board with the latest sci-fi entry to hit the 2024 TV lineup, there’s a case to be made that this show also falls in line with holiday viewing thanks to a cheeky reference to the controversial holiday special from 1978.

While I continue to hold out hope that Lucasfilm will finally relent and allow for a special airing of The Star Wars Holiday Special on the 2025 TV schedule, this may be as close as we get to the franchise acknowledging its existence with continuity. Here’s the moment for those who missed it and why many would sooner forget that wild special from back in the day never existed.
