The cartoon follows a loose plot featuring a mystical talisman found by Chewbacca that possesses powers that make Chewbacca act strangely.

Chock full of bad acting and jokes that fall flat there is however one redeeming quality to the film and that is an animated sequence that introduces us to one of the best and most badass characters in the Galaxy-Boba Fett. Featuring cartoons, live action, and lots of muppetry, it centers around the Wookie holiday of Life Day-the Star Wars answer to our Earth Celebration of Christmas. Released between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, The Holiday Special is one of the cheesiest, corniest, most often lampooned creations to bear the Star Wars brand. It's said that only a true Star Wars fan can stand to sit through the Holiday special. Han Solo's Electrobinoculars (Target Exclusive 9 figure TESB Set) Or (Vintage Original Trilogy Collection) Rebel Commando Helmet (TVC Rebel Commando) Rebel Commando trench coat (TVC Rebel Commando) Rebel Honor Guard body and head (30th Anniversary Collection) To get you started here's the recipe for our Rebel Commander: Be sure to let us know what you come up with! Post is here under the comments section or on our Facebook Page! Our Rebel Commander up there leads his troops into combat armed with a signature Rebel DH-17 and his scouting electrobinoculars. If you don't like your creation, or still want the original figure for your collection (like we do) you can always pop them apart again and put them back on display. And you thought Legos were the only toys that you could "build whatever you imagined" with. Then once you've got a newly created custom created you can share your handiwork with your admirers and give them the "recipe" (parts list) used to create the figure so that they can create them for their own collections.
Or simply add a combination of new accessories to existing figures and create whatever you can imagine! Take our Rebel CO (Commanding Officer) above. From there you can pop-and-swap limbs and torsos and even joints to create a variety of new figures. But how do you create custom figures without disassembling your collection or going broke? Simple! Create kit-bash and head-swap customs! Most every Star Wars figure made in the last five years has at least a removable head. Since joining The Imperial Shipyards I've gotten back into doing more custom figures. Pick him up is you don't already have one! Not my favorite Fett by any means, but a cool looking figure with some eye-catching effects. This Fett is more of a semi-articulated display model and looks great blasting off on your shelf. Sharing pieces from the Vintage Original Trilogy Collection Boba Fett, and the Pit of Carkoon Boba Fett (The Clone Wars style blue and white packaging), this Boba Fett comes with a Return of the Jedi paint job, his signature EE-3 blaster rifle, a blast-flame pop-on base, removable rotating antenna, display stand and a random hologram figure. I find they to take away from the naturalness of the figure and often when they are present the designers will sacrifice some articulation for the action feature. I myself have never been a fan of the quick-draw nor action features altogether. Sporting at least twelve points of articulation-twice as many as his predecessor and a non-removable jetpack, he also has a built in quick-draw action feature-squeeze his legs and he pops his arms into a ready position. This Fett (pictured above) begins to bridge the gap between the chunky POTF figures and the sleek hyper-articulated figures we know and love today. He did come with a removable shoulder armor/cape/Wookie braids, a removable (giant) jetpack, and some very chunky blasters.
The POTF Boba Fett was very stocky and featured only six points of articulation. As Hasbro (and other toy producers) moved from the stiff, poorly articulated, figures of the 80's and 90's (aside from GI-Joes which always had more articulation) they also began to improve the details of their figures.
