Daily-ist: Monday

Star Wars Holiday Special (also featuring the MST3K guys)

Okay Star Wars nerds, do you know the names of Chewbacca's family members?* No? Not as big a fan of the series as you thought, huh. Pay no mind, because you can meet the Wookiee's clan and more at Domy Books Monday Movie Night tonight during a screening of the Star Wars Holiday Special.

This 1978 made-for-TV episode in the Star Wars saga featured the original cast of the film acting among cheap sets, an awful script and even worse special effects in yet another attempt by George Lucas to cash in on the popularity of his creations. What results is less sci-fi and more variety hour. Kind of like Chewbacca: Home for the Holidays. Guest appearances include Art Carney, Bea Arthur, Jefferson Starship and Diahann Caroll. You read that right: Jefferson Starship.

Snark will be pre-provided during the screening with the help of Rifftrax (a.k.a the Mystery Science Theater 3000 guys).

*Their names are Malla, Itchy, and Lumpy.
