6/10

Interesting that this has been somewhat canonised

The Faithful Wookiee was originally part of the dreaded Star Wars Holiday Special, something that speaks for itself. But the sequence that introduced the world to Boba Fett wasn't all that bad; it was just a bizarre choice of style that clashed with the original Star Wars' aesthetic (the characters having four digits was SUPER weird; it's meant to be five if it's trying to pass off as being consistent with the film's canon). Let's not even get started with Han's infamously smooshed face that kept morphing into freakishly weird and warped interpretations of Harrison Ford's face.

The Faithful Wookiee is an interesting if somewhat baffling but of Star Wars history; it came out during a time when there was no Star Wars media outside the original film, and knowing the troubles production of The Holiday Special makes this little segment somewhat endearing being part of television's greatest disaster in the 1970s.

Now that this has been retroactively made into a short film, The Faithful Wookiee is definitely worth looking into for Star Wars diehards, but maybe ONLY for them because of its historical value to the fandom. 3/5 stars.

First onscreen appearance of Boba Fett. However, the character made his first public appearance two months earlier at the San Anselmo Country Fair parade on 24 September 1978, which also featured appearances by Darth Vader and several Stormtroopers. During this parade, the Boba Fett costume was worn by Duwayne Dunham, who was working at the time as an assistant film editor before becoming a film and television director.

Near the beginning, when Threepio says it might be an improvement if the talisman turned Artoo invisible, the top of his right arm disappears for a couple of frames.
