I wish they would remake that though, at least to something that is so bad its good; the SWHS is just really terrible and not even good. It's just really bad and in a very bad way.

... except the enthusiastic introduction, "it's the Star Wars holiday special! Featuring the Jefferson Airplane! Bea Arthur! A special cartoon!"
As far as it goes its still considered Canon for the most part because very little except for the Introduction of Boba Fett and Chewies family came from it.

But what really makes it Canon is that Lumpy makes an appearance in the Aftermath books in the third one when Chewie saves his son Lumpawaroo or Lumpy for short. You know the creepy little wookie from the Christmas special, which took place on the planet Kasshyyk which was introduced in the Christmas Special. Just think somewhere in the GFFA we still have Chewies dad watching some disco song in Virtual reality while doing this.




Basically Chewies family from that special is Canon, the planet is canon and Bobba Fett is Canon, the rest is Canon too, just that none of the other characters were expanded on.
