Titled “A Disturbance in The Force,” this upcoming documentary will delve into the behind-the-scenes story of how this 1978 explosion of cheesiness came to be.

While the Star Wars franchise has spawned numerous successful movies, TV shows, and other media, The Star Wars Holiday Special stands out as a notorious misfire.

Directed by Jeremy Coon and Steve Kozak, “A Disturbance in The Force” is set to make its premiere at the South by Southwest Film Festival (SXSW) later this year. With its behind-the-scenes insights and star-studded lineup of interviewees, this documentary is sure to provide a fascinating glimpse into one of the most notorious productions in Star Wars history.
