The Star Wars Holiday Special closes the Mythic Mind Movies Star Wars run as an ordeal of sincerity: so earnestly made that it becomes something to endure together. Fellowship is the point; Life Day is the excuse.

In this watch-along episode, Dr. Andrew Snyder (professor of philosophy and theology) and friends comment live while the special plays. Copyright keeps the special itself out of this upload; the conversation is the companion track.

Topics include Wookiee domestic Life Day, variety-show absurdity, Jefferson Starship in space, and why some cultural objects are best met as communal long-suffering rather than private taste.
