A Disturbance in the Force succeeds at telling the full story of how the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special was made. And yet, it doesn't really make the special look that bad in context.

To be sure, the fans will appreciate it a lot more than casual viewers. But it’s also an irresistible hoot for anyone with fond memories of star-studded 1970s musical/variety TV specials.
