Despite its gloomy name, A Disturbance in the Force is in fact a celebration, one to rival an all-night Ewok rave.

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.
