Made by and for “Star Wars” fans, this documentary is an entertaining look at how one of the most baffling projects in television history came to be.

An entertaining examination of the first piece of Star Wars media that the fandom turned against- and far from the last.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 9, 2024

If you can’t embrace something at its worst, how can you love it at its best?

| Original Score: 5/5 | Feb 23, 2024

There’s not much new insight for those already aware of the special. Still, for newcomers, there’s certainly value in that regard, and it’s not as though there isn’t any entertainment to come from this deep dive.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jan 11, 2024

Over the years most of those in the documentary were forever embarrassed by their appearance in it.

| Original Score: B | Jan 6, 2024

It's fun, we like everybody, and we learn some new facts, but it's not as shocking as we might have imagined it would be at the outset.

| Original Score: B | Dec 26, 2023

A Disturbance in the Force is a delightful look at the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 24, 2023

This fascinating doc about what is arguably the most memorable bad television special in history rolls out a satisfying list of fans, among them Kevin Smith, Weird Al Yankovic, Patton Oswalt and Seth Green. And Donny Osmond.

| Original Score: A | Dec 20, 2023

There is so much Star Wars content that it is hard to get interested - even when they cover something that was as difficult to find as The Star Wars Holiday Special. A Disturbance in the Force succeeds thanks to a genuine love of the source material.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Dec 15, 2023

A love letter to fandom, and a wonderful reminder of how much fun being a Star Wars fan can be in the right company.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Dec 15, 2023

The new documentary A Disturbance in the Force gives us a glimpse into what it was like to experience the chaos.

| Original Score: A+ | Dec 15, 2023

The backstory of the Star Wars Christmas special is a lot more fun than the special itself.

| Dec 15, 2023

[I]t does a decent job of dissecting a show that never should have logically existed, exploring the circumstances that allowed it to exist and reminding us that the Boba Fett cartoon contained therein was genuinely cool.

Ultimately, A Disturbance in the Force is a fun little documentary. Perfect for the nerd in your life (even if that nerd is you).

| Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 14, 2023

A Disturbance in the Force covers everything about the Star Wars Holiday Special in such a hilarious and entertaining way that it would make even Darth Vader chuckle. The Force is strong with this one.

| Original Score: 10/10 | Dec 11, 2023

Even if you just want to see a lot of clips of Harrison Ford looking like he wants to dissolve into goo and seep into the floor, never to be seen again, it's well worth tracking the documentary down.

| Dec 6, 2023

I emphatically recommend it for any self respecting “Star Wars” fanatic.

| Dec 6, 2023

The helmers strike gold with this documentary, which supplies a necessary overview of creative decisions and hirings that led what was meant to celebrate all things “Star Wars” to the television hall of shame.

| Original Score: B+ | Dec 5, 2023

There's no defending the half-witted, scruffy-looking 온라인카지노추천 show that aired only once, but this new movie gives the bomb some affection while putting it in context.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 4, 2023

Fun—and probably less traumatizing than watching the real thing, which can be found pretty easily on free online sites.
