The basic idea linking the segments together is that Chewie is trying to get home for the big Wookiee holiday, Life Day. note The makeup was actually to cover up scars on Hamill's face that he had incurred from a recent car accident. The first actual English we hear after a while comes from a brief transmission from Luke Skywalker, played by Mark Hamill under layers of foundation. You know, the whining, moaning, growling and barking that only Han could understand in the movies? The first 10-15 minutes is conducted entirely in those, with no subtitles whatsoever. Want to know more about the rich planetary culture of these proud creatures, starting with why they're mostly named after embarrassing incidents at the frat house? Too bad, they all speak only Shyriiwook. Besides cameos from Han, Chewbacca, Leia, and Luke that appear to have been wrung out of the actors at gunpoint, the special introduces three members of Chewie's family: his father Itchy, his wife Malla, and his son Lumpy (played by Patty Maloney). The main storyline, set in 0 ABY (shortly after the original Star Wars film, A New Hope), takes place on the Wookiee home planet of "Kazook" note (the planet's name is Kashyyyk, which had been established before the special aired).
Lucasfilm has spent the next four decades doing their best to pretend it never happened.
Hugely anticipated, it was so poorly received that it has never been re-aired.

The Star Wars Holiday Special is a two-hour Star Wars Legends TV "special" that was broadcast on CBS on November 17, 1978. That's one of those things that happened, and I just have to live with it.
Maxim magazine: Any plans for a Special Edition of the Holiday Special?
