The Star Wars Holiday Special upconverted into 4K at 60FPS is even more surreal

I mean, there are segments of the Special that are pretty bad, but others that are fun, albeit goofy. Let’s be honest, in just about all long running franchises, there are several “WTF were they thinking?” moments. The Shadow had a short run in comics in the 60s where Archie Comics took away his signature hat and cloak, and gave him a super hero suit with cape. Jerry Seigal from Superman fame did some of the stories. I still picked them up, albeit in meh shape.

The response has been so great that Acosta plans to do the Boba Fett cartoon segment next.

The animated segment by Nelvana is a gem. I really enjoy their style of animation, even if it is a bit surreal. I do believe that was released on Disney + though. But maybe not in 4k 60fps?

The art style reminds me of this vintage story book I remember getting at the book fair at school. Anyone else have this? The illustrations were a little weird for my kid brain, but I ended up really liking them.
