In this thread: People who haven't seen the Star Wars Christmas Special.

And that's a good thing. Don't see it. Don't do it. You think you're curious, I get it. But you've been warned. If you try to watch it, for goodness sake, at least bring a group of friends so that someone else will understand your lingering pain.

Grandpa Wookiee watching vr porn is something no one should have to witness

Indeed!

And to clarify for anyone reading along. We are not exaggerating. That's a thing that happened in Star Wars. It's cannon.

It's arguably more cannon than the books. At least Grandpa woolie dies a well deserved gruesome death in the books. There's that small comfort.

People think it's going to be like the room, or like watching paint dry. Something that either has a familiar sense of boredom or alternatively any amount of entertainment that can be derived from watching. This is incorrect. There is no entertainment value, nothing to extract joy out of. Just a deep sense of discomfort and the overwhelming urge to literally do anything else with your time.

You understand my pain. Thank you for that.

It's the best movie in the series!

Especially the first incomprehensible 30 minutes!
