A Very Special Star Warps Holiday

 Star Warps! Just the name alone rings bells of memories, when its creator George Lukers promised his faithful Warpers that one day... ONE DAY he'd expand the world of the original Star Warps movie and give us a glimpse of the enormous far-time galaxies it fitted into. The great plan.

And then he did! And, even better for those of us who didn't have a movie theatre of our own, for TV! It arrived less than a year after the first Star Warps, starred all of our favourite characters (except Oble Kenoble who is dead (spoilers)) with special guest stars like Aunt Carney, Beau Arther and a special performance from Jefferson Airship. 

It was called A Very Special Star Warps Holiday, and it was AMAZING.

You have to see it for yourself - and one day we will, through the magic of repeats. But until then, here are some of the treats that await us:

Chewy's family on the Wonky homeworld of Kolchak:


Marla

Marla, Chewy's beautiful wife

Scratchy

Scratchy, his irascible father

Humpy

Humpy, Chewy's young son.

All of them are on Kolchak trying to prepare for Go-Live Day, a festival of singing and gathering which is holy to all the Wonkies.  But of course they keep getting interrupted by the guest stars and all hell breaks loose! In the end Chewy and his human owner Hank Solo arrive and sort things out. Phew! And not before time, as Princess Layer and Luke Sandhater are invited too, and pretty soon there's going to be singing.

Hey, careful, Luke - that's Hank's Sister! (spoilers)

Chewy and Hank

"It's a Wonderful Go-Live Day, Chewy!"


Star Warps - it's not just for Go-Live Day!
