OPPS186Description
A holographic circus performer's pink costume with a headpiece from Steve Binder's and David Acomba's The Star Wars Holiday Special. The Wookie Lumpy (Patty Maloney), Chewbacca's (Peter Mayhew) son, watched a holographic circus perform on the holotable. The infamous holiday special, starring the main cast of the hugely successful first Star Wars film released in 1977, was officially broadcast only once: by CBS on November 17, 1978. It has since lived on entirely through bootleg copies traded amongst fans and, more recently, versions uploaded on the internet. A 2024 episode of the Disney+ series, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, featured a similar holographic circus as an homage to the one in the Holiday Special. This costume consists of a bright pink zippered-back Spandex bodysuit with black-and-white puffballs attached throughout, black foot sections with metallic studs, pink and black wings, and a matching headpiece with a chinstrap and a wing-like fin on the top. The bodysuit is hand-marked "Alisa" and "EC." The costume exhibits a missing puffball, ripping, discoloration, and boning in the left wing coming out.Use
