George Lucas loves releasing new editions of “Star Wars.” For his latest masterpiece, “The Sith Who Stole Christmas,” Lucas combines the Star Wars trilogy with the classic Dr. Seuss story.
OK, so maybe it’s not an officially licensed Star Wars movie and maybe it wasn’t created by George Lucas. It’s still a pretty cool mash-up.
Darth Vader plays the Grinch who has a grudge against Christmas. He watches all the Whos down in Whoville (the Ewoks) from the Death Star and decides that it’s time he steals Christmas.
As Thurl Ravenscroft croons “You’re a Mean One Mr. Grinch,” Vader (the Grinch) goes on a Christmas ruining rampage. But even the Dark Lord eventually realizes the meaning of Christmas.
This weekend's shows include some old favorites like "It's A Wonderful Life" (8 p.m. Saturday on NBC), and some relatively new ones like "Jingle All the Way" (10 a.m. Sunday on Hallmark Channel).
My personal favorite for Christmas movies is "A Christmas Story," based on the writings of humorist Jean Shepherd. At our house we love to chant, "You'll Shoot Your Eye Out," if someone wants to do something risky or dare-devlish.
