Christmas in the Stars, Meco (PSM/Polygram)

The world of "Star Wars" has been merchandised so relentlessly over the years that it's no longer surprising that there's a 1978 Christmas album featuring cast members from the "Star Wars" movies. It's the soundtrack to a horrifying TV special that has managed to stay mostly unavailable on home video for all the reasons you might expect. As you might guess from something so reviled even by Star Wars fanbois, the songs they've given us here are ridiculous, worthy only of being used in a sketch on "Viva Variety" or "Mad TV." Try this song title on for size: "What Can You Get a Wookie For Christmas (When He Already Owns a Comb)?" And if that's not bad enough, they revisit the gag later in the album. Its sporadic availability appears to have something to do with the fact that one of the backing musicians was the man currently known as Jon Bon Jovi. Further rock connection: Jefferson Starship guested on the show, but nothing of theirs is on this disc. The album is out of print once more, currently fetching collector prices on Amazon.
