James Gunn is currently one of the busiest names in the comic book movie/tv business. Not only did he start working on DC’s Peacemaker as soon as he finished with The Suicide Squad, but he also has big plans to return to Marvel to helm Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 as well as the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. In fact, Gunn took to social media this week to reveal the script for the special is officially complete. Gunn has made it clear in the past that he’s a fan of the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special. “In full disclosure, I loved the Star Wars Holiday Special as a kid,” Gunn noted to a fan. The director’s post about finishing the script even got a hilarious reaction from Mark Hamill. Today, Gunn took to Twitter once again to clarify his feelings about the Star Wars flop.
For the record, I unironically liked the Star Wars Holiday Special when it first aired when I was a kid. Especially the Boba Fett stuff. Sure, I was confused, but it was all the Star Wars I was gonna get that year & I ate it up.🤘 pic.twitter.com/Q1bQx2Ohoy
