| rdfs:comment | - Christmas in the Stars: Star Wars Christmas Album is an album produced in 1980 by RSO records. It features Star Wars–themed Christmas songs. The album was produced by Meco Monardo, the man who recorded the infamous disco version of A New Hope's main theme. Anthony Daniels voiced C-3PO, and Ben Burtt provided the sounds for R2-D2 and Chewbacca. Christmas in the Stars was recorded in 1980, two years after the much maligned Star Wars Holiday Special aired. Though they share similar themes, they have no connections to one another other than the fact that they were both marketed in conjunction with major holidays (the Holiday Special being tied to the American Thanksgiving holiday).

- Christmas in the Stars is a concept album spun off from the Star Wars film series, originally produced in 1980 (two years after the much maligned Star Wars Holiday Special aired) by the former RSO records. The album finds R2-D2 and C-3PO gathered in a toy workshop with a crew of droids and sing through a myriad of songs about Christmas all over the galaxy. The album culminates with the arrival of S. Claus (Santa's son, played by a young Jon Bon Jovi) who arrives to spread some Christmas cheer.
