On November 17, 1978, the Star Wars Holiday Special aired. Thirty four years ago, George Lucas allowed the one only airing of this train wreck known as the Holiday Special. Mr Lucas regretted allowing this air and has refused to allow anyone to air or purchase it since. The only copies around are from the few earlier owners of VCRs or Betas. Some of them have been converted to DVDs. This has made this terrible Holiday Special a collectors item. Here are a few clips.
The first one is introduction to the Holiday Special to celebrate the Wookie Life Day.
This second clip is the animated short that introduces Boba Fett. Best part of the whole Holiday Special. It actually is KOOL and Geeky. I still enjoy watching it. It is very much 1970s cartoon quality and storytelling but still a ton of fun.
Here is the ending of the special. Watch and listen to the Carrie Fisher sing.
