‘The Star Wars Holiday Special is one of the most infamous television programs in history. And it’s so bad that it actually comes around to good again, but passes it right up.’ -Ralph Garman, voice actor, The Family Guy<\/em><\/p>\n

I remember – as a kid – watching this in some sort of zombie-like shock. The Star Wars Holiday Special aired Friday night, November 17, 1978. Only once.<\/a> It’s become a nerd cult classic.<\/a> Lucasfilm would like to just  . . .  pretend it never happened. <\/p>\n

Features the original movie cast, Bea Arthur, Jefferson Starship, the original aired commercials (not edited out; note that they used to air less<\/em> commercials back then) and a not-so-bad first-ever-appearance of Boba Fett animated bit.<\/p>\n

Sit back, it’s just under two unwatchable hours long.<\/p>\n

Happy holidays!<\/p>\n\r\n\t
