Did You Know?
In December 1978, a George Lucas approved "Star Wars Holiday Special" aired on CBS. I read about it today in an article posted on the Internet Movie Database.
Here's the article:
Moviemaker George Lucas wants his first Star Wars sequel banned, as he is so disappointed with its quality. The one-off, two-hour-long The Star Wars Holiday Special was originally screened on the CBS network in 1978 and tells the story of Chewbacca's journey home with Hans Solo to celebrate Life Day with his family. During the course of the much-maligned movie, Carrie Fisher's beautiful Leia is seen reducing Hans Solo and Luke Skywalker to tears with a song [a song apparently based on the movie's opening theme]. A contributor on the Star Wars website comments, "The Holiday Special has always been the red-headed step child of the Star Wars family." While a source at LucasFilm adds, "The Holiday Special was the biggest fuck-up ever. The Force was definitely not with Mr. Lucas the day that doozy was born."
Also, it featured Bea Arthur. From the Golden Girls. Bea Arthur.
