1978 Star Wars Holiday Special
« on: January 11, 2012, 12:08:39 PM »
Anyone else seen it?  I tried to watch it as it has the original film cast but it was absolutely horrible.   :furious
If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.

The thing that just clicked in for me is...  I remember that thing being on TV.  I distinctly remember watching it in all its awful glory.  I was born in 76.  There is no way I remember it as well as I do from age 2.

This means that at some point, our local affiliate RE-RAN that thing!!!

Wikitruthia says it has never been aired aside from the original air date.  And that the original director was a friend of George Lucas and Lucas backed his decision to jump ship before they finished.

Me too.  Even at 5 years old, I was not impressed.
