George Lucas famously tried (and failed) to buy up all master copies to make sure it was never broadcast again.

The special has never been released on video, but bootleg videos have been circulating for years, and are now all over the internet. George Lucas remarked at an Australian convention that "if I had the time and a sledgehammer, I would track down every bootlegged copy of that program and smash it."

The first part needs a laugh track for those of us who don't speak wookie.

I don't remember that at all but after watching part of it I think I must have seen it. Some weird dejavu going on.

And you didn't ruin Christmas but Star Wars took a pretty serious blow.

I remember when this aired, I was a kid at my grandparents on my fathers side for the holidays.  I only got to watch a part of it, as my grandparents were a very old school religious bunch, and when they caught me at the TV they promptly switched it to "hymn sing", a christian show with a bunch of old fuddy duddy's singing hymns in Canada.

It was a tough call on which show was worse.
