No disrespect, but I generally have a 'lower opinon' on Star Wars.  Wasn't a fan of the flicks, but gave it a try.  BUT, I'm a fan of this special.  Mainly, cause for as much as I LOATHE Star Wars, I quite like Chewbacca.  Mind you, I hated the original flick and it's two sequels, saw Phantom Menace in theaters, hated that but liked Jar Jar Binks.

And I like that Lucas hates this, and hates Howard the Duck, but Howard made it's way to dvd.

Fingers are crossed now, in the hopes it finds it's way to dvd.

I watched this on tv way back when, and was just glad to see Chewie and Han on the small screen. It is notable maybe only for having the 1st appearance of Boba Fett albeit in animated form. My favorite part, much like the original Star Wars, was the cantina scene although I was rather confused even back then as to why Maude was the proprietor. Of course when I saw it again years later on a bootleg vhs it was nigh unwatchable. I haven't been brave enough for a third time.

I watched it a couple of times, and reviewed it in the paper for the Christmas issue (filler is in high demand that week). I was lucky at the time to know sort of an "alternative" video store, where you could find - along with the old classics, genre films, anime, foreign and new releases - the odd bootleg of stuff like this.

For those who have already experienced it unembellished and can't bear to go through it again without help, Rifftrax has actually done the holiday special, commercials and all. I tried it a couple of years ago with the version I picked up from Google Video, and it synced pretty well. Very funny. I put the combined tracks on a DVD for easier repeat viewing.

I just finished it for the first time.  That was painful.  I think the best part was watching the old commercials.  TongueOut

You poor soul you. I would of advise you against seeing it to save you from the pain.

Anyone see the "Fighting the Frizzies" version, or just find it online?
