Watch if you dare! The notorious Star Wars special in its two-hour pain inducing entirety, that originally aired on CBS in November of 1978, and the network has been trying to recover ever since.

Sweet, this one is much better quality than the copy I saw over 10 years ago. And the content is STILL UTTER CRAP! Weeeee... Luke Skywalker looks like such a drag queen with all that makeup on.

It's like a car accident, I know I shouldn't look but I can't take my eyes away from all the horrible wrongness on my screen!

Ok, there is no way I can handle watching that... I actually remember seeing it on tv here in Australia way back when, it can't have been in 1978 then because I would have only been 2 and a bit... maybe a couple of years later?

Anyway, amazing to see it up, it surely can't last long, Georgey boy hates it, as it demonstrates that he never had taste, even back then, and that Star Wars would seem to have been a fluke!

Watch it while you can if you can handle the horrendousness of it!

I own a copy, and it really gets down to watching the first 15 minutes or so....and the last 10, the stuff in the middle is worth one viewing (if you can make it all the way through).

I don't think enough can be said about how wretched this is. So yes, my post was necessary!

How did I not know this existed? *head explodes*

Wow, this makes the three prequels look positively Oscar-worthy.

I would say if you're a die hard Star Wars fan there's no way you can miss the first appearance of Boba Fett (this was aired long before Empire Strikes Back) in the cartoon that's shown approximately halfway through. It's fascinating to see the character concept remained basically unchanged and consistent (even down to the voicing)through the rest of the movies. Take a moment to check it out at around 56:00. Also don't miss the Kenner commercial at the end if you collected the toys as a kid.

I don't think even the crew of MST3K should be subjected to seeing this.

The lesson here... is if you try to cover something up, people will go ape shit to bring it to light.

After the forgettable prequels, it's good to know the STAR WARS Holiday Special is out there, still taking flames to Lucas's Hinderburg-sized ego.

Thank you for this.

Even after trying to have every copy of this destroyed, it's gotten more and more difficult for Lucas to deny its existence. And NOW it is on Videosift!
Don't forget, Wookie Pr0n! THE... HORROR...

Chewbacca's father.... ITCHY? His son LUMPY? WHAT???

HA HA - The Jefferson Starship. How appropriate.

From Wikipedia: "In a special preview promoting a Star Wars Robot Chicken special, George Lucas is driven to a therapist's chair over his hatred of the special. The scene was voiced by Lucas himself."

A shiny upvote to the first sifter to find and sift this up!

OMG, I'm putting the *commercials tag on, because it's FREAKIN' alsome.

Check out the "buy union" ad at 42:15.

Yes, I've had this running that long.

OMG - 43:30, "The Bible"... oh dear.

This little review is an essential companion:

Ah, 56:15 - shortly afterwards the cartoon (a.k.a., only good part about the whole video?) finally kicks on. Enjoy.

"Most of the men must've been out shovelling snow".... *WTF??? That was the news update just after 1:05.

Wow, those ads are long. If you want to skip them and get back to the part two of the cartoon, skip to 1:08.

Enjoy.

Love the commentary about the cartoon though:
"While the guards are futzing around the Wookiees' home, Malla takes Lumpy over to a table and sets him up with a pair of yellow headphones. Lumpy looks around to see if anyone is watching him and, when he discovers he is alone, he begins to watch a cartoon. Apparently the Empire has some sort of law against cartoons that we don't know about. If it's such a crime for him to be watching this cartoon, one wonders why Malla decides to allow him to do it, particularly at the exact moment that they are hosting five Imperial officers and stormtroopers in their home."

This is apparently followed by the best, and then worst parts of this fiasco of a production.
