Today marks the 30th anniversary of one of the most disappointing moments in all of television history, “The Star Wars Holiday Special!”

In an episode that NO ONE in the Lucas crime family will actually admit aired, Harrison Ford, Mark Hammil, Chewbacca and the gang bond for some singing and dancing to celebrate “Life Day.” In true schmaltz seventies fashion.. the cast has special guest stars including Bea Arthur, Harvey Korman, Art Carney and the Jefferson Starship! Just as rushed as the stunt casting is the script which includes a four minute scene of wookies talking in their native tongue.. without subtitles.

Now this special has been “lost” for quite some time, but here is a condensed five minute version.

You’re welcome!
