I found this link while searching through Star Wars blogs. I'm still loading it up, but if it's as ridiculous as it's made out to be, it should be worth the wait! I'll post comments as soon as I finish watching this travesty.

(Chances are, this will take a LONG time to load, as it's in Flash form and there seems to be no way to download it manually.)

 

While you're waiting on it, read up on it at Wookieepedia:

I can now see why Lucas didn't want this video to survive.  And I'm not even half way through it.  Better keep watching it then.  (COOKING LADY MAKES MIKAN A SAD PANDA!)

...which is why GL hates it.

And I quote:

1. "If I had the time and a sledgehammer, I would track down every copy of that show and smash it."

 

2. "The holiday special does not represent my vision for Star Wars."

 

3. "(hangs head) Right. That's one of those things that happened, and I just have to live with it."

 

4. "The special from 1978 really didn't have much to do with us, you know. I can't remember what network it was on, but it was a thing that they did. We kind of let them do it. It was done by... I can't even remember who the group was, but they were variety TV guys. We let them use the characters and stuff and that probably wasn't the smartest thing to do, but you learn from those experiences. I had a wonderful time on Young Indiana Jones. It was a great series. We did it for four years. I spent those four or five years actually working on it. That's really all I did during those years. It was really a great experience and I love television."

End Quotes.

 

Personally, the only reason I would watch it would be for reference; such as what the empire was doing at that time, etc.

Ive always wanted to see it, because Ive always heard so many terrible things about it.

 

But I can't
