I don't think its as bad as some people make it out to be. A few of the scenes were painful but it also had some good scenes like the Boba Fett cartoon.

It was on a major network in 1978.
I saw it then at the age of 6, and was bored.
I saw it again a couple years ago when a friend bought it at a con.
It was absolutely horrid beyond words. No one can begin to describe it. Any music band that had "space" or "Star" in their name was invited to contribute 5 minutes, which was inexplicablly tied into the "story". The person in charge of makeup made Luke & Han look gay. They exagerated Leia's hair do into something frighteningly like Hardware wars. It was just so very painfully bad... especially when Carrie Fisher started to sing...
As for the cartoon... it was lame. animation was worse than hanna barbara, art sucked, and story was stupid. All it did was show boba fett, and even that was lame as hell.
If someone offers you the chance to watch it, turn and run; this person is not your friend!

Sorry, however well meaning, the Holiday Special is still copyrighted and we can't provide links to download locations...

Mark Hamill had so much makeup on, because he was recently in a motorcycle accident.

I have never seen it and have looked practically all my life. I've never had a computer good enough for downloading so I'll probably just have to find it at a convention or something. I think it'll be nostalgic and indicitive of the times it was made rather than being "crappy". Most 70's television (exspecially in the form of a variety show) was pretty ridiculous... I think it'll be a time capsule program.

It's not that I don't want to, but why can't it be rereleased on DVD or something? If the same old Charlie Brown Christmas special can be rehashed every year, why not the SW holiday special?

Well, BaronFel, you see, it was so bad, that even Lucas hates it. Lucas want's to destroy all copies proving that it ever took place. He wants to purge the show from the collective consciousness.
And a show that bad, who could blame him!
I'd sooner watch the Brady Kids cartoon, the Leave it to Beaver revivals, or have a sexchange operation without annestetic.

"I don't think its as bad as some people make it out to be. A few of the scenes were painful but it also had some good scenes like the Boba Fett cartoon. "
I thought that was one of the painful scenes. Nothing against Fett, but that animation *shudder* The Y-wing with it's cockpit becoming a skiff *groan*. I have a copy of the cartoon on CD and man it's bad, from a cartoon point of view.
I do have fond memories of watching the special all those years ago. I'll buy it if it ever comes out on DVD, if only for the perverted Grandpa Wookie scene

Wookie Porn...
It's this sort of 3d helmet that Itchy (Chewie's dad) puts on, and watches this rather sensual dancing while squealing like a little girl

Wookie Porn...
In one word: DISTURBING
EDIT: The HS... look: I think is horrible, but worthy. After all, my friends... It's SW.
(Love the Stormtrooper action in Kashyyyk, the deleted Vader scene from ANH, the original cast [yes.. even Luke] and the Fett cartoon)

For all those of you who say that you wish to see it out of curiosity, please believe me, there are some things that are better left unseen by humankind. A friend lent me a VHS copy he picked up at a convention a few years back, and sitting through it was without a doubt one of the most painful experiences of my life. I mean, it wasn't "so bad it's good", it was just "bad". Horribly bad. It was the forgotten 11th plague of Egypt. JUST SAY NO!
