For those of us old enough to remember, November 17, 1978 marked the first (and only) airing of what has come to be known in the Star Wars community as a big groaner. But when it came out, those of us as children (myself included) thought it was a cool and any new Star Wars was good Star Wars (until "Empire", that is).

If you haven't seen it, I think as a Star Wars fan it should be the final "trial" to endure before becoming a true SW geek!

The only redeeming part of SW Holiday special - more costume study photos for us X-wing pilots happy And the animated short holds up OK too.
