Even if you're a casual Star Wars fan, you've heard of the ill-fated Star Wars Holiday Special. You know, it aired once on November 17, 1978 and has never seen the light of day since.
Most likely because it was so bad even George Lucas was ashamed of it. Yeah, it was that bad. I mean this is the man who unleashed Jar Jar Binks onto the world and as of this posting he has yet to formally apologize.
You don't believe me? You don't have to take my word for it. Some resourceful folks have taken it upon themselves to upload it up onto YouTube. I'll even embed part one below.
Oh, that Lumpy is a crazy little wookie, isn't he?
Well, since that special was so loathed that it's never been released, the folks over at Gamer Vision took it upon themselves to give us the Holiday Special that we all wish they would have made. Basically, they chopped the original trilogy into a a six minute clip with some hilarious, and fitting, new dialog.
From all of us here at VideoETA, we wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
