The WOW Report has a clip from the long-buried 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special, that embarrassing blip in the Star Wars legacy that George Lucas has locked away at his Skywalker Ranch, guarded by a small army of criminally-insane little people in Ewok suits. Some Googling will explain the plot of the special much more effectively than we ever could from this three-minute clip, which features Chewbacca's family warbling in their Wookie language and Mark Hamill showing off the acting chops we all came to love in the "first" three Star Wars movies. It's hard to know why Lucas isn't releasing this glorious abomination; if it ever surfaced on DVD, it would easily gross about ten billion dollars in its first week of release. Maybe he's sick of money.
