Courtesy(?) of Brian (who has an occasionally updated weblog), I got to see... well... the beginning of the "Star Wars Holiday Special". Someone cared enough to create http://www.starwarsholidayspecial.com/ in which George Lucas is quoted:
MAXIM: Any plans for a Special Edition of the Holiday Special?
George: [hangs head] Right. That's one of those things that happened, and I just have to live with it.
Over the years I've heard of this piece of dreck, and heard the various rumours about how George Lucas has tried to buy up all of the legal copies so that he could destroy it. My reaction then was "oh, come on, suck it up, how bad can it be?". Uh... yeah... you go, George, and if you need any help rooting out the bootleg versions too, I'll pitch in.
Oh The Humanity reviews it, and tells you all you need to know in a far more entertaining way. The version reviewed there had the commercials, which, I think would have been at least as interesting.
But, as they say, that which doesn't kill us serves to make us stronger, and today I feel pretty bad-ass.
