Okay I'm watching it right now. I downloaded a crappy, crappy version from Blue Harvest.com and I'm 10:03 minutes in to the thing. So far I have rolled my eyes about 5 times, but I haven't been scarred yet.

Then again, the picture is so pixilated and tiny that I really can't see anything anyway. Maybe that is what is protecting me from the horriblness of it.

EDITS:

14:09 - nothing is more fun than watching the security footage of our favorite character's lives....

16:51 - oh I love how the guy was being all cryptic and sneaky (seriously, well done) with the Emperial guard there, and then blows it. "Your carpet is on it's way. *wink wink* [pause] You do know what I'm talking about Malla don't you?" Dear god...

23:01 - Whip stir, whip stir, whip stir!! Dear god, make it STOP!!! That guy is just getting a little to frisky with the food there.

29:50 - and now we are to Wookiee porn. Holy. Hell. I don't know if I can watch any more. My brother can hear my crying from the other room and now he is crying too. I...I don't think I can go on...

41:12 - my brother left, he got fed up, and now I'm just bored. Oops spoke too soon. Now Jefferson Starship is playing and apparently using a sex toy as his mic. Nice.

55:50 - The cartoon is pretty good. How uncharacteristically nice of Boba Fett to help out Luke and Han like that.


And now the rest of the story:

Okay, I now have seen this stupid special and well, yeah it sucked, but it ... well, I don't want to say that it made my skin melt, but now I have to cry. Nah, I'll get over it with time.

I have to laugh that Harrison Ford had the biggest role out of the three main characters. Now that is just a riot. Poor sap. Sure Luke got more dialogue in the little cartoon, but Ford had to suffer through a lot more live action sequences. He he he, sucker.
And Carrie's singing wasn't THAT bad. I mean, she's better than me.

Now that I've seen it, I'm left feeling hollow, confused, like I'd just been jail shower raped. But yet, I'm left wondering...did I like it?

The answer is no and I'm just rationalizing the whole situation. I think that I watched it on a 2 inch screen helped scare off most of the pain. Plus, fast forwarded through some pretty boring stuff. But that is an hour of my life that I want back.
