Can anyone tell me for sure how the Holiday Special begins? I have a VHS copy that I bought about 8 or 9 years ago, from a guy who advertised in Goldmine magazine, who sells old TV shows on tape.
I always suspected that the beginning of my version was cut off- but I'm not sure. My version begins with Han and Chewie in the falcon cockpit, but it's a freeze-frame for a few seconds before the video actually starts moving (he must have paused his master tape for a few seconds on that scene while starting the recording of my copy). My version has the Kenner toy commercials, too. The video quality of mine is pretty good, I think the guy who sold it to me must have recorded it himself.

I'll have to check.......
EDIT: Ok, I checked and it's the KCMO TV5 (kansas city, mo) version. The beginning does seem to be cut off- there's a bit of battle with the star destroyers, then the first line Han speaks is "ok, I'm turning back".
So, the KCCI version is the best one?
