>> SKOT: You can bet I've thought about that many times... I'm sure there had to be some as well, and chances are I may have even seen one on TV back in the day. But unfortunately, I've never in all these years found any further evidence of one.
Late reply.
I showed Skot this months ago, but a TV ad for the Holiday Special definitely turned up on Youtube. It advertised the special, as well as a show called Flying High.
Weirdly, now that I've posted this, I can't find the damn thing. Doesn't show up in a search for the Star Wars Holiday Special.
