I just hope it's a sign that they are more open to it now, and maybe we'll see it released someday yet.

I would say that Lucasfilm does not seem to be trying as hard to bury the Holiday Special lately. In fact, they seem to be referencing it more and more. There are numerous stills from the HS on starwars.com and Hyperspace, and they have shown clips from the cartoon both on the "Bucket Head" documentary (which wound up on the Episode II DVD), and in their Star Wars animation retrospective video that starwars.com hosted a while back.funny how lucas is trying to keep the holiday special buried, and yet there is a screen shot on starwars.com.

I'm sure Lucas has realized that the Holiday Special is another SW product that can be sold (and in various versions/re-re-releases no doubt). So it's probably only a matter of time before it gets officially released in some form or another. Probably an edited version. Or maybe a Special Edition with added bad CGI!
