As for the Holiday Special only being available in really low quality... you should see some of the MST3K episodes. Most of the movies they watched weren't in the best shape. Some looked worse than the best looking copy of the SWHS floating around...

I just hope I'm right...

I'm sorry, but I have to say that the "Star Wars Ewok Adventures - Caravan of Courage (aka The Ewok Adventure) / The Battle for Endor" are far far worse then the Star Wars Holiday Special in my book. At least the Star Wars Holiday Special had most of the original cast, the Boba Fett cartoon, an out-take from the first film, plus Han Solo committing a real deal homicide. And one more thing... Let's not forget the late great Beatrice Arthur belting out one for the boys (or whatever they are) in a kind of kewl cantina segment. The Ewok Adventures just out right SUCKED! SUCKED! SUCKED!

The print MST3K used of Godzilla vs. Megalon was pure crap, and looks far worse then my quicktime format download of the Star Wars Holiday Special. And who is to say that ABC does not have a clean print of the Star Wars Holiday Special someplace in it's vaults? I'm sure the east and west coast would have each had a print of this at the time of broadcast.
