I saw Star Wars in the theater in 1977, but I vividly remember watching The Holiday Special over my aunts house when I was 6 years old in 1978, and it was laughable even then! It was cheesy, lame, and I think we turned it off as I really can't remember how it ended. Just think if that were ESB, Star Wars would have ended in 1980!
I still believe that every Star Wars fan should watch it once, because it is so bad, it's great to comment about it!
