Yes, that's the only way to save the Holiday Special.
Here's one step further: Start the movie with Lumpy sitting down at his viewing machine, and then play a completely different movie like Ben-Hur or something.
EDIT: As the movie plays, the wookie's head appears in silhouette and he grunts during the funny parts.
Ben Hur...LOL...How about Metropolis or the Hidden Fortress? After all, they inspired Star Wars. The wookie silhouette sounds like how Mystery Science Theater 3000 was.
