First of, let me just say thanks to all of you who've made an effort in preserving this film!

And now, can anybody help me identify which piece of music that is used in the end credits? Is it available somewhere? I'm making my own "final" version (until an official is released...) from the Zion-hybrid (love the quality!), but without the commercials. Would like to fix the end credits, and remove the voiceover.

Thanks!

As far as I know, it's an arrangement that's unique to the Holiday Special's soundtrack, which has not been released elsewhere (apart from Carrie Fisher singing the Life Day Song, which is on a CD-ROM included with The Star Wars Vault!).

The voiceover was a CBS broadcast thing, and is on every single US-broadcast copy of the Holiday Special I've ever seen. The only way I know of to get the music without the voiceover would be to use a foreign broadcast copy that had the complete credits. Possibilities would include the French or Australian versions, if you could find a copy. The Swedish or the Mexican broadcasts might be good as well, except that they're impossibly hard to find.
