Found it when I searched for star wars holiday special documentary, hoping to see a sign of something that Bruce Vilanch mentioned in an interview. Some people were shooting a documentary... that apparently went nowhere. (The interview was on "Feast of Fun" in July 2010.)
I was just pondering this question: Bruce Vilanch mentioned a documentary that some people were doing, and that their fundamental problem was that the footage they'd need -- the SWHS itself -- wasn't available, so people would be watching a documentary about something that they wouldn't be able to actually sit down and watch.
Does anyone here know anything more about this documentary? That interview is the only mention of it I've heard, and it sounds like a fascinating project and well worth seeing. I know I'd invest to make sure it happened, and probably others here, but I can't find other mention anywhere.
I'm not sure if it's the same one, but there's a guy named Jacob Adams who has written me occasionally for years about a documentary he's been trying to do. I haven't seen any footage, but a while back I believe he was supposed to send me a preview of it. Don't know what happened with that.

Today's "Sally Forth" has a reflection on the SWHS:

Best idea of all is the thought that the family could watch the DVD of Ted giving a commentary on the Special while the Special itself played on a TV behind him.
I know that there was one other time the strip referenced the Special. Have there been more?
(Also, I can't find any sites that will allow me to zoom it and then save the image. Anyone see one?)
The only other time I know of that Sally Forth did a reference was the December 3, 2005 strip, where they sit down to watch it after getting all their Christmas preparations done (and sadly, the .gif I have of that one is even smaller than the current one). The writer must be a big fan of the show!
