Off-topic here, but did you know the Star Wars Holiday Special aired multiple times in Australia? It's the only country in the world I know of where it was aired more than once. It's supposed to have aired in 1979 and 1980. I have a copy that was aired in 1983, and another from August 1984. I have heard it aired as late as the late 80s before it finally stopped.
Why did the Aussies love the Holiday Special so much that they had to see it more than once? :)
