What's the difference between the cut and uncut versions of the animated segment?
The uncut version of the animated segment is most likely taken directly from a transfer of the uncut film copy of the cartoon (the only part of the Holiday Special that would have been shot on film). Not only does it include the intro and outro portions in full screen (which ultimately show up in smaller size on Lumpy's viewscreen), but it also has a short deleted segment filling the area where the commercial break would eventually be (after Boba Fett communicates with Darth Vader). This deleted segment is a short fake "commercial" with limited animation and a bizarre backwards soundtrack. The soundtrack when played back forwards turns out to be from a contemporary Canadian PSA about conserving electricity!
