I watched the IFilm clip, though without sound.

I have a few questions:

Who is that blonde woman introduced in the cast right before Ford/Solo?
Why are there wookiees in dresses? Isn't that a little redundant?
Why is there a ST on Kashyyyk harassing Chewie's familty?
Why did they use puppets for Lumpawaroom's close-ups rather than a suit like chewie?

*shudders* Now I remember why I could never finish the whole thing.

which blond woman?

"Why are there wookiees in dresses? Isn't that a little redundant?"

it makes them feel pretty

"Why is there a ST on Kashyyyk harassing Chewie's familty?"

Why not? The Imperials are mean and their looking for hidden rebels. Takes place after Episode IV so the empire is aware Chewie is with the rebels. Makes sense to me.

"Why did they use puppets for Lumpawaroom's close-ups rather than a suit like chewie?"

CGI wasnt invented yet. Only thing i can think of was that they didnt put that level of detail into his suit so used a smaller puppet with more detail for close ups.

"nobody answered my questions...
Also, where is Luke, and why is Boba Fett a cartoon?"

Luke's there, he talks with them on the phone a few times and i believe is in the song at the end. Isnt he also in the cartoon segment.

and fetts a cartoon because its the obligatory random cartoon in the middle of the show. and the fett costume wasnt finished yet

hope that helps

Maybe you should have listened to the sound, I think you mean Dihann Carrol, her hair is just sparkly.

The blonde woman to whom I refer appears right before or maybe right after Solo in the opening credits, and looks like a cross between Julie Andrews and Hugo Weaving.

IIRC, there was no way they could afford costumes for all the Wookiees at the end. So they all wear the red gowns, and all the extras are wearing modified Don Post Chewbacca masks!

As I recall, it's Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker)... just wearing more makeup than Tammy Faye Bakker.

I don't seem to be able to watch it, it returns a blank page over here. But for some reason I belive I should be glad I can't watch it.

It was a joke. And if you've seen Hamill in all his makeup in the Holiday Special, you'd know what I mean. He looks like a woman. He's wearing blush for God's sake!
