Talking to someone who seemed a very reliable source at CELEBRATION IV (I don't want to name the person as they could get into very serious trouble), I heard news of a late in the year DVD release of the HOLIDAY SPECIAL cartoon, either separately, or together, with cleaned up Deleted Scenes from the Original Trilogy.

Did anyone else hear any news about this at the convention?

I only heard that deleted scenes from Star Wars were shown, and when asked half of the audience said they had never seen them before. The exhibitors of the video then said that fans should put pressure on LFL to release them.

What? Not the whole Holiday Special? I want to see Itchy watching Wookiee porn in fully-restored glory. And who doesn't want a remastered sountrack to hear Carrie Fisher sing
We Celebrate
A Day of Peace
A Day of Harmony
A Day of Joy
We all can share
Together, Joyously
A day that takes us through the darkness
A day that leads us into light
A day that wants to make us celebrate
The night
A day that brings the promise
That one day we'll be free
To live, to laugh, to dream, to grow
To touch, to love, to be

And the compelling dialog that ranks up there with "I'm haunted by the kiss ..." "Stir, whip, stir, whip, beat, beat, beat, stir"

Does anyone have any more info on what deleted scenes were shown?

You know of the rebellion against the Empire?

Oh come on. You don't love that segment? That segment on its own is pretty funny!

I have a feeling we will see the OOT in HD before the HS on DVD.

I think the rumor is only about the animated interlude with Boba Fett, not the whole thing. Which is most definitely a good thing.

Yes, the cyber-sex segment ROCKS.
But seriously, I want badly a deleted scene DVD. I don't believe in God, but I pray that this rumour is true

The cut scene of the group outside Toshi Station was shown during Scott Chernoffs STAR WARS CAST REUNION. All of the guests enjoyed watching the deleted scene and many of the fans there had, surprisingly, never seen the footage bfore-a fact that still amazes me!!!

It was only shown because an excellent, forward thinking fan (Skot, take a bow if that was you) brought it along with them...

Man, I'm shocked he hasn't done that by now. He should hold that cartoon short in high reverence - it became the entire future of all things Star Wars. Every film after that, every animated series (including the forthcoming), and every version of every SE. They all had to feature him, make mention of him, or be altered to include him.

Boba Fett became Star Wars. Boba Fett made Lucas who he is.


*Edit* - I may be speaking out of turn. I've not seen the last two films. Boba Fett may not be in those. I'm really just guessing.

And here people thought the OT was all about "Gonk."

However, I in turn ask MoveAlong and Laserman as well to take a bow... for it was MoveAlong's excellent Deleted Scenes DVD and Laserman's brilliant extraction of the material from the CD that provided us with the ability to sneak that scene in there. Believe me, that was not on the agenda until about 5 minutes before the panel opened its doors. It looked fantastic in widescreen fullness on those big screens, and the audience did indeed love it!

Be careful what you wish for. Not only did Carrie Fisher sing a line of that song during her two panels, but the song is included (with Lucas and Fisher's approval, mind you!) on a CD with Sansweet/Vilmur's upcoming Star Wars Vault book.

That's the honest truth.

Regarding a release of the HS by the end of the year... I've heard some rumors too, but nothing substancial. I'd expect the cartoon alone before I'd expect the HS to show up in its full, uh, glory.

But you never know...

This does not make sense. Why would they want to release it?

Because people would buy it.

I used to be very active on this forum. I’m not really anymore. Sometimes, people still want to get in touch with me about something, and that is great! If that describes you, please email me at [my username]ATgmailDOTcom.

Hi everybody. You’re all awesome. Keep up the good work.

People are STILL buying it every day off ebay and downloading it. That's money they're missing out on. It doesn't matter how bad it is, Lucasfilm is totally, utterly incapable of being embarassed by a product.

I'd be suprised if we ever actually see an official DVD of The Holiday Special. I could understand the Boba Fett cartoon released as an extra on some sort of upcoming DVD release, but the Holiday Special as a whole, probably not.
Of course, I'll point out other Star Wars stuff that hasn't gotten a release, such as the Droids and Ewoks cartoons. That only got a partial release, and most episodes are unavailable outside of fan preservations, and I haven't ever actually seen an Ewoks preservation yet.
