At least Carrie Fisher had drugs and alcohol to make it through the show.
Itchy looks like a cross between an aging Chewbacca and that horrifying alien baby from Alien Resurrection.

I'm not 100% sure, but I've suspected for years that this might be the case with me, as well.
I didn't see SW until 1982 (theatrical re-release), and I was 8 when the SWHS aired, though I don't have a specific memory of seeing it.......
BUT.......
My Mom once mentioned that she remembered seeing something with Wookiees "living in trees, having families" etc., AND she was friends with Art Carney. If she had seen a TV listing that mentioned Art Carney, she would have watched it-----which means I would have watched it with her (having only 5 TV stations back then, I watched ANYTHING that was aimed at kids).
So- based on all that, it's a pretty good possibility that The SWHS was the 1st SW film I ever saw, as well.
It's amazing how many people saw it, and then blanked that memory out (whether consciously or not).
Even kids I went to school with and played Star Wars with back when it aired don't seem to remember having seen it...and it's almost certain that most of them did. It was a really big event for television at the time.
