If you are anything like us, all you've ever wanted to do is watch a procession of wookies walk across the sky in long red dresses.
And if you're even more like us, you've also always wanted to see Han Solo murder a storm trooper in front of Chewbacca's hairy pre-teen son, while Chewy himself is up to hilarious stew-related antics in the kitchen.
If any of that is true – any single bit of it – then today is your lucky day. We have a montage-like clip of the Star Wars Christmas Special. Now most space pirates outside the Gamma-Alpha sector have never had the opportunity for a proper Christian baptism, so they don't call their special day Christmas – they call it Life Day. This televised special came out back in the seventies when Star Wars mania firmly gripped over 26 US states & parts of Africa, and a whole bunch of people were looking to make a quick buck off it.
Story is the thing was made without much Lucas input, and when he finally saw it he hated it – enough to have burned the master copy. Now hecklerspray being hecklerspray, we're gladly serving on silver platter something the old Star Wars guru doesn't want you to see.
It's probably the funniest thing you'll click all day.

He hated this, then went on to create Jar Jar Binks. Work that one out.
(BTW my duff copy has some funky 70’s american adverts, and a news bulletin. At least it provides a short history lesson, Mr Lucas).

I am downloading the whole thing now. I may make the kids watch it at christmas.
