Star Wars Holiday Special

I downloaded part of the 'Star Wars Holiday Special' today, and I must say it is hilarious, even though it's not meant to be. If you've never heard of it, here's some history:
After Star Wars: A New Hope came out, there was a TV special titled 'The Star Wars Holiday Special'. It is about Chewbacca and his family celebrating "Light Day" on their home planet of Kashykk. It was horrible, it was so bad it's funny. George Lucas was quoted to say if he could he would smash every bootleg copy with a hammer. The special was never aired again and no VHS's were made, so it only survived through people who had taped it. It even has a song by Carrie Fisher, which is pretty awful. Another interesting fact about it, it is the debut of Boba Fett, the first time he is ever mentioned or anything.

I was just wondering if any of you have ever seen part or all of it. I downloaded the second half of it off of Kazaa today, and i'm still laughing.
Here is a page about it: http://www.lucasfan.com/swtv/index2.html

I downloaded it about 2 or 3 months ago when i was trying to get EPII on accident, im not kidding you I watched the first 3 minutes and turned it off and deleted the file and never looked back. what a brutally horrible show.
good thing I was only 1 year 1 month and 16 days old when it came out lol

Its horrible, but it's so horrible it's funny, Boba Fett has this odd weapon that looks like a 2 pronged fork

I watched it. Live, back in 77 or 78 when it came out. Wasn't there a cartoon of some sort?
