Holiday Special Video Updated

Today I have updated The Star Wars Holiday Special in the Television Shows section under Movies. To conclude the week long celebration of the 30th Anniversary, I have replaced the 2 inch squared version video with an easier to see 720X480 version. I have broken the video into two parts because it is a large download and runs for about 1 hour and 35 minutes.

Holiday Special's 30th Anniversary

Yesterday was the Holiday Special's 30th Anniversary! It is hard to believe that it has been that long. On November 17, 1978 I was tuning into my TV to watch the special on CBS. Most of you probably never saw the special and many of you may be wondering what I am talking about. The  Holiday Special features Chewie and Han trying to get back to Kashyyyk for a celebration called Life Day. Many of the main characters from Star Wars were in it, but one of the most significant events was the introduction of Boba Fett in a cartoon that Chewie's son is watching.

The Official Star Wars Site has a great article about the Holiday Special and it includes interviews that were originally printed in a double issue of Filmfax magazine #69/70 from 1998. Be sure to read the interviews!
