Last year, I wanted to get out my copy of the Star Wars Holiday Special and watch it with my dear friends, but it didn't work out very well what with the moving & unpacking and all. It occurs to me that the holiday season is fast approaching, and if I'm going to get something organized, now is the time.

My copy is on VHS, and is likely rather low quality--I don't know myself, as I've never watched it (I've been saving it). The friend who made this copy for me says it has the original commercials still in it.

Here's a brief summary of this television tragedy:

Yes, this beaut features Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Art Carney, Itchy and Lumpy (Chewbacca's father and son), Jefferson Starship, Boba Fett, and (wait for it...)Bea Arthur. There are song and dance numbers. It's supposed to be brain-meltingly bad. This is why I haven't watched it yet... it clearly is meant to be watched by a mildly drunken crowd.

I suspect that there will be more interest in this amongst my Bay Area friends, and since I'm up there as much as I'm down here, what the hey? Let's do it somewhere in the SF area. Is there anyone who would be interested in hosting? (I'll subsidize the food & alcohol & help set up.)

Happy Life Day!
