Lucas wants first 'Star Wars' sequel banned:

[Hollywood News]: Los Angeles, Nov 28 : Filmmaker George Lucas wants his "Star Wars Holiday Special", which was originally screened on the CBS network in 1978, banned because he is disappointed with its quality.

The first two-hour-long sequel to the popular film franchise told the story of Chewbacca's journey home with Hans Solo (Harrison Ford) to celebrate Life Day with his family, reported imdb.com.

During the course of the much-maligned movie, Princess Leia, played by Carrie Fisher, reduces Hans Solo and Luke Skywalker to tears with a song.

A contributor on the Star Wars website commented: "The Holiday Special has always been the red-headed step child of the 'Star Wars' family."

A source at Lucas Film added: "The Force was definitely not with Mr. Lucas the day that was born."

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

BAN it? Is he insane?? If there is one way of making SURE something gets into every household, it's banning it!

'reduces Hans Solo and Luke Skywalker to tears '
*falls off chair laughing* Not to mention the rest of SW fandom!

"The Force was definitely not with Mr. Lucas the day that was born."
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!


And I take offense at the 'redheaded' comment!

I think this is freakin' hysterical! Not to mention the epitome of delusion and self-importance. What's he going to do, order search and seisures?

I can remember seeing that special when it first aired--and I hadn't even seen the movies yet back then! I had no clue what was going on, other than that I'd also see commercials for the toys, etc. I vividly remember the wookiee porn--holy crap!

By the way, I ordered a VHS copy of it online about 8 years ago, so it's certainly out there.

I would say that the only good bit in the whole thing is seeing additional footage of Han--and dear me, he was hot! (That is when he wasn't looking like he wanted to shoot himself for being there!)

My favorite part, though, is watching Leia. Carrie is so stoned through that whole thing that she can't even stand up straight half the time. There's one scene where she literally manuevers around a desk, hand-over-hand, to keep from falling. I kid you not!

And what Star Wars special is complete without special appearances by Harvey Corman and Bea Arthur??

Finally, does this mean he's PROUD of the OTHER Star Wars specials? **hack**Ewok movies**hack**

The Holiday Special is probably the one thing in the world that can reduce me to guffaws in a second! And that's just the mention of it. I haven't WATCHED the damnable thing for YEARS, but just looking at pics from it or talking about it like this...

BWAAAHAHAHAHAHHA!

I could never get over 'excessive eyeliner Luke' myself. XD
