Originally Posted By mawnck NOT a spoof! It's a genuine George-Lucas-approved special that ran on CBS, November 17, 1978. It didn't turn out very good (to understate the situation) and Lucas has been trying to quash it ever since. The animated section is the very first appearance of Boba Fett. More (WAY more) about it, including how it turned out the way it did, can be found here: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_Holiday_Special" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S tar_Wars_Holiday_Special</a>
Originally Posted By threeundertwo Lots of great dirt on that link. Lucas is reported to have said "If I had the time and a sledgehammer, I would track down every copy of that show and smash it." and "Carrie Fisher has made claims that she never remembers working in any Star Wars-themed holiday special. This possibly backs up the commonly believed rumor that she was on drugs through the filming of the special. In the special she visibly trips over a piece of scenery, and her eyes are unusually dilated, considering she is front of stage lighting." LOL maybe I'll watch the whole thing sometime.
