    watched it, in 1978. I was 9 years old. My older brother had the idea, on the cassette recorder, with mic’ our family had to record the audio,…so, after, audio of Wookies for several minutes.
    Eventually, I found in a comic book shop, around 2001, they had bootleg vhs tapes, for $1 of “the special”. I paid, I watched, -the audio came back to my mind. I drank whiskey watching, and that made the experience much better.
    I watched it with a good friend, a SW fan, who had not seen it. We drank several beers, and laughed.
    Before quality copy on TH-cam, I loaned my bootleg vhs, to a family at my church. They were doing a marathon of the films. I told them “This is not all very good. Yet, if you are a true fan, you need to experience it once.” After, one of the family asked if they could have the viewing erased from their minds. No!

    Well, George might never be able to "take a hammer and smash every existing copy" now, but every super saga has its epic failure here and there. Just as KISS did "KISS meets the Phantom of the park" and Paul McCartney did "Broad Street". Even George's cinema mate Steven Spielberg did "1941" and "AI". And overall, the irony is that you can't expect even the greatest masters to do things perfect every time. For if one of them is doing things perfect all the time, they are likely pulling a Bernie Madoff scam!

    With the enormous success and popularity of Star Wars and momentum still in full force, all they had to do is make something that wasn't horrible and it would have been a hit. Remarkable how all those big shots involved can result in something like this

    Well maybe it could otherwise be annoying, but we're already used to hearing Chewbacca's sound effect right from the first Star Wars Film and then in The Making of Star Wars which comes out in the Fall of 1977 on a Friday night. Diahann Carol's appearance makes in this Special makes a good trick question of "True or False? Billy Dee Williams The first African American to appear in a Star Wars Feature?If you're familiar with this then you know that it's False.This feature also has a great All-Star guest cast including Art Carney, Bea Arthur, and Diahann Carrol.

    As a kid, maybe 8 years old, my favorite part was the cartoon. The only other things worth watching for me involved seeing the movie characters. Disappointment is the best word to describe my feelings for this show at the time. The minimal amount of Han Solo & Chewbacca was particularly disappointing.

    I always wondered if the leftover cantina costumes and set from this were the reason for the cantina scene in Richard Pryor’s NBC comedy special existing around the same time. His was actually funny..

    The Irony is that the woman whose doing the narration has a 'super annoying voice', which 'grates' on you after 30 seconds of listening to her. The exact complaint she throws at the show! It doesn't help that her script is awful

      In the middle of the summer, in the middle of a park
      There began a great adventure for a boy whose name was Mark
      He had come to see the magic man, along with all the children and
      'Twas so began the day that Mark was never to forget
      He performed all sorts of miracles, and Mark was so impressed
      That when the time arrived to go he lagged behind the rest
      Then quietly he did return, the secret of the hat to learn
      But everyone had gone away and darkness filled the set (or "Darkness held its breath?!")
      The moment that he touched the hat the room began to glow
      And as he put it down and ran the hat began to grow, and grow,
      And grow, and grow, and grow, and grow, and grow, and grow,
      And grow.... and grow!
      He was stunned and he was fascinated, still he had to see
      There was something deep inside the hat; what could that something be?
      Then cautiously each step he took, he climbed up on the brim to look,
      And all at once the hat began to shake, and rock
      Look out!
      Falling, falling, into the hat he fell
      Spinning, turning, whirling, twirling
      Down, down
      And when he looked into the skies, he couldn't believe his ears or eyes
      Lidsville is the Koo-Koo-Kookiest
      Lidsville is the Ki-Ki-Kickiest
      Lidsville is the Groo-Groo-Grooviest
      Lidsville is the living end, friend
      If you get a chance to go-go there, you'll be glad you did,
      'cause Everybody who goes to Lidsville really flips his lid!😊
