"The Star Wars Holiday Special" This is the granddaddy of them all. Debuting on CBS in November 1978, and subsequently never aired on television again, it survived thanks to a few early adopters of the VCR and was passed from fan to fan through the years. Some might have thought it was a legend until they laid their eyes on it the first time. The story centers on Chewbacca's family - whom, you might remember, don't speak English - as they prepare to celebrate the Kashyyyk holiday of "Life Day." Guest stars including Bea Arthur, Art Carney and Harvey Korman (in multiple roles!) show up, as well as the movie's cast of Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher. At one point, Fisher sings the "lyrics" to the "Star Wars" theme. There's also a notorious scene where Diahann Carroll sings to Chewie's father, Itchy. For all of its campy appeal, there's also an animated portion which introduces fan favorite Boba Fett, and it's quite good. At the same time, if you're not a big fan of "Star Wars," chances are you'll have trouble sitting through the entire two hours, 1970s commercials and all
