Why a Star Wars Holiday special?

Lumpy's not so happy

Question 1:

November 17, 1978, 8 to 10 pm; two hours which continue to live on in infamy. Hot off the first Star Wars movie, Fox studios suggested a holiday tv special. The director who was credited on the show, had just finished which other prestigious tv show?

	M.A.S.H.			Masterpiece Theatre

	Olivia

Question 2:

George Lucas wrote the original story for the tv show, and handed it off to producers to follow through, as he geared up for "The Empire Strikes Back" production. George Lucas had some interesting comments on the show. Which quote below is NOT George's?

	"It's better than the original Star Wars"			"That's one of those things that happened, and I just have to live with it."

	"If I had the time and a sledgehammer, I would track down every copy of that show and smash it."

Question 3:

Lucasfilm head of fan relations Steve Sansweet has been quoted as saying, "George hates the Star Wars Holiday Special, and it's just something that he doesn't like..." Does anyone else agree with him?

	No			Maybe

	There is a long line behind the guy kicking George Lucas in the rear
