The Star Wars Holiday Special is a 1978 American television special set in the universe of Star Wars. It's set between the events of the original film and The Empire Strikes Back.

It stars the main cast of the original Star Wars and introduces the character of Boba Fett, who appeared in later films.

A Star Wars comedy variety show musical that fails on almost every level, it should not come as a surprise that behind the scenes there was trouble every step of the way.

There's multiple versions of it on Youtube, just waiting for a new generation of fans.

I have never seen it but when Return of the Jedi came out they had a TV special that I started watching but it was just Ewok stuff.
