Star Wars Holiday Special Released on DVD

Posted by CmdrTaco on Friday April 1, 2005 @10:51AM from the bringing-back-an-old-friend dept.

Crow T. Trollbot writes "LucasFilm has finally released the long-delayed and never-awaited Star Wars Holiday Special (aka A Very Wookiee Christmas) on a special "Platinum Edition" DVD. Long maligned as the worst project ever associated with the Star Wars universe, the LucasFilm DVD includes all the original special (complete with Bea Arthur, Art Carney, Harvey Korman, and The Jefferson Starship), plus a short documentary, The Highway to Life Day: My Search for the Star Wars Holiday Special. The reviewer isn't impressed. "If you want to hang onto any fond childhood memories George Lucas hasn't already managed to destroy, avoid The Star Wars Holiday Special like the Crimson Plague.""

We've only had about 4 real stories today, and most /.ers are staying away.

What happened to April Fool's jokes stopping at 12 midday?
Wouldn't that be a nice tack to take for next year?

Or how about one story next year that is just for people to put all the April Fools jokes in the comments so we don't have to get a load of stories on the front page about them?
