Star Wars Holiday Special Released on DVD

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.""

Even the trolls're having trouble keeping up with the editors today. Looks like every April Fool story submitted is making it through :)

Appreciate their (the editors') special effort today though...had my bellyfool of laughs through the day.

Hope the whiny comment posters would STFU though. Lighten up folks.

Good grief

All other sites on the net: Be careful so you don't get caught out by the april fool joke.

Slashdot: No worries. They're all jokes. Go elsewhere for real news.

This is one tradition I could do without.

Hollywood won't fool me again!

There's no way I'm going right out to buy this. Just wait, six months after I purchase it, they'll come out with the Star Wars Holiday Special: Extreme, Director's Cut, Extended Version. I already own like nine versions of the LOTR DVD's.
