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.""

Is there any way to get a filter to remove out all the April Fools Day joke articles on Slashdot?

It's getting old. Really.
