Oh, my. I wonder how long this will be able to stay up:

Takes awhile for it to load, but... OMG, truly abysmal, in even such a small dose, but also the best laugh of the day so far. "The Holy Grail of Crap" indeed! THE PHANTOM MENACE is a masterpiece next to that.

[Jim Alfredson]

Wow.

That really really sucked.

Was that Jefferson Starship with the silhouette-fellatio-effect?

I actually remember when that aired. Being 8 years old, however, I had no concept of how horrible it really was...

I liked the toy commercial at the end. I was like, "Had it, had it, had it..."

Geez, I wonder why George didn't include it as a "bonus" on the new DVD trilogy set.

My wife told me last night that she remembered seeing it, too. She & her brother were both big SW fans and sat down excitedly with snacks in hand... ten minutes later they turned it off and stomped out of the living-room in disgust.

Now available on YouTube.

Can't believe this never became standard holiday viewing fare...

Ye Gods, was that Bea Arthur?? Who knew she was a part of the Star Wars universe????
