Wheeee! Star Wars Christmas Special Day! There are online clips!

This is especially for you ludditerobot, since you you started the madness.

There is...tah-dah! A Star Wars Holiday Special Web site that includes actual clips from the long-lost show, photos, and tons of other "goodies" so you can "relive" the "glory" of this singular event.

I vaguely remember this, if only because I remember my mother complaining that Carrie Fisher seriously needed to wear a bra. No mention of the fact that Carrie looked like she needed to sober up, too.

Wheeeeee! It was two hours? Really? I can't imagine having the patience for watching this stuff.

Oh, and for my darling brother, drmercurious who will definitely enjoy this one: Disclaimer Stickers for Science Textbooks. After being awash in bad science yesterday, this was laugh-worthy since they were produced tongue firmly in cheek. Heh.

Really? I did that to you? Aw, shucks....

I TOTALLY remember that. I looked forward to it with great anticipation as I was 11 years old and thought Star Wars was the greatest movie ever and wanted to be Princess Leia when I grew up. I was disappointed that Carrie Fisher was in it only briefly. I really want to see it as a grown up.

There's an article about this in some entertainment magazine, too - seems to be suffering a resurgence or something.

Thanks for the science textbook disclaimers. Between that and the solution to the Fox Trot comic strip (courtesy of Ludditerobot), I'm really impressing the science teachers at school - and I owe it all to my FList!

On the off chance you actually want the whole thing... I have a friend who's got the full special on DVD. He's most willing to burn a copy for you. Thought I should offer
