Happy Life Day

Apparently this actually happened. In 1978 there was a "made for TV movie" called The Star Wars Holiday special.



If you made it further than 1:48 in to that clip then you did better than me. Here is the summary for this fantastic holiday classic according to www.imdb.com:

It is Lifeday, a holiday that is celebrated on Chewbacca's home planet Kashyyyk. Chewie and Han Solo are trying to get to the planet where Chewie's family is waiting for him, but the empire is out searching for the rebels, giving everyone a hard time. While we are waiting we get a look at the everyday life of a wookie family. We meet all the familiar characters from Star Wars and we are introduced to Bobba Fett during a small cartoon. We also pay a visit to the Cantina and meet all the monsters again.

George Lucas once said, "If I had the time I would find every known copy of that and smash them with a sledge hammer."
