So bad its good? Or just a crime against humanity? Its the Star Wars Holiday Special, starring Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill and Beatrice Arthur(!!). Also starring Chewbacca's father Itchy and his son Lumpy.

FYI: If you click the link and it starts downloading rather than streaming, just put the URL directly into your RealPlayer's location field.

Oops, I mean't "Is this a self link?" I guess it's not but I was wondering because of the mirror site.

You know, this thing disappeared so completely after its one and only television broadcast that for years I thought maybe I had just imagined the whole thing. The quality of the RealVideo is atrocious (and it's a huge file, to boot), so don't click it if you're not prepared for a challenge. The Boba Fett cartoon was way cool.

I started downloading, then I noticed it was 18megs and was going to take 4 hours.. alas.. I'm not going to find out what it's like till I get broadband sometime in the far future.

Wait a second, briank. It's one and a half hours, meaning (according to streaming calculator) if it were encoded at a nice, crisp quality, it'd be 300 meg. Even if you wanted to make the quality pretty good or decent, it'd still be 100 meg or 30 meg, respectively. And if you insisted on having a moderate quality MPEG, it'd probably fill a CD-ROM. The quality *is* atrocious, but the file size is tiny, all things considered.
