No, not the new movie. While doing my weekly surfing, I stumbled across something called "The Star Wars Holiday Special".
Yeah, let that sink in, a Holiday TV Special for Star Wars.
Apparently, it was a real special that aired on November 17, 1978. It looks so bad that I still doubt it was real...but it would show just how far back the horrible writing & massive shilling campaigns really went. =)

Wrestle Crap*,
Stomp Tokyo, and, as proof it exists,
IMDB.]
*(Just a heads-up: the first link contains language that you may not want to check out while you're at work, or in front of people born several years after "Return of the Jedi".)
