Tonight in 1978 — The STAR WARS Holiday Special debuted on CBS.
Among the (many) WTF moments: Bea Arthur as a singing space bartender!

It’s sooooo bad.
@willmckinley
Just the thing when the edibles kick in.
I think I managed 40 minutes of it. I’ll see if I can’t go beyond that. With good friends, all is possible.
@willmckinley I watched this when it aired.
I was 13, and intensely interested in seeing more from the Star Wars universe.
To say I was disappointed would be an understatement.
@MichaelPorter @willmckinley It was the biggest disappointment of my childhood. But the Ewok Special is a close second.
