Okay, so this is a few days late for Xmas, but in the spirit of the season, here we go: The Star Wars Holiday Special, now edited down to a thankfully brief five minutes. (The original’s two hours long, and—Mercury Fun Fact™!—was the inspiration for The Ring: If you watch the whole thing, a creepy little girl crawls out of your TV and kills you in the most painful fashion imaginable. True!)

This is kind of why I love YouTube: While a profoundly embarrassed George Lucas has been trying to erase the bewilderingly horrible Holiday Special from existence for decades—I have it on good authority Lucas himself actually torched some poor dweeb’s apartment when he heard there was a VHS copy of the special in there—it will live forever on the internet. So we’ll always be able to watch Bea Arthur awkwardly dance with Greedo, hear an obviously high/drunk Carrie Fisher sort-of sing a song about love or something, and gaze upon the terrifying visage of Lumpy, Chewbacca’s creepy-ass midget son. Which I guess is good. As long as I don’t have to watch it. (Also: Jefferson Starship!)

Also, Mark Hamill looks fucked up. Is that eyeliner?
