Ever watched the Star Wars Christmas Special? I saw it when it aired. Until the advent of the Internet I thought I'd imagined it. It's a terrible, horrible, bizarre thing but it starts out by hanging out with the Chewbacca family.

That was before Empire. That was 5 years before Jedi. Yet back then, you could see the impending crazy that was Lucas. In retrospect it's obvious, but at the time it was presumed that Lucas had nothing to do with it and the craziness was all network.

Not so much.
