Lucas Wants Christmas Special Banned

Unable to slap some new CGI onto the 1978 "The Star Wars Holiday Special" to make it fit his "original vision," Lucas is calling for the special to be completely banned.

Moviemaker George Lucas wants his first Star Wars sequel banned, as he is so disappointed with its quality. The one-off, two-hour-long The Star Wars Holiday Special was originally screened on the CBS network in 1978 and tells the story of Chewbacca's journey home with Hans Solo to celebrate Life Day with his family. During the course of the much-maligned movie, Carrie Fisher's beautiful Leia is seen reducing Hans Solo and Luke Skywalker to tears with a song. A contributor on the Star Wars website comments, "The Holiday Special has always been the red-headed step child of the Star Wars family." While a source at LucasFilm adds, "The Holiday Special was the biggest f***-up ever. The Force was definitely not with Mr. Lucas the day that doozy was born."
One wishes he'd come to the same conclusion about the first two "prequels" which have done far more damage to the name “Star Wars” than the TV special.

Once again we see Lucas exercising creative control that Stanley Kubrick would have called megalomaniacal—he's not only changing parts of his films and denying fans the original work, but he's also attempting to entirely blot-out parts of his resume.
