CLICK HERE FOR AUCTION LISTING!The Star Wars Holiday Special was originally broadcast on CBS Nov. 17, 1978. Set between the first Star Wars film and the then yet-to-be-released sequel The Empire Strikes Back, it saw the main cast reprise their roles to film new content. The special also featured an animated segment produced by the nascent animation studio Nelvana of Toronto, Canada. The 10-minute cartoon was entitled "The Faithful Wookie," and served as an introduction to the popular bounty hunter Boba Fett.
