Thanks to BSG FX whiz Mojo for the tip -- Vanity Fair has an amazing article up detailing the making (and/or unmaking) of the infamous Star Wars Christmas Special. I love stories like this, chock full of inside info, on obscure and utterly bizarre pop-culture relics. I've seen the Special and lemme tell you, Bea Arthur dancing with Wookiees? It's the best.
