Revenge of the Star Wars Holiday Special
Although according to Now Playing magazine, George Lucas' "much-maligned 1978 TV one-shot The Star Wars Holiday Special will never be seen again by mortal eyes – presumably because it’s so god-awful," the editors of the mag have taken the opportunity to dream up their own sequels for the TV series, in case George (aka "the flanneled one") is looking for ideas. (Actually, after the launch of Pajamas Media, I thought the Instapundit was the new flanneled one. Or is he the denimed one? Around bloggywood he's more famous than Lucas anyway.)Here's the best sequel idea, and you immediately see why:

"The Angriest Planet in the Galaxy: Original Star Wars stars Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and Carrie Fisher join together for a rare appearance as their characters Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Leia Organa. The original Jedi, rogue, and princess, joined by a space lawyer played by Calista Flockhart, must travel to the Angriest Planet in the Galaxy, where washed-up movie stars, earring-wearing mid-life crisis sufferers, overweight script doctors, and ex-sitcom actresses reign supreme. 'I’ve got a bad feeling about this...'"

Indeed... ;)
Enjoy your holidays, everyone!!
