"The Star Wars Holiday Special" marked the first appearance of the character Boba Fett, in an animated segment of the show. This special has never been released on video -- however, bootleg home-recorded videos have been circulating for years and are now all over the internet. George Lucas once remarked at an Australian convention that "If I had the time and a sledgehammer, I would track down every bootlegged copy of that program and smash it."
