It was terrible in every possible direction. If Hitler forced aliens to put on a variety show at gunpoint, you\u2019d feel more comfortable watching it. To this day, parts of George Lucas sizzle and fall off if you mention it near him. Famous little person Warwick Davis actually started as a section of George Lucas that screamed and detached itself when the special first aired. And since that day, it has never been shown or legally distributed.<\/p>\n<p><center><object height=\"385\" width=\"480\"><param value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/FCNGjKnTzaQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" name=\"movie\"><\/param><param value=\"true\" name=\"allowFullScreen\"><\/param><param value=\"always\" name=\"allowscriptaccess\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/FCNGjKnTzaQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" height=\"385\" width=\"480\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\"><\/embed><\/object><\/center>I\u2019d like to take a look back at the different segments that came together to make this one of history\u2019s worst anythings ever. There are two things to look out for in each one. The first is\u00a0<strong>Actor Indifference<\/strong>. Nearly all of principle actors from the film are here, and none of them are good enough at their job to hide how much they hate that fact. Harrison Ford in particular will read the lines but you can kiss his ass if you think he\u2019s going to\u00a0<em>try<\/em>.
