Today's daily poll on IMDB (http://www.imdb.com/poll/ ) has an interesting question.

Since it will be a different poll tomorrow, I'll post the question here...

If you could actually buy The Star Wars Holiday Special on DVD, despite its awful reputation, would you?

I don't know - Despite better judgement I think I'd have to say yes. I've seen it on a low-quality mpg, in all its ultra-sucky-ness glory, and I can't say I'd ever want to subject myself to that again. But, it has camp value and if you ever want to have a good laugh at how bad something can be, you can always pop it in. Or if you're totally drunk, maybe then it might actually seem better...

I would - I've never seen the thing, and just for sheer collectors value it would be cool to own. Even if I couldn't bear to watch it again after the first time.

Like LD said, I may be forced to pick it up because it's a collectible. But who would ever care? No one should ever want to see this thing. Like I've said in the past, I've seen this thing on a big screen, and there's never been a more horrific incident in my whole life. I'd buy it, but then I'd have to hang myself.

I saw it when it was broadcast. I do remember I enjoyed it. Then again, I was only 7. I'd love to grab a copy just for the history of it. Hopefully, no one will be in Buff's way if the thing ever hits shelves. Damn, where is our resident Bea Arthur fan?

I think that guy retired. Or maybe he's finally shacked up with Bea.....

Yeah, haven't seen him around in a while. I know he'd be picking that one up... :lol JMK - you've seen this on the big screen? Do I take that to mean it was actually shown in a movie theater? Or you just watched it on a big-screen TV. Either way - the horror, the horror!!!

I'd buy it just because it's a collector's item. I might not ever even break the shrink-wrap seal, though. On another note, I did see the Droids cartoons on DVD over in Costco the other day. I didn't buy it because I have limited funds right now with the baby and Christmas taking up a lot of resources :)

You can buy the two Ewok movies, and there are dvds of the two cartoons. I'd buy it just to see how awful it is :)

I saw it at a Star Wars convention. They had brought in a big screen to the main hall and proceeded to torture us.

I've been intrigued by the holiday special ever since i heard the rumours. Saw it 4 the 1st time a few days ago on a v bad mpeg. It was so cheesy I had 2 skip a lot of it. I can c why GL wants 2 quietly forget it now. It truly is awful lol.
