  • Executive Meddling: Originally, Lucas was to be much more involved in the project — he helped to write the first draft of the script (a standard-issue Star Wars adventure revolving around Life Day) and pitched a hand in on the animated Boba Fett segment. Sounds great so far, but then the CBS execs decided it had to be a variety show spectacular of the type that was relentlessly inflicted on unsuspecting audiences of the 1970s. Lucas, by this time, had gone off to concentrate on The Empire Strikes Back, and other hands — namely Pat Proft and Bruce freaking Vilanch — rewrote the script to fit the network's wishes.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: Practically the poster child.
  • Old Shame: George Lucas; the quote at the top of this page gives a fair idea of what he thinks.
