I have worked on this since around March on wikipedia. A while back, I copied and pasted it here, as it seems to cover pretty much everything about the special. After some intense wookieefying, I believe it's now up to the standards of being a featured article on here. Take a look at the page and tell me what you think. (I think that if the SuperShadow article can be featured, anything can.) Adamwankenobi 08:12, 6 Nov 2005 (UTC)
- Hmmm... Supershadow is different. [Redacted by administration] He doesn't give Star Wars a bad name. This is a monstrosity that should stay away from the main page. The article is very good, but I think this disgusting thing would give a very bad image of Star Wars if it was in the front page. --Master Starkeiller 15:37, 6 Nov 2005 (UTC)
- Oh, come on, it's not that bad. :) And besides, the article specifically addresses why it is so hated (I made sure of that). It basically covers everything I could think of, and I belive it is quite comprehensive. It tells (as you've seen) much about the production, story, what people generally think of it, all of the plot elements, etc. It seems to be quite informative about such an obscure topic, which is what I speciallize in on here. I think it at least gives a neutral view of it, similarly to SKot Kirkwood's starwarsholidayspecial.com. Adamwankenobi 15:47, 6 Nov 2005 (UTC)
- I agree, more important than the fact of Holiday Special being the worst official SW production ever, is that the article is impresive. Also can serve as an example of errors that shouldn't be repeated ever :) Thinortolan 16:21, 6 Nov 2005 (UTC)

- By the Force, its effing huge! -- Riffsyphon1024 05:46, 7 Nov 2005 (UTC)
- I don't give a Hutt's butt whether the Helliday Special sucks or not; this article is good, and that's what counts. KEJ 23:56, 24 Nov 2005 (UTC)
- Cool! I'm currently trying to get this a featured article on Wikipedia as well. They're giving me some very strict ideas of what changes I should make. But, I think, for the purposes of this wiki, I'll leave the version here as it is. Adamwankenobi 21:22, 25 Nov 2005 (UTC)
