Better Than Jar-Jar
GIANT Magazine has posted clips from a 1978 Star Wars Christmas Special! Did you know there was such a thing? I had no idea! It features Bea Arthur on Tatooine as well as Chewbacca's family. Did you know that Chewie had a kid? Follow the link to see more excerpts, I'll just post up this introduction sequence that includes a lengthy bit of untranslated Wookie dialogue. Yes, really, no subtitles, nothing.
You'll also note from the brief cartoon clip that this is the first appearance of Boba Fett. The Giant article points out that this creates a continuity problem for Episode V. This special was perhaps the first real warning that we had that Lucas was capable of such maudlin garbage.
