Oh, the Star Wars Holiday special. I remember when my dad bought me a bootleg copy for my 13th birthday. I guess he figured I had already secretly infiltrated his porn stash so he bought me the next best video.

Interesting trivia: When "Star Wars" was originally filmed (1976) the Mos Eisley Cantina scene was done in England. Lucas, who's Industrial Light and Magic was based in Los Angeles at the time, felt the Cantina aliens weren't weird enough so he hired a bunch of Hollywood make-up artists from around LA to do a bunch of different creatures. You can tell Greedo (the Green dude who Han Solo blows away) is from two different filmings; the one in London's mouth really didn't work so the close-up scenes were done in Los Angeles. The scenes were inserted in the film; you can tell the differences in the set if you look closely.

Thats why a bunch of the aliens that appeared with Bea in the Holiday Special and other ones didn't. They just dug up the storage unit full of costumes in LA for it.

I always felt Bea's humor was unappreciated; she really was fucking brilliant with delivery and double-meanings. All those lesbian and dyke jokes in recent years made people forget just how funny she actually was.
