Lucas wants 'Star Wars' film banned

Star Wars creator George Lucas wants his first sequel to be banned, as it is so embarrassingly poor.

The Star Wars Holiday Special was broadcast in 1978 on the CBS network and followed Chewbacca's journey home with Hans Solo to celebrate Life Day with his family.

A high point of the film is a scene in which Princess Leia reduces Solo and Luke Skywalker to tears with a heart-rending song.

IMDB quotes a source at Lucasfilm as saying: "The Holiday Special was the biggest f***-up ever. The Force was definitely not with Mr. Lucas the day that doozy was born."
