The Holiday Special is a feature length Star Wars movie with the original cast (Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, James Earl Jones, etc) that exists in between Episode IV and Episode V.

Here's the imdb link^
The film largely revolves around Chewbacca and his family, who are eagerly awaiting his return to celebrate the holidays.
It is astonishingly bad, but it's pretty funny if you're expecting trash. There is a particularly hilarious moment in which one of the stars of The Golden Girls sings a song to the drunken inhabitants of Mos Eisley Canteena.
Apparently Lucas tried to have all copies of this film destroyed, but there are still heaps available on the internet for downloading. Although he partially succeeded in erasing this embarassing bit of the Star Wars empire, because I had never heard of it until the other day.
If more people were aware of this, it wouldn't have come as such a surprise that Episode I, II & II were so bad.
The scenes between Chewbacca's family are unsubtitled. They just growl at each other. It's like watching a sitcom starring domestic animals instead of people.
I would highly recommend taking a lot of psychedelics and watching this movie. It's possibly the worst thing you will ever see. How they managed to convince Harrison Ford and James Earl Jones to take part in this is beyond me.
Maybe that's why Ford wanted the Han Solo character killed off near the beginning of Episode V.
