You can listen to an audio forecast, or watch a video forecast any time of the day. But wait, there's still more. It makes Luke, Han and Chewie look like a bunch of chumps. This is the special George Lucas doesn't want you to know about. In fact, you wonder if Lucas even knew about it himself before he saw it listed in his TV Guide.
Somebody seems to be shaking their chairs, to make it appear they're being shot at.
Han reassures his hairy friend, giving viewers the first hint of the egregious theme of this holiday special. OK, try to imagine you're watching this. You've already seen Han Solo and Chewbacca, and the announcer has told you that Luke, Leia, the robots and Darth Vader also will be making appearances. So, despite the evidence so far, you're hoping for the best. The screen fills with a furry face with the kind of black canine nose that probably has to be checked often for dampness.
