On the History channel.
You have to see this, if just for the goofy audition films, I mean, Kurt Russell as Han Solo? :wtf:
William "Greatest American Hero" Katt as Luke?
Cindy Williams as Leia?

| 1. Actually I think Kurt would've been OK as Han, just not nearly as good |
|
as Harrison Ford, and it wouldn't have created one of the biggest megastars of the next couple of decades.
Cindy Williams as Leia and Katt as Luke... not so much.

| 3. The show being referenced, if it's the one I'm thinking (included in DVD |
|
set of original trilogy), shows the actual screen tests of Kurt, Katt, Williams etc.

| 4. Yup... It must be from the DVD. |
|
It's not to say Kurt isn't a great and I'm sure he'd bring his own
vision of Han, but, it wouldn't have been the same without Ford.
I watched the Shatner special previous to this show... and I enjoyed
it very much.
STILL NO MENTION OF THE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL!
LOL!
