I saw the entire thing on Youtube.com once...

"Happy Life Day"

I never looked at Star Wars the same again -___-

I know. Without the RiffTrax commentary, I would have turned it off 5 minutes into the show and helped George Lucas by destroying another copy in the name of the Force. However, the RiffTrax commentary was brilliant, and made the show worthwhile, in wondering what these guys were going to say next. Even the commercials were targets.

I think I got as far as the 20 minutes of grunting of Chewy's family before I had to turn it off... then I found a clip of Carry Fischer singing...something to the Star Wars theme...

coked out of her mind. O_O

Wow... you're stronger than I am.

Yeah, Carrie was in a galaxy far, far away while filming that special...

I actually watched most of it before there was a commentary. It was... wow. I would have watched it all but it was cut short for some reason. Where did you get your copy?

I found it on the Mininova Bittorrent site. Here's the link if you have a Bittorrent client (I have Azureus, Now called Vuze, get it here: http://azureus.sourceforge.net/): The Torrent link is here: http://www.mininova.org/get/1600425.
You need something like Haali media splitter to get the RiffTrax audio. Link here: http://haali.cs.msu.ru/mkv/

The RiffTrax commentary was added by a couple of guys in December, 2007 (from what I got at the end of the credits). the version they used isn't the best copy out there (The Angrysun edition is reported to be a first generation copy and is hard to find). The version available (see some of my replies), has all the original commercials and these guys are just as merciless on those as they are on the rest of the show.
