Sinopsis
Lynda Carter's second musical TV special.
Chewbacca y Han Solo viajan a Kashyyyk, el planeta natal de Chewie, para celebrar el Life Day (una especie de navidad wookie). Pero Darth Vader, convertido en una especie de Scrooge intergaláctico, ha decidido capturarlos. El especial continuaba con números musicales, largos diálogos en lenguaje wookie, así como un segmento de animación. Oscuro especial para televisión basado en el universo Star Wars. Contó con los mismos actores de las películas, si bien George Lucas reniega de él y, tras su primera y única emisión en 1978, censuró su repetición para siempre.

Londres, 1937.

Van Damm llega a prohibirle asistir a los ensayos debido a sus continuas injerencias, pero ella se disfraza para espiarlo. Esta relación de amor-odio producirá una renovación histórica en el teatro británico. La idea de Van Damm de hacer funcionar el teatro todo el día tiene tal éxito que los demás teatros la copian.
