And more than anything else, our love for one another. This is the promise of the tree of life. Cue song. Right.

Yeah. And apparently that was one of the big contingencies on Carrie Fisher being involved.

She's going through a phase where she's like, I kind of like singing. Bruce Valanche calls it her Joni Mitchell period. Yeah, and she somehow convinced them to let her sing as Princess Leia.

Yeah. So along the way, the original director quit. A new director, Steve Binder, was hired to finish the job and bring it in. And he did. Over the original $1 million budget, of course, always. He did bring it in. And at this point, George Lucas had... He was... He was working on Empire Strikes Back. He didn't know what was going on. He wasn't around for the shoot.

No, it wasn't until it aired, I think, that he actually saw it. Yes, and it was a travesty, obviously, if you haven't noticed that by now. Critics hated it. Star Wars fans really hated it. Everybody hated it. The people who were in it hated it. Lucas hated it. Even Harvey Korman secretly hated it. Yeah, even Harvey Keitel hated it. Actually, he loved it.

But Lucas has been asked over the years about it a lot, and he doesn't talk about it much. But in 2005, and I don't buy this for a second, he says it was an interview. He said, the special from 1978 really didn't have much to do with us, you know. That part is true. I can't remember what network it was even on, but it was a thing that they did. That's a lie.

There's no way he doesn't know that was CBS. Yeah. We kind of just let them do it. I believe that. It was done by, I can't even remember who the group was, but they were Variety TV guys. I'm sure he remembers a few of them. We let them use the characters and stuff, and that probably wasn't the smartest thing to do, but you learn from those experiences. Yeah.

I think they even used some of the footage from the movie. At the end. It looks like some of the space stuff. It's like a highlight reel.
