If you know your Star Wars history, then the words "holiday special" will most likely strike fear into your heart.
Produced soon after the success of the original 1977 movie, this festive TV film is utterly ridiculous - but the one positive is it has inspired an unofficial Genesis / Mega Drive adaptation several decades later.
Borrowing visuals from the SNES Super Star Wars games, this fan-made project has been developed by: masterlinkueibr, with music from EdmusPrime. It uses earok's Scorpion Engine.
It's intended to be a loose adaptation of the TV special, and you can download it for free from the link in the tweet above.
This isn't the only fan-game Genesis owners have been gifted this festive season - yesterday saw the release of Batman Returns MD.

Personally, I love the holiday special and it’s a crying shame that it’s not available to watch officially.
I love Super Star Wars too and this looks incredible. I like that it completely “gets” the philosophy of “fail, or fail harder; there is no try”.
GIVE US THE STUPIDITY, WE DESERVE THE STUPIDITY!
My favorite thing about the Holiday Special is the more Star Wars Disney makes, the better thr special gets
"... the words "holiday special" will most likely strike fear into your heart."
Typo, you spelled "joy" wrong
@MontyMole Technically it is available to watch officially, albeit with RiffTrax commentary over it.
Even if there was an OFFICIAL official release, I'd still watch the bootlegs. I can't watch it without the commercials, it's just too painful. Gotta have some catchy '70s jingles to break up the Harvey Korman.
@Asaki
Plus, with an official release, we'd never know about "Fighting the Frizzies at 11."
Absolutely wild
In the trailer on itch page it shows that one of the kashyyyk levels is just tree top town from donkey king country 😂
How many levels did he end up including? Looks very impressive.
