AH Challenge/WI: The Star Wars Holiday Special Doesn't Suck?

As bad as the prequals may have been, most people consider the Star Wars holiday special to b the worst thing set in the Star Wars universe to ever see the screen. Granted, I've never seen it, but based on everything I've heard and some clips I've seen, it really looks horrible. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that some of the characters from the original Star Wars were in it (albeit briefly for the most part), I probably wouldn't even think it was Star Wars.

So, I have both a challenge and a question for you all...

A) How would you change the Star Wars Holiday Special so that it wouldn't suck?

B) If it doesn't suck, would this at all change the Star Wars franchise? Might we see more Star Wars specials made for TV down the road?
 
Erm...reduce it's length to fifteen minutes? We've been over this before, and it's quite a stretch of the imagination. Make it a series of cartoon shorts?

Well, regardless, Lucas didn't have much direct involvement in it one way or the other and was preoccupied with preproduction on TESB at the time, so I guess it may be more accepted in spinoff material.
