Have Yourself a Star Wars Christmas with...CHRISTMAS IN THE STARS!

You were expecting the Star Wars Christmas Special?
Released in 1980, this Christmas album was produced by Meco Monardo (who had previously-recorded Star Wars and Other Galactic Funk).
Anthony Daniels voiced C-3PO and Ben Burtt provided the sound effects he created for Star Wars to bring R2-D2 and Chewbacca to life! 
'What Can You Get a Wookiee for Christmas (When He Already Owns a Comb)' reached #69 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop chart in 1980. (It was the third digitally-recorded single in chart history.)
Trivia: Jon Bon Jovi made his first recording ever on this album (credited as John Bongiovi), singing lead vocals on 'R2-D2 We Wish You A Merry Christmas.' Bon Jovi did it as a favor to his cousin Tony Bongiovi, one of the producers of the album.
Here's John (Finn) Boyega hearing this album for the first time!
(For the record, I got the album when it came out..and still have it!)
