Bea Arthur turned 86 years old last week and to honor her we tracked down a clip of her in "The Star Wars Holiday Special." Seriously, Bea Arthur is part of the Star Wars universe.

The two-hour special that debuted Nov. 17, 1978, has been called "the worst two hours of television ever." The plot involved Han Solo and Chewbacca going to Chewy's home world for some Wookie holiday.

In addition to the main story line, there were a bunch of skits featuring the likes of Harvey Korman and Jefferson Starship. Seriously.

Here's Bea Arthur as Ackmena, the owner of the Creature Catina.

"Short memory, eh Thorq. Short memory!"
