I'm still waiting for Hasbro to make an Ackmena action figure (HINT! HINT!) so I can act out my own cantina dramas with Han Solo, Hammerhead and IG-88. (Trust me, I have an awesome scenario playing out in my head for some time now.)
Her standard farewell to cantina bar patrons was, "Come back soon, I'll be waiting." I'd like to think that she's in that big cantina in the sky, waiting for us with a few sage words of advice and a pitcher of her best libation.

Common perception seems to have changed in that regard, but there used to be a time when it was accepted that the Holiday Special cantina was in Anchorhead, and therefore was not the same location where Han shot first in the movie.
Officially...well, none of that exists within the Star Wars universe because Lucas hated the Holiday Special more than even the two Ewoks movies, or the Ewoks/Droids cartoons.

Sure, tell that to Lak Sivrak. Oh, and the Infinities stories.

The Holiday Special is genius.
If you are going to do bad and mundane, this is how you do it!
Loved it as a kid.
Bought a bootleg VHS in H.S.
Watch it every year around the holidays.
I mean come on! It has VR exotic dancers for grandpa!

Unfortunately, in it's own way the special foreshadowed the coming of the Ewoks and Jar Jar.
