Horrendous Crime Committed

That is a dire situation indeed.
But all is not lost. Quick! Boil some eggplant, lettuce and broccoli together into a shapeless, flavorless mass and serve it as a terrible no good very bad snack. In this way, they will always mentally associate the Holiday Special with awful taste and will go forth into the world as sane and well-adjusted sentients.

I've just put the holiday special on for my kids (4&2) and not only are they watching it but also enjoying it
I am a terrible parent what have I done???
Worry not, no crime was committed. For if there was, I would be committing a crime too when I eventually subject my (future kids) to the Holiday Special
To see if they have souls?
This is what I see happening.
You are called into the principles office from kindergarten (pre-K, whatever.), you arrive to see that one of your children has a bloody nose and it looks their hair was rubbed into the ground.
"What happened darling." You say.
"I was telling my friends about Chewbakka's family, and then Jimmy said that I made it up and that I was a liar." Your child explains through a crooked xylophone of broken teeth. "But I'm not a liar, I'm not a liar daddy, tell them I'm not a liar. No one believes me."

And then you lie too (in front of the principal no less) because you don't want him/her to know you've seen the holiday special. "Chewbacca's family? Stop lying honey."
All the more reason to not let kids watch TV before they turn 5 at least; you never know what their primitive monkey brains will latch on to.
(I know, it can't be easy; I probably couldn't manage it myself. But I wasn't shown Star Wars until I was 6, and my nerdery developed just fine. No harm in sticking to nature documentaries and stuff until then...)

So... Battle for Endor next?
Parents could get away with this sort of thing in the 70s, but it doesn't fly anymore....
^ You know how repressed memories work. We'll see Saul and family on Dr Phil in 10 years, where they'll relive the torture they suffered over this. Oprah will join him for the occassion and give him her patented Oprah vocal throw down scolding complete with head shake.
