I find it interesting that Marge Be Not Proud never made its way to one of the two Simpsons' christmas discs (happens to be my favorite christmas episode from the series).

What references did those episodes make? I dont rmember them being as such... it must be just very quick references or Im really not remembering what happened.
Dog of Death was the one where Mr Burns got Santa's Little Helper after running away?
Marge Not Be Proud, I dont remember
Secret War of Lisa was the one she joined the military camp, right?
Mayor to the Mob is the only one I know that had Mark Hamill... didint it?
Dog of Death was the one where Mr Burns got Santa's Little Helper after running away?
Marge Not Be Proud, I dont remember

I don't remember any SW references in any of those first 3 eps (Mayored to the Mob has the obvious Hamill guest spot).

I have the UK VHS of this - Mayored To The Mob (the one with Mark Hamill) is great, but thats the only Star Wars episode there? 
I think its' because on the VHS there's a "Star Wars Simpsons moments" reel..., it only last about 2 minutes or something. 
Actually Lucas is referred to as Lucas in the Mark Hamill episode.
Mayor: Quick use your llightsabre!
Mark: And break it? George Lucas makes me pay for these!
From "Dog of Death"
Marge: Homer youre going to have to give up beer for a while. Bart [this is obviously fake] YOU'LL HAVE TO GIVE UP YOUR JEDI MIND CONTROL LESSONS.
Bart: No I wont.
Marge: No you wont.
From "Lisa's Rival"
Skinner (looking at Raloh's "diorama"): Pre-packaged Star Wars characters still in their display box? Its Luke.. and Obi-Wan! And my favorite Chewie, they're ALL HERE!

"The Secret War of Lisa Simpson" is this one (finale season8):
Bart's class goes to the police station on a field trip and while he is there, he just can't resist pulling a prank; meanwhile, Lisa's class is not challenging for her at all. Chief Wiggum meets with the Homer and Marge and recommends military school for Bart. Homer and Marge tell Bart they are going to Disneyland, but trick him and take him to military school. Bart does not want to be there from the get-go, but Lisa sees the discipline the cadets receive and decides to stay there with Bart. She is the first female ever to join the academy, so she gets a hard time from the other cadets. Bart starts to fit in after a while, and tries to keep the fact that he cares about her a secret. A final challenge awaits Bart and Lisa; they must pass a physical test called "The Eliminator". Bart helps Lisa to train in secret and when they both pass, they go home.(IMDB)
Very weak selection for a "theme" IMO. And I thought those South Park collections were pushing things with DVDs like "Timmy!"
What SHOULD be on there is "Co-Dependent's Day":
Homer, Lisa and Bart get tickets for the latest chapter of "Cosmic Wars." The movie wasn't what they hoped it would be. Marge suggests that the kids write a letter expressing their dissatisfaction to creator Randall Curtis. Two weeks later when they get a stock letter in reply and they ask if they can go to the "Cosmic Wars Ranch" and complain in person. The family (sans Maggie) goes to Northern California. While Marge and Homer go on a winery tour, Bart and Lisa go to the ranch to find the creator and make their feelings known. After Bart and Lisa have their meeting with Curtis they rejoin their parents, who they find are both drunk on free samples they had at the winery. Marge and Homer are really enjoying their wine together, but following one their nights of drinking Marge finds her with a hangover. They agree that she can stop drinking and they can still have fun together. They go to Oktoberfest and Marge almost gets away with not drinking, but drink she does and they both leave the drunk, with Homer driving. After he drives their car off the road, Homer decides to make it look like Marge (who is somewhat passed out) was behind the wheel. The police arrest Marge; Homer is nowhere to be found at the time and he later bails her out. Barney suggests a rehab clinic for Marge to start attending. Homer finds out that Marge is going to be gone for a month, he asks Flanders to watch the kids while he goes to break her out of rehab. He finds her and confesses his guilt, which makes her angry and she starts drinking again. After some heavy drinking, Marge realizes that it isn't drinking that she liked; it was being together with Homer. She gets Homer and together they leave, after Homer promises to cut out drinking all clear liquors. (IMDB)

Hey rfduncan I know that "Lisa's Rival" is not in this set (it is in the "Sex, Lies and the Simpsons set), I meant that Lisa's Rival is the episode that Skinner/Diorama clip is from (featured in the star wars references at the start of Bart Wars). Right at the end you can hear Ralph say "I beat the smart kids.. I beat the smart kids.. (falls over) - I bent my Wookie!"
