I might be on of a handful of people who like this album but I just came across an interesting interview about the album.
http://m.music.cbc.ca/blogs/2014/12/The-first-ever-oral-history-of-Christmas-in-the-Stars-Star-Wars-Christmas-Album
This part was of particular interest:
The lost songs
Bongiovi: I don’t have the album in front of me, I don’t have it anymore unfortunately, but I think we probably cut 18 things and then eliminated some [nine] of them. Whatever’s on the album is what made the record ... I don’t have [the masters or originals], they would be with the record company, RSO, I don’t know who picked up his catalogue so I don’t know where they might be, but there’s some more original stuff out there. There are lost Star Wars sound recordings out there somewhere.
Daniels: It’s one of my proudest moments: it didn’t win an Emmy or a Tony Award or any of that and it didn’t become a long-running musical, but I think there’s scope for it and I think there’s time for a re-release, possibly a remix, I don’t know ... I think basically we ought to bring out a special edition, a special three-box set director’s cut.... There is a quest for fans everywhere to dig up beaches, golf courses, find where these things are buried. It will never happen again. I hope [Bongiovi] was proud of it. It was one of those giggle things.
Yeston: I actually heard them and it’s really good they can’t be found. [Laughs]
So I wonder if Lucasfilm has them? Would this be Disney territory now? Intrada?

One of my guilty pleasures for sure, really a terrible album that I listen to and enjoy every xmas. Knowing that there are more tracks out there makes me long for an expansion too (although if that awful 8 minute finale made the cut, I hate to think how bad the tracks that didn't make the cut are!). Most of this album is kind of goofy fun, with some weird crossovers into our reality (like C-3PO singing about Einstein and Christopher Columbus). The last 8 minute track is excruciating though. It almost makes me hate the whole holiday season more than anything else...

By the same token, I still can't believe Empire and Jedi aren't available digitally.  Totally sucks.
