1981 Empire Strikes Back TV Commercial - RESTORED

Earlier this year I used audio I recorded back in 1981 to recreate this spot...guessing what the scenes and graphics looked like. Now ,seanmc1114 has uploaded the actual commercial (Keep 'em coming Sean!!) ...which served as a blueprint for an almost frame accurate recreation using adobe and the 2004 DVDs. Enjoy!

@MoultonProductions It's from the re-release in 1981.  "Back", meaning the movie is out again...so is Yoda.

This is the First Time one of the movies Harrison Ford is in is coming back (i think) Because 1 year later, Raiders of the lost Ark came back

@ZipZagginGallifrey The movie was re-released in 1981 (how I'd missed it I'll never know). The announcer stating "Yoda's back" was alluding to the fact that the MOVIE was back in theaters for a limited time.
