Star Wars TV trailer 1977

An original television trailer from 1977 (an advance teaser perhaps, as it is missing the iconic John Williams music score) for the very first and soon to be classic "Star Wars" film, written and directed by George Lucas.

What music was used for this?

[robatsea2009]

@CDickerson Probably a piece of library music - I don't recognize it but it's definitely not something that was composed for the movie

I've been looking everywhere for this!

thanks. do you have any more Star Wars tv spots?



[robatsea2009]

@moviedudeinc Unfortunately not for the first film, but I will be posting one for "Empire"

[unmisfitminor101]

@robatsea2009 will you be posting one for "jedi"?

[robatsea2009]

@unmisfitminor101 If I find one among my recordings, yes

I remember this ad so well - I was 13 and floored by the effects and how "real" the film looked when compared to other sci-fi films of the time. I actually saw SW on a double feature with an awful British flick (The Terranauts!) and sat through that TWICE just to see SW again.

i am surprised this hasn't gotten a take down order yet.

@CDickerson The music used in the Star Wars trailer is the first movement from Vivaldi's The Four Seasons (Winter).

Wow, this is great! I was seven when this was released and saw it numerous times in the theater, but do not recall the ads on TV.

Was it really that technically difficult to produce a quality sound piece for this amazing video preview back in '77..the music and sound is just very lackluster

@moviedudeinc there are a few versions of this advert. search " Star Wars (1977) Trailer" its the full version, the music and sound effects are really haunting. great clip.
