Star Wars - Pre Movie Commercial

A promo for the 1977 movie "Star Wars," before it's November 23, 1988 airing on CBS, the night before Thanksgiving.

This tape is not mine - my dad found it at my grandfather's house after he passed away, and bought it home. I found it last year while rummaging through the family VHS tape collection to see what goodies we had. This set wasn't the only find I made that day - I also found the "Iron Eagle" commercial breaks from WPIX, as well as all of the logos I uploaded en masse today.

This airing of Star Wars was on my local CBS station, WCBS 2 in New York.

Enjoy!

I think it's pretty cool. It's a very good promo, It feeds the fans excitement to finally see this on tv. I knew only one person who had a vcr when this was on. I had no idea that very soon, the world was about to be invaded and conqered by vcrs. As years pass, Thses old clips will be a gold mine to the past. In many persepectives. Thanks for uploading this.

This was the last time CBS aired "Star Wars".

@cartoongameshowman - I did not know that, but I do recall seeing it on USA in the early 90s. This was the only "Star Wars" film I've seen (I'm not a fan), and the only reason I had to was because my older cousin was watching it on my grandparents' TV, and the other TV was on the screened-in back porch...and it was winter.
