15:25 - 15:54 I actually did this myself. It is a full HD reconstruction of a VHS recorded TV spot I found on KZbin at some point. Unfortunately, that VHS source is gone. Perhaps I can someday do another version of this spot.

[@Jurassic1993Park]

If you posted it here on KZbin, then yeah, I might have actually gotten it from you. I honestly can't remember though since I posted this quite a while ago. I am starting to credit my sources in my recent Trailers & TV Spots uploads now so folks can find these channels on their own, so I hope pinning this comment on here makes up for it. 👍

Before the internet...before mobile phones....all you had were previews at the cinema, articles in magazines and word of mouth... then tv snippets. It built up excitement and passion to go see it ...great days....

[@gterrymed]

YES. Now you can get torrent files of screener copies. I may be over the hill, but movies aren't as thematically dynamic as they once were; compare Superman 1978 to The Man of Steel I feel like I'm watching a xerox copy of a painting

[@Harri927]

One of my favorite movies of all time. The Original Star Wars Trilogy is a masterpiece.

[@satan6548]

What people who didn't see this movie back then will never understand is how original and exciting all this was. Every clip of that trailer left me wondering what I had just seen. Darth Vader, Chewbacca, lightsabers, all of it was perplexing and captivating.

So blessed i saw Star Wars back in the 70's - I'll never forget the sheer joy we all felt as kids then and how it opened up our imaginations, just to look up at those starry summer night skies and imagine all of this really happening out there! Blessed! 🙏🏽❤️

[@russellkellett9535]

The one that started it all the original and still the best love it

[@YourLocalGummiBearsFan]

Those Trailers and TV Spots of The OG Star Wars Trilogy are Much Better Than Those Crappy Modern Trailers!

Love the classical music on the 1st trailer

[@Jurassic1993Park]

Yeaaaaaaaaah, that one didn't age quite well lmao

[@4a1mmingorance49]

@@Jurassic1993Park The most funny part of all is that I have read the original comic book of _The Empire Strikes Back,_ and the put an deleted scene of Leia trying to kiss Luke. Before 1983, everyone sugested that concept!

This movie would change the world

[@Jurassic1993Park]

It's still on the list, the same as your other requests. But I have a lot of requests from other people to get to as well (just browse the comment section for my Madagascar upload as an example), so it might take a while. Just please be patient. 🙏
