Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) Trailers & TV Spots

[@monoval1944]

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

@@gterrymedyou’re one of *those* people I see

[@gterrymed]

@SR.PlayAlot64 yep. Buy every magazine with even the mention of Star Wars on its cover. I can't remember if Starlog magazine was out then. Famous Monsters of Filmland definitely covered it. Anticipation, now we can get workprint torrents from Budapest a month before the release

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.

[@russellkellett9535]

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

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

[@Harri927]

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

Love the classical music on the 1st trailer

[@neonvandal8770]

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! 🙏🏽❤️

Episode IV - A New Hope It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire. During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire’s ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet. Pursued by the Empire’s sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy….

[@robertkees6048]

This is episode 1, I know cause I was there in 1977 and I saw it with my own eyes.

[@robertkees6048]

Yeaaaaaaaaah, that one didn't age quite well lmao

[@TarbosauriodePinto]

@@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!

[@nathancruz9172]

2:03 years back before, we get PG for children, it used to say not suitable for preteens.

[@marcuswainright2251]

when you'll do kung fu panda trailers and tv spots maybe like next week just curious?

[@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. 🙏

The film that started it all. And even for a film made in 1977, it still holds up. And you don't need to tinker it with all that sloppy, cheap, and fake CGI.

[@Veryrealangrybirds]

The special edition sort of kills the charm of the original. I don't know what George Lucas is thinking.
