Much of this is already on youtube, but this is a complete set of the lead up to the movie, commercials and bumpers. There are a number of celebrity bumpers that I haven't seen elsewhere. The quality of this tape may be better than some of the other recordings online.

That's just it. The shared experience of watching a movie in a theater, or during a national television premire, made blockbuster films a cultural event. Even when edited for TV, it was such a big deal when King Kong,Superman, Close Encounters, Jaws 2, Alien, Raiders of The Lost Ark, Star Trek The Motion Picture, Apocalypse Now,First Blood, Rocky, or Star Wars, hit national television before the home video VCR revolution really took off in the late 80's.

I actually remember watching this when it originally aired. I was 6 years old, and in kindergarten. I first got to see it 3 years earlier when my Mom's friend, who owned a bar that she played pool at, bought a laserdisc player and rented a laserdisc copy of Star Wars to play for everyone in the bar that evening. We didn't get a VCR in our house until 1989, so it was only tv airings when I got to see it. While we did have HBO, and so I did get to see it a multitude of times prior to this showing on broadcast tv, this was indeed a special occasion viewing.

1984: Technologically backwards, but socially and emotionally more advanced and mature. 2024: Technologically advanced, but socially and emotionally less advanced and mature. If you could have lived in this time (I did) you would see what an amazing time the 80s was. It was a time of experimentation in music, space science, entertainment, and computer technology. And so many more things!! The minimum wage was $3.35 USD (About $8.35 USD now) per hour. A Big Mac meal was less than 3 dollars, meat was pennies on the pound, and people weren't out to be greedy or rob you at every corner. It wasn't perfect, but if you compare it to now? It was paradise.

I was 14 years old when Star Wars came out. If it was up to me, I wouldn’t have seen it. I’d seen the movie trailer. It just didn’t interest me enough to go watch it. A family friend was the one who took my sister and I to the movies just about every weekend back then. That weekend, he decided that this was the movie we were going to watch. I remember sitting at the dining room table looking at the movie section in the newspaper. I don’t remember if we had to stand in a long line to get into the theater. What I’ll never forget, was looking up over my right shoulder and back to the projection room. I wanted to to see if the Star Destroyer that was chasing Princess Leia’s in the opening sequence was coming out of there. That ship was bigger than anything that I’d ever seen on screen and it went on and on…. In 1980, when Empire Strikes Back was released, I remember getting really angry at our family friend because we were late and he still stood in line for popcorn. We missed the previews and the first 10 minutes of the movie. 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

I can't remember if I actually watched when it finally came on TV, but I do remember going to see it in the theater when I was 7. I can't recall how I got interested in it, but my parents got me the book before the movie came out. Mark Hamill was my very first crush. To this day, I still consider Star Wars one of the greatest films of all time.

that whole time on set, nobody bothered to adjust Mr. Hamill's bow tie hanging BELOW his shirt collar.

This is a great little time capsule of television. It's interesting to watch the mini documentaries, stingers, news shorts and, of course, the commercials. It's also like a terrible fever dream were you're being constantly promised Star Wars but you never actually get it!

40 years ago, people have seen it 70 times. I have maybe seen it 30 or 40 times? I’m 46. I have probably seen Robocop more.

Back when America was still a country and the middle class was thriving. Decades before Disney ruined the Star Wars brand and politics tore everyone apart. It’s all very heartbreaking. ❤️‍🩹

WOW! It wasn’t on network tv until after Jedi was released theatrically. Really was when network premieres were special. Now a movie is released in theaters and available to watch at home the next day.

Interesting that the UK premiered Star Wars on television first; 24th October, 1982. But that's what George wanted...

Makes sense to get audiences excited for ROTJ. In the states SW and Empire were re-released almost every year since their original releases. I first saw Empire in 1981 and Stripes was playing in the theater next door.

Everyone was on the same page back then so events were much larger, nowadays Everyone has to many different opinions and options to a point that they now seem to hate everything. It seem to have started in 99 with episode 1 somehow

Quite simply, the recipe for episode 1 had changed from what worked for episodes 4-6, and a bunch of people noticed.

They actually put commercials between "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." and the opening crawl. That's how you know the network was going to milk every possible dollar from the broadcast.

Sorry I think that was how I edited out the movie since obviously I can’t include the movie on KZbin. I left in a few seconds of the movie when it cut to commercials so you had some idea of where it was.
