Vintage Palitoy News Report:

[Thundershot]

I think this report was first broadcast in 1982, according to the description, I'm guessing around the build-up to Christmas time?

When I initially saw the description for the clip I thought it was going to be this old nugget:

From Wikipedia:
The original teaser trailer for the film carried the name Revenge of the Jedi. In December 1982 Lucas decided that “Revenge” was not appropriate and returned to his original title. However, by that time thousands of "Revenge" teaser posters (with artwork by Drew Struzan) had been printed and distributed. (Note that the poster reverses the correct color of the light sabers; Luke is seen wielding a red lightsaber while Vader wields a blue one. Lucasfilm stopped the shipping of the posters and sold the remaining stock of 6,800 posters to Star Wars fan club members for $9.50. These posters now sell for $250 – $500 depending on condition.

Wow, never knew that, a movie title running change.

I know this is a bit unrelated but I was in Asda yesterday and noticed the shelf labels with the stock codes for the Star Wars Angry Birds sets all had "bharvest angry birds" on them, nice little nod to Blue Harvest there

Great finds T'Shot, splendid.

Great stuff. Never seen that first clip before. Hilarious viewing now!
"20 million people have seen Star Wars...but obviously not me because I pronounce it Darth Varrder"!! Hee hee.

I love the total curve ball for the upcoming 'Revenge of the Jedi' movie where kids will get to see Admiral Ackbar drive an ATAT....eh?

This one's interesting, an old marketing video from Kenner...note how many sequels are planned:

That's awesome. So we can expect six more flicks.
