Star wars 5th Anniversery 1982

Just found a 5th anniversery trailer of Star wars

am i the only one that thinks GL takes the SW films to serously ??

All he had to do is make them show them and forget about them but no he brings them out again and again !!!

I diagree with you on this release. This was pre-video, and surely pre-DVD. I am sure a lot of people wanted to see it again. I know I did. I was eight when I saw SW for the first time, it was great to see it again when I was 13... Today you get another shot at seeing a film six months later on DVD...
And mind you, after Gone with the Wind, SW was the mostly visited film of all time then. GWTW had several re-releases.

I am pretty sure Star Wars has had more than several.

nice and retro................

before the dark times

before the PT

1982 was not pre video. We had VHS in my house then and star wars I am pretty sure had come out on VHS at that time.

I had a VCR then i still got one

I got SW -ANH on Betamax and i think it has 84 on the inlay so i guess it was out on rental roundabout then
i may be wrong though
Jedi didnt come out on VHS til 85 if i remember correctly

I rememebr 1984 as well. Maybe that was Europe though.

1984 is a blur...

1984 the year you could get a Yak Face,Anaman,Anakin and Luke Stormtrooper all together in a sealed bag for £1 in Woolworths

I did

and did i give em away?

yip

and did i buy them again at ridiculous prices 20 years on?

yip i did

😂

😂

Regrets much?

He's trying not to.

totally
i know someone who has their sons stash of vintage figures up in the old attic ready to sell to the highest bidder
cursed net
now eveyone is wise to the value of old Yak face

Lucky for you.

I agree with queeq.the fact that it was was even pre video back then star wars fans were grateful and excited to see them brought back.I know this from talks with my older brother.I myself am grateful they re rereleased them and brought them back because that was the only way I got to see star wars and empire strikes back on the big screen before they made the special edition re release 20 years later because I was 7 years old in 82 and I remember how seeing those movies on the big screen was like the most magical movie experince in my life.I still dont think any other movie has ever measured up to that magical day I experienced as a kid at the movie theaters.

thanks so much for posting that for us,brings back a lot of fond childhood memorys for me. 🙂

Wow... wonderful post. I feel the same way.

I have only a few great movie memories. Seeing Sw for the first time in 1977 is one of them, seeing Empire in 1980 another, seeing them both n 1982 another, as well as seeing the restored Lawrence of Arabia on 70mm in a Paris theater.

nothing happen in 83 for you then Queeq ?

my first great movie memory was the rerelease of Planet Of The Apes roundabout 75
then of course SW,ESB and Jedi first time round
CE3k inbetween and probably Jurrassic Park too afterwards
recently not so many
i remember the memories of the buzz of TPM before the scroll started followed by the crushing disapointment and just plain disbelief at what was happening on screen
