Star Wars - A New Hope The first television broadcast in the UK. VHS recorded in 1981 at Rodgers Villas, Omagh The commercials / adverts only Uncut version - • Video
I was a little kid when I was first shown Star Wars on a videotape. It had been recorded off Channel 2 (New Zealand) and I think it was on in the last week of 1986. I watched the tape a million times. And the ads appeared in the same places in the film, as this UK one.
This is actually from October 24th 1982, not 1981 as I suspected. A quick check of my TV Times, also confirms that Harry's Game and The Car was shown on Wednesday October 27th. Good to see, nonetheless!

I'll always regret taping over this premiere. Happy memories. Thanks for sharing.

Should have been a Christmas premiere
This was really interesting. Different sound dubs for Aunt Beru, and the Imperial officer talking to Tarkin over the intercom.
