Don't Be Alarmed: Vintage Star Wars Radio Spots

Email Archives
February 4, 2007

Presented here are the first five radio commercials, or "spots", created for Star Wars in 1977. It's interesting to note that the campaign didn't really seem to have a clue as to how to sell Star Wars to the public, much less get their facts straight -- one spot mentions a barroom brawl in hyperspace (??). They did effectively sample the exotic soundtrack, however, with various creature, laser, starship and lightsaber sound effects.

As a bonus, we're also including a rare radio ad for Burger Chef Star Wars posters, which became available in September, 1977.
