"... An adventure unlike anything on your planet. STAR WARS. A story of a boy, a girl, and a universe. It's a big, sprawling space saga of rebellion and romance. It's a spectacle, light years ahead of its time. It's an epic of heroes, villains, and aliens from a thousand worlds. A billion years in the making... STAR WARS."
This is the original 1977 trailer for Episode IV. It doesn't do the film justice but I still love it. The classic Star Wars films are almost better in their original videocassette form. All scratchy and sort of bleached out, the colours of the lightsabers going to white. It changed people's lives when it first came out. From that first shot, when the Star Destroyer filled the screen... what a wonderful thing.
