This first one was the one that started it all. The 'Early Bird Certificate Package'. I can't imagine how exciting it must have been for the young Star Wars fan to see this on the TV screen for the first time.
This one (starring Anthony Daniels himself) was aired during the 1978 Holiday Special if I'm not mistaken. Funny how commercials back in the day were aimed at parents rather than the kids themselves. 'May the Force Be With You... And Your Children!'
Me too! Eee Eee Eee!

Yeah, like Han Solo's never been in a cantina before! ;)
It's always fun to see these old ads, which would capture my attention just like everything Star Wars-related did back then.
Amazing. I believe there's even a vintage SW toys commercial with a very young Christian Slater...
Oops! Anyway, the ad with a young Rick Schroeder is the second clip from the bottom of this very post.
Who could forget all of these great commercials when the Star Wars figures were first coming out. I never realized how much they made you want to buy them all. Even now just watching these it makes me want to suit up with my lightsaber and take down some Storm Troopers!
