Auction Information: This auction is for a complete and original 1978 Star Wars (A New Hope) 35mm theatrical promo trailer. It's a rare, vintage promotional reel, featuring a "Winner of 7 Academy Awards" title card and a July 21, 1978 release date. Used for the film's post-Oscar summer re-release, these trailers are characterized by FUJICOLOR/EASTMAN edge markings, showing repeated logo cards and high-quality 35mm film. This is a very rare piece of Star Wars cinema history as it was intended for promotional theater use only and not widely circulated with other trailers. Many were discarded, destroyed, or have suffered damaged over time. Key details regarding this 35mm trailer include: Produced specifically for limited theaters to promote the summer 1978 re-release, following the film's success at the 50th Academy Awards. It prominently highlights the 7 Academy Award wins, multiple logo cards, and features a July 21 re-release date. This is an authentic 35mm film containing FUJICOLOR or EASTMAN edge markings consistent with late-1970s film stock.

We are not certain if this was the original can as it is larger than the reel. We have carefully padded the inside of the can for secure shipping.

Outstanding seller! The item was exactly as described, arrived quickly, and was packaged with great care to ensure it stayed in perfect condition. Pricing was very competitive, and they were open to reasonable negotiations, making the transaction smooth and stress-free. Communication was excellent throughout the process, and they were friendly and professional at every step. I couldn’t have asked for a better buying experience. Highly recommend this seller and would deal with them again!
Babu Frik is my son’s absolute favorite character, so this card was a big deal in our household—and it did not disappoint! The card arrived in fantastic condition, packaged with the care of a true Jedi archivist (or maybe a very dedicated droid). Shipping was faster than a podracer on Boonta Eve, and the description was spot on. My son lit up like a lightsaber when he saw it—seriously, it was pure “Hey hey!” Babu Frik joy. Excellent seller, great value, and quality all the way.
Great Experience!!! The card I received was in excellent condition and was exactly as described by the seller. Shipping cost was fair and the card was packaged extremely well ensuring that I received the card without any damage. The card I purchased was a good value and looks amazing in my GPK collection. Could not be happier with my purchase and I would definitely purchase from this seller in the future.
