Auction History Result 8r047 STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL foil 9x11 TV presskit supplement 1978 the most obscure Star Wars! Date Sold 8/16/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Television Presskit Supplement (measures 8 1/2" x 11"; 2 pages on a single sheet) (Learn More) The Star Wars Holiday Special, the 1978 Steve Binder made-for-TV science fiction (sci-fi) adventure family musical ("'May this holiday always be a day of joy, in which we reaffirm our courage, our dedication, and more than all else, our love for each other... this is the promise of the Tree of Life'") starring Mark Hamill (as Luke Skywalker), Harrison Ford (as Han Solo), Carrie Fisher (as Princess Leia), Anthony Daniels (as C-3PO), Peter Mayhew (as Chewbacca), Kenny Baker (as R2-D2), James Earl Jones (as the voice of Darth Vader), Bea Arthur (as a singing Mos Eisley bartender), Art Carney (as a repairman), Jefferson Starship, and Harvey Korman. Note that this TV special (made at the height of Star Wars mania) takes place on the planet of the Wookies, where Chewbacca is visiting his son "Lumpy", his 400 year-old father "Itchy", and his wife "Malla", where they are celebrating "Life Day", the most important holiday on the Wookie calendar. Not surprisingly, this wacky addition to the Star Wars pantheon has become infamous since it first aired. We don't know that any posters of any sort were ever made for it, but we know that a presskit was made for it, which contained some TV stills, and a special foil promo (which we have seen described as a "mini mylar poster/flyer"), and that presskit (or any of the contents) might be the only first release items any Star Wars completionist could ever get from this for their collection! Rumor has it that George Lucas tried (and failed) to buy up all master copies to make sure it was never broadcast again! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that, as noted above, we don't think any posters of any kind were made for this, and this foil promo (which is printed on a reflective silver foil, and you can actually see yourself in it when you view it straight on, because it has mirror qualities) comes from the original presskit, which may be the only promotional item that was created. Also note that portions of this item are printed on a foil material and is very difficult to accurately photograph, but is quite striking when viewed in person! All of the silver foil background areas appear white in our image, but we assure you that they are actually a silver foil, and they are quite nice. Also note that foil material scuffs quite easily, and is difficult to find in nice condition. Condition: very good. There are some slight smudges on both sides of the promo, and a small crease in the bottom right corner, but it has likely survived in about as good condition as one might hope! Remember that, as noted above, the foil does not photograph correctly, and it appears white in our image Learn More about condition grades
