Misc. NBC Star Wars News Coverage 1977-1983
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLcCWWkC9E4&t - from the Mr. Minderbinder YouTube channel (11 mins long).

As someone who grew up after the original trilogy had become established classics it’s always funny to me to see how snarky, and even harshly critical contemporary reports could be. Especially funny is how both the 1977 and 1980 report features the exact same comment that the movies have “no moral, no message.” I think Joseph Campbell would have a thing or two to say about that. One of the YT comments summarized this video pretty accurately; “Reporters calling Star Wars fans weird nerds for 11 minutes.”
