Probably an audiophile or tech magazine of the era. Possibly Mechanix Illustrated or Popular Science. I may have seen it in an issue of Heavy Metal from around that time as well. It would have run in a wide gamut of publications aimed at an male demographic with money to spemd. Possibly Playboy as well?
Where were you in '77?
Found an ebay auction for one clipped out of an April 20th 1978 issue of Rolling Stone.

There are a couple others, but I can’t make out the text.

cool find ! That ad says music , sound effects and narration . I wonder if that means it is for a reel to reel version of " The Story Of Star Wars " or it means the dialogue itself in addition to the music and sound effects . I also wonder if it is a condensed version , or the whole film if the latter is the case .
Nice find 😃
At https://goldenoldieads.wordpress.com/2012/01/29/star-wars-promo-1978-teac-tape-decks - in the comments section there is someone who claims to have created that very promotion for TEAC - and got to meet some of the Star Wars team.
The ad also appears on here - https://museumofmagneticsoundrecording.org/UniqueB.html - not much info, unfortunately (though still some cool and intriguing other content and gadgets).

Interesting! Was that taken from a newspaper?

The one I saw on eBay was taken out of a magazine, or at least looked like it was taken out of one, the pictures and colours looked sharper and there were staple marks on the side:

I just received word from the guy who previously owned this listing, and he said that this particular copy was sourced from a Playboy magazine.
