Holy...! Did this actually air like the one with Artoo sneaking a cigarette? I have to wonder if this was filmed during the Holiday Special shoot. And who knew Muftak coudn't hold his ale?

Where were you in '77?

As far as parody commercials go, far and away the best is the UK commercial for "Tunes", which I believe was out sometime in the 90s. I haven't seen this on a DVD, but it belongs on ADM's spoofs collection. Anyone here who hasn't seen it should seek it out.

Daveytod - this site will allow you to save the video files on sites like youtube and google video.

Not sure of youtubes file format, but google video are .flc which are a video contained in a macromedia type file. The folks at http://www.videohelp.com/ might have found a way to convert these file types.

Someone with a youtube subscription, PM the uploader and send him over this way, maybe a bigger version can be found. Looks like the original was film, maybe this was an in-theater PSA, the transfer looks professionally done, but that's a complete guess.

Garrett, I think it's time you and I collaborated again on a new project... Star Wars commercials. Let's get in touch.

My latest obsession has been in collecting information (and video, where possible) on:

1. all the Kenner commmercials that have aired
2. all the other SW commercials that have aired

I have the drunk driving commercial in good quality, as well as some other nifty ones. The ultimate goal, of course, is to collect them all on a DVD in the best possible quality, along with hopefully info on the commercials and when they aired. I've been wanting to do this for a long time now.

Hi daveytod... yeah, let's join forces on this and see what we can come up with. I've worked up some preliminary lists of all the commercials I know of. Right now I'm including *everything*, but as the project progresses we may want to break it up into "Classic Era" and "Prequel Era" commercials. The important thing right now is to know what we're looking for so we know _what_ to look for, hence creating the most complete list of ads that we can come up with. Also, finding air dates for those commercials can be challenging, but I've tried to do that as well.

Once I'm at home where I have my list, I'll post it here for everyone's perusal and comments.

Sounds like a good project. I doubt I'd be of any help, but maybe!

Your help may consist of me sending you the raw material and the information and asking you to work your magic on the finished product, if you're game.

I think this may warrant a new project thread. I really want to see this come to fruition. There have been some preservation attempts with the Kenner commercials and a few scattered TV spots, but I'd like to see a very focused effort happen with as much information going into it as we can gather.

Yep... I did have a good look at that thread previously. That seems to have been aimed more specifically at just the Kenner commercials (though the thread has now been nullified).

I really need to get a look at Rikter's toy commercials disc to see how that turned out. But again, that's just one part of the project... the other being all the non-Kenner commercials that ran over the years. I don't think anyone's done that part yet, or at least done a thorough job on it.

I may be of help as well, I have lots of non-kenner commercials. I'll try to go through and make a list.

jabberdoo: Yeah, go ahead and get that list going. I'm going to try to compile everything I've got into one big list which I will post here. By the way, try to get all the info you can on what you've got, including the date if possible.
