Hello everybody!!

Does anyone out there have any more info about a London/UK premiere and party for STAR WARS on its original release? I'm assuming this was December 1977 in London's West End, before the films general release around the UK in late January 1978? Did any of the stars turn out for it, or was this a press/general British celebrity attended event?

According to the current STARBURST STAR WARS SPECIAL writer Alan Jones recalls having been given a star paperweight from the event, made from clear perspex with "MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU" on it, that was placed on the tables of the after show party.

If anyone has any more info, can they get in touch..

Thanks

As far as I can remember Blue Peter did a STAR WARS programme around that time where C3P0, Chewie and R2-D2 payed the folks a visit
