Hmmm.. I actually have a couple of these commercials that I got in a trade... like 15 years ago... along with promos for the SuperLive Adventure. I'll have to dig these up... right now everything is in storage... selling our house.

I recall both featured Lucas... in one ad he held a red apple that turned into a bird and flew away... in the other I think there was a clip or two of Vader and some Stormtroopers.

George Lucas was himself in a couple of Japanese commercials for Panasonic/Technics with the slogan "Something New". They were from 1987.

- Chewie surprising a little girl. Girl pets chewie.
- Ewoks turn on a stereo and get startled, again and again. Thet get used to it and start dancing.
- R2D2 and C-3PO with a portable word processor/computer.
- GL is filming scale models that come to life. C3PO is peeking from around the corner.
but most of all:
- Jabba turns on the stereo, listens to music, and starts to cry. Hilarious!

I would love to see these. I've kept less emphasis on foreign (non-US) commercials because the scope of what we have is already overwhelming, but I'm still interested in them. Especially the ones featuring characters from the saga.
