Thanks for the pic.  Does this ITV broadcast preservation have a name or is it attributed to any organization or individual?  What's a good guestimate for broadcast date?  Japan TV premiered in late 83 (i think) and the US CBS was early 84. 

According to:

http://boards.theforce.net/uk_regional_forum/b10027/8627086/p2

Star Wars was first shown on British television by ITV on Sunday 24 October 1982 at 7.15pm.

If this is correct then it aligns with when in the US SW began showing up on pay tv systems.

Here's a 1987 Christmas ITV SW partial end credits and commercial break:

Added the pic to the 'Orange Items' page:

As there is no orange, this aligns with the 82 CED, 82 Library VHS, 82 VHS PAL and 86 Japanese LD.
