This public service announcement from 1979 is still being used. They showed it in my defensive driving course just last year.

Wow, really?
Then again, why not. SW is as relevant now as it has ever been.

(I wonder if they shot that for the PSA, or if they used outtakes? Or maybe a bit of both?)

Puggo and I would love to find a 16mm of that. He scored one of the PSA’s with the droids and included it on Puggo Grande. Someone uploaded a better version.

The droids PSA’s were shot in the UK, with a set using leftover bits of the Death Star control room. You might shed a tear seeing Kenny Baker and Artoo.

It would be interesting to know where the cantina one was shot. My guess would be in California just like the cantina inserts shot for the movie. The Holiday Special set might have been used.
