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.

Puggo scored it?
Was it missing music to begin with?

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.

You can very briefly see most of the room here and it looks different from what appeared in the Holiday Special. I’m not patient enough to look through the entire HS scene, but I think they’re different sets. In the HS, there’s a wall on the left of the bar, in the PSA it looks more like a smaller version of the cantina from the movie.

I’m assuming that they re-used the “California/insert-aliens” in the HS, so I don’t see why they would have done something different for this PSA.
(I was surprised by the giant mouse in the HS though. I don’t remember that one from the movie. I remember a giant mantis, but not seeing a giant mouse.)

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.

Wow, that’s really cool.
Btw, which PSA is this from? I remember having seen quite a few Artoo and Threepio PSAs on YouTube, but I can’t remember having seen this set before.

(Also, this guy on the far right looks like a Vulcan dressed as Han Solo.)
