There’s apparently another edition of the original Star Wars trilogy. In 2003, when the the trilogy premiered on TV in Chile, it aired without traditional commercial breaks, instead having advertisements for a beer brand called Cerveza Cristal inserted into the movies themselves. Would anyone on this forum be interested in helping find these cuts in their entirety?
Is there anyone from Chile on here who may have this recorded? Or access to a copy?
It already has its own merch!:
Some fun with placing adverts in the EU:
“Don’t tell anyone… but when ‘Star Wars’ first came out, I didn’t know where it was going either. The trick is to pretend you’ve planned the whole thing out in advance. Throw in some father issues and references to other stories - let’s call them homages - and you’ve got a series.” - George Lucas

And this one; not sure if it was aired during the actual TV broadcast or if it’s a commercial that was aired adjacent to/around the same time as the film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6pSxiUEnLU
There are quite possibly others that have yet to resurface, if they will at all.
AI would have a field day doing this for all the Star Wars content, it’d be an advertisers’ dream.

For comedy and light hearted fan edits too 😃

Did you have any luck in finding these, Windows7Guy100? Or a reconstruction of them?
