There is another OT trailer of the UK Double-Bill of Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back from 1982. Can’t see it anywhere - it may have only been a TV spot rather than a full theatrical trailer, but it definitely exits. This also gets me thinking if there was also a trailer (or TV spot) for the triple bill from 1983 (or was it 1984)?

There does appear to be one notable omission from the list of Star Wars Trailers. There is another 1977 Theatrical Trailer that seems to have been forgotten about.

The only downside is that I cannot find a really decent quality version of it.
There is a HD German version though:

Does anyone know if there currently exists a HD version of the US version?

Thanks.

I haven’t found it in HD, no, but your version is still better than the one I posted earlier in the thread; https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/The-Original-Trilogy-TrailersPromos-Video-Thread-YouTubeVimeo-etc-finds/id/73360/page/2#1335360

I checked them side-by-side and the only difference is that this version don’t have the Academy Awards brag at the very end. So this is either a slightly different version of the 1978 re-release trailer, or they simply added the award bit at the end of a re-used 1977 trailer. Do you have any more info about it than what it says on the YT title (they’re usually not that reliable)? I would like to add it to the index, or as a backup t the previous post, but I’m not quite sure when this trailer is actually from.

BTW, the German version seem like a HD recreation using footage from the blu-ray (and perhaps also some despecialized?).

Just re-watched the German trailer and I think you are right it being a recreation, the Blue and Red lightsabers give it away - the US version has the “White Sticks” from the teaser.

I am unsure however if it is the 1978 re-release or a 2nd 1977 theatrical trailer, even though the youtube user claimed it was the 1977 trailer???

I cannot tell you how amazing it is to hear about this project you have undertaken to restore the 1979 Dracula to its original color timing. I have sent you a pm. I would love to be able to watch the movie as I remember seeing when I was about 10. The laserdisc, DVD and Blu Ray’s have all been shockingly awful. I hope that Universal get to see your hard work and give it a wide release. Congratulations and well done for doing this.
