    One should note there were three "tricon" commercials for TPM also: One where the Colonel, Taco Bell Dog and Pizza Hutt girl get in a car as we hear about the Naboo system being invaded- then the car hits hyperspeed.

    The second one was part of a two-parter that was actually pretty darn cool, it opened with the three characters on the Naboo field, and a Battle droid appears from over a hill- PHG blasts it then they turn and see the Droid army and STAPS amassed, waiting for them, the dog then goes "You're a real Colonel, right?"

    The third one joins them mid battle, the Colonel waving a lightsaber, delfecting bolts, as the PHG returns fire. Then an AAT appears and aims it's cannon at them- and the TB Dog pops out the top "hey! look what I found!". Arguably more exciting than the actual Naboo battle from TPM, since it featured real people in it [face_batting]


    There's also the Special Edition commercial where the theater usher does lightsaber combat with Vader (coming off the movie screen) that was pretty cool.


    Other commercials I'm aware of:

    -Shadows of the Empire trailer (I'd love to find this one again if anyone has a link)
    -Jedi Search commercial (advertising the limited hardcover version...only saw this once one year during Thanksgiving)
    -Vector Prime commercial (narrated by Mark Hamill)
    -Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter commercial

    There was also a whole bunch of pretty cool ones for TPM's video release that coincided with a rerelease of the SE trilogy.

    Does anybody remember Darth Vader fighting the Energizer Bunny. Vader's lightsaber goes out because he has some cheap batteries. :D It's very funny.

    Burger Chef Posters.

    Aired in 1977 during 'The Making of Star Wars As Told By R2-D2 and C-3PO', this commercial stars R2-D2, C-3PO, Darth Vader, Stormtroopers, Jawas, and even Tusken Raiders, and various other Star Wars characters.

    I have the ESB Burger Chef posters, but I didn't know there was a commercial that went along with it (or, rather, went along with the ANH poster release).

    Glad you like them. ;)

    Here's my personal favorite, i'll try to dig up the actual commercial soon.

    Anti-Smoking Ad Campaign Commercial with C-3PO and R2-D2.

    This commercial aired around 1983 or 1984. By far the funniest of the Star Wars commercials, C-3PO enters a control room and finds R2-D2 smoking a cigarette. [face_laugh]
    C-3PO tells Artoo how bad smoking really is, and that he wouldn't be a good example for others, upon which Artoo rids himself of it, and agrees upon it.
    Eventhough the commercial is funny, it has a very sad tone.
    The commercial is fairly rare, as it is not included on the 57 reel, but since it aired a lot, it shouldn't be too much of a journey to find.
    According to Anthony Daniels, this commercial was supposed to be revived on television in 1997. At the last moment, the organization decided that it promoted the Star Wars Special Editions, so unfortunately the entire idea was scrapped.

    Does anyone remember the Kenner commercials for the first wave of ROTJ figures? Waaaaaaaaay back in like 1983? The most memorable line ever spoken in any SW commercial:

    "Surprise, surprise!
    I'm Lando in DISGUISE!"

    ROTFLMAO

    What about the Darth Vader Pepsi comercial, atleast I think it was pepsi where he light saber fights that guy with the flashlight in the theater. It came out for the Specila edition. What about the comercials for when The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi First came on NBC? Anyone have these?

    I dont have the commercial yet, but i have some stills.

    Darth Vader Pepsi commercial.

    Darth Vader, who uses the Force from the big screen to quiet down a slurping Pepsi-drinker in the audience.
    The usher takes out his flashlight, and he and Vader enter into a lightsaber duel, occasionally cutting off the tall hairdo's of people in the audience.
