I'm sorry to have been away from this place for so long. It's a great place to hang out and get away from life's troubles. I'll make sure to drop by more often.

s1d0w: Nice item! The manufacturer was Penshiel Ltd but it could well have been sold in Marks and Spencer. There was a range for Return of the Jedi too. I'm always interested in anything like this, so thanks for sharing.

Aliencouture - If genuine, you have an amazing item there. Where did you obtain it? (there's plenty of opportunity for fakes). I suppose that the photo was to display the piece in a natural setting and that you don't use a genuine Revenge of the Jedi prototype as an actual bed cover.

I get the impression that stickers relating to specific toy shops are becoming more desirable by collectors. The rarity has been magnified by people (like me until recently) peeling the stickers off.

Here's another advert from later in the cinema run that mentions the Ilford Odeon where I saw Star Wars.

This is a fantastic thread. It's amazing to read people's recollections and see so many photos. My only experience of meeting Darth Vader was when he visited Debenhams in Romford. A photographer from a local newspaper set up a photo of all the children surrounding Vader. Me and my friend were...

Star Wars didn’t have a premiere in London. It simply opened on December 27th 1977 at the Dominion Theatre Tottenham Court Road and the Odeon Theatre Leicester Square. Premieres are organised to generate publicity and Star Wars definitely didn’t need any more in the UK. The country was already...
