I thought you may find this interesting. A few years ago a friend of the family was clearing out their loft, under one of the boards was a pile of old newspapers holding the board up and one of the papers was from 1977.

They noticed Star Wars and this was given to me as they knew I was a huge fan.

It's an old evening standard with a review of Star Wars a month before it premiered.

I've attached pics and you should be able to read the article

Enjoy!

Thanks
Andrew

Woah woah!! dude at least put up a spoiler alert, the review tells us everything that happens. :lol:

What a great find and an interesting read, I always love seeing in retrospect people's perceptions and what they were thinking about back in the day when something new and 'society changing' like this was released.

Thanks for sharing. :)

That's fantastic, what a find! I love anything like this, from the days before and around the film's release in Britain. Congrats!

Does anyone know what it might be worth?

I'm guessing it's got more value to someone collecting old newspapers rather than Star Wars?

Some old copies on eBay from around 77 but buy it nows at £50

You'd get more for it if someone wanted to buy it for someones birthday with the date on the paper being the day someone was born, but waiting for that one person to want one with that specific date would prob take forever. :lol:

Your best guide would be to look at previous sold prices for that same paper of around the same year, my guess would be about £10. I bought one on ebay this year for my mom's birthday from the day she was born which was about £20 if I remember right, and that came in a gift box. That was 2nd hand too but the company that actually sourced this paper and gift boxed it were charging £40+ for them on their site.
