Important Added Info: Note that this exhibitor brochure (referred to as "our Star Wars brochure" in the accompanying letter) was sent to "editors and writers" on 5/24/77 by Charles Lippincott (who was the "Director of Advertising, Promotion and Publicity" at "The Star Wars Corporation"! It was originally sent together with the first three issues of the Marvel comic. The letter from Charlie Lippincott says that he is "reporting on the progress of our film", and "heartfelt thanks for your interest", and that "to those of you who may not know about STAR WARS, we're hoping this will serve as an introduction". There is a signature on the letter, but it was reproduced along with the rest of the letter. Note the really cool Star Wars logo at the top of the letter, with a completely different Star Wars font and an image of Luke Skywalker that we are not familiar with. We can't imagine that very many people (if any) saved this letter, which is a really great piece of super early Star Wars history! Also note that we have pictured the front cover, two interior 2-page spreads, and the letter from the Director of Advertising. Condition: very good. The exhibitor brochure has smudges and scuffs on the front cover. The letter has darkening in the top and bottom edges, and a few scattered creases (see our images).
