It's a spectacle light years ahead of its time from 20th Century Fox."; "Written and Directed by George Lucas"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Mark Hamill (as Luke Skywalker), Harrison Ford (as Han Solo), Carrie Fisher (as Princess Leia), Peter Cushing (as Grand Moff Tarkin), Alec Guinness (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; as Obi-Wan Kenobi), Anthony Daniels (as C-3PO), James Earl Jones (as the voice of Darth Vader), David Prowse (billed as "Dave Prowse"; as the man inside the Darth Vader suit!), Peter Mayhew (as Chewbacca), Kenny Baker (as R2-D2), and Phil Brown (as Uncle Owen) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is a newspaper page that was removed from the Friday, July 1, 1977 edition of the Philadelphia Inquirer. It is the entire page, and it has the ad that ran for Star Wars, which was showing in five theaters in the Philadelphia area, including "Eric's Place" on Chestnut St. Note that a tagline was included from Desmond Ryan, the Philadelphia Inquirer film critic who said "The finest pure entertainment to reach the screen in ages... a captivating science fantasy... pure fun!", and for once, the tagline was accurate and not hype! We would think that very few people in 1977 thought to take this page out of the newspaper (or just the Star Wars ad), and likely very, very few survive. Condition: very good. The page has darkened slightly and has minor wear around the edges. It was folded across the middle. Learn More about condition grades
