Star Wars itself needs no introduction, the company responsible for its amazing toy line, Kenner Products is almost as well known as the films themselves. From 1977-1985, Kenner created hundreds of commercials advertising the various toys available in their Star Wars line of toys.
Unfortunately, there have been quite a few commercials that have been lost over the years most notably in 1985, the final year of the line. I is understood that Kenner switched the company producing their commercials around this time, a factor which might play in the lost commercials obscurity and availability. A list of the lost commercials is available below. The only possible source of finding these commercials as of now is home recordings taped off TV.
Please note: while the Droids Cartoon and Power Of The Force Coins commercials have been found themselves, both are missing several seconds leaving full versions yet to be found.
