The Saga Vault continues with the eleventh episode featuring unique first-wave relics from the birth of the galaxy in 1977, available now on the Cinema Relics YouTube channel with Steve Sansweet, Michael Wistock, Gus Lopez & Lisa Stevens with host Dan Lanigan.
In May of 1977, pop culture changed forever when a low-budget sci-fi film exploded into a global phenomenon. In this episode of The Saga Vault, our panel travels back to year zero to showcase the rarest first-wave relics from the birth of the galaxy. From the actual hand-drawn 1977 Kenner concept sketch that inspired the original Chewbacca action figure and an authentic original hand-colored Marvel Comics Star Wars #7 production guide to an official 1977 20th Century-Fox studio pressbook and a historic autographed 1976 novelization that predates the movie’s release, these items capture the raw magic of 1977. Join world-renowned collectors Gus Lopez, Steve Sansweet, Vic Wertz, and Michael J. Wistock as they battle to induct the ultimate 1977 treasure into the Vault.
