Original uncut pressbook printed on 3/15/1978, a few weeks before the Academy Awards were presented on 4/3/1978 featuring the image of the "Style C" poster artwork and listing some of the "winning" categories, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor - Alec Guinness. Star Wars never won any of these Academy Awards, but it's common to have these types of things printed ahead of time to get a jump on advertisements the day after the Awards were handed out and with hype of the film, who would have thought that Star Wars would have lost in these key categories. As the awards were handed out to other winners, this printing would have been destroyed and a replacement would have been sent out to theaters to honor the correct winnings, but this extremely rare version did survive. Consists of five pages with minor wear from storage, last page is loose from the single staple. Measures 19" x 25". A very rare early Star Wars artifact.
