An excruciating two months after its US release, Star Wars Episode I finally arrived on UK screens in July 1999. Now that we've reached the late 90s, chain exclusivity is all but dead - this film showed pretty much everywhere - but folks seem to like their Star Wars at the Odeon (thanks to those of you who responded to my poll!) It also happens to be the chain where I saw the film the first time and yes, I queued for tickets at midnight several weeks earlier...

The trailer reel for this film was originally a (Lucasfilm mandated) Fox highlights package but sadly no reference for that seems available, so enjoy some full-length trailers for the big upcoming releases.

Note: this is a reupload since I initially used the incorrect BBFC rating - thanks to ‪@reubenward895‬ for spotting that!

Special thanks to @FTDepot, @35mmMovieTrailersScans, @Reel35 and @obsoletearchive4201 for various trailers, ads and logos used in this reel.
