Toy Facts: 1977 Star Wars Movie Viewer - Star Wars hit our screens in the early days of the home video wilderness, and though there was lots of cheap merchandise associated with the film, getting a home copy of the movie itself was a real investment. Home movie enthusiasts could find "highlight reel" versions of Star Wars on Super 8 film, or you could watch an even shorter version using this toy movie viewer made by Kenner.
Kenner already had this movie viewer toy in their catalog before Star Wars came along, so it was relatively easy to create a Star Wars cartridge to snap into the viewer (they also had a projector model). The operation is easy - you simply hold the viewer up to a light, and the crank moves the film along showing a short compilation of several scenes from the blockbuster movie.
