1994 Star Wars “Rare Sets” Advertisment
Do you remember the Burger King Star Wars stickers that I posted earlier this year? Well, we get another peek at them, this time in a 1994 ad from the first issue of Combo magazine. It’s a little strange that last week when I located the album (which I still need to share) I also found this ad . . . completely by accident!
And to make this advertisement just slightly more interesting there’s the text discussing a new Star Wars movie in 1995. I certainly don’t remember rumors of Star Wars movies back in 1994/1995, so what am I missing? Anyone have a link or info on what possible rumors were floating around when this ad was new?

Maybe it’s a mistaken reference to the re-release on VHS that happened in ’95. I can’t speak for America but that was a HUGE deal in Australia. The movies were on TV constantly, Pizza Hut had a promotion on…it was my first real exposure to Star Wars and I loved it.
