Star Wars Bedspread and Sheets in the News
Hey, I had these when I was a kid! This 1978 Times-Post News Service article by Elliot Almond shares with us that Twentieth Century-Fox approached the manufacturer about creating Star Wars sheets and blankets for us back in the seventies. The article states:
“Twentieth Century-Fox approached the Bibb Co. in the marketing of “Star Wars” characters such as Vader, R2D2, and C3PO. Bibb artists spent more than three months designing and testing the sheets before the product hit department stores last Christmas.”
The article also mentions adult sheets. I’m betting everyone at the center of Star Wars sheets back in 1978 never imagined how many designs would be available today. Just check online (Amazon.com search*) and I think even you may be surprised to see what’s out there today. And all because these 1978 designs — and the movies! — did so very well.
