Continuing my quest to catalog, as complete as possible, press coverage of the original Star Wars trilogy and two Ewoks movies for The Star Wars Historical Sourcebook. The following is my want list of British publications, with British Library shelf marks for reference. I need PDF files of the coverage, and I’m happy to exchange for whatever is on your want list.
Thanks for your help!
