The latest entry in the on-going "Protos and Premiums" series on Starwars.com has Gus taking a look back at the Star Wars Electronic Laser Battle Game from Kenner.

See the intro below:

"Star Wars Electronic Laser Battle was one of the first electronic games based on the battles in A New Hope. This image shows an early prototype that is typical for electronic game prototypes since the circuitry and power supply are contained in a separate unit attached by wiring.
