Description

Sought-after original color 27 x 41 one sheet 'teaser' Star Wars movie poster for Revenge of the Jedi, with Drew Struzan artwork showing the forms of Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader battling with lightsabers against a background of Vader's helmet and the upper tagline: "The Saga Continues." White text along the bottom reads: "Coming May 25, 1983 to your galaxy." In fine, folded condition, with light rippling along the sides of the vertical fold. Star Wars: Episode VI-Revenge of the Jedi was the first draft of the script to the film that would later become Star Wars: Episode VI-Return of the Jedi. Director George Lucas chose 'Revenge of the Jedi' over his initial title of 'Return of the Jedi' because he found the latter 'weak'; however, in December 1982, Lucas decided that 'Revenge' was not appropriate for the title given that a Jedi should never seek revenge, and he changed it back.
