STAR WARS: REVENGE OF THE JEDI (1983) U.S. One-Sheet movie poster - Dated Teaser “Coming May 25, 1983 to your galaxy.” - DREW STRUZAN artwork - 27 1/8” x 41 1/16” (69 x 104.3 cm), rolled. The original title of the third installment of the Star Wars franchise was renamed from Revenge to the more placid Return of the Jedi as George Lucas didn't want to insinuate that his heroic Jedi Knights were capable of revenge. This meant that the posters were recalled and changed, making it a much rarer and more sought after poster. This item has been thoroughly checked for authenticity and passed all known markers for reproductions.
