The third of the original Star Wars trilogy, Return of the Jedi was originally planned to be released as Revenge of the Jedi but it was famously changed at the last moment because Jedi are not supposed to be vengeful. However there was a very small number (fewer than 200) of undated advance posters printed and, closer to the final release date, there was a second run of dated posters that was sold off to fans. This is one of the dated style of poster, rolled in superb condition. Featuring artwork by Drew Struzan, this dated advance poster is highly sought after by the legions of Star Wars collectors. Basically George Lucas had the title ‘Revenge Of The Jedi’ changed to ‘Return Of The Jedi’ after these one sheets had been released, and prior to the release of the film because Jedi warriors are not meant to be vengeful. Struzan provides the amazing artwork of the menacing Darth Vader engaging in the climactic battle with Luke Skywalker.
