Revenge Of The Jedi (1982)
Original vintage theatrical Tri-Folded only Recalled Undated Teaser 1sh with classic Drew Struzan art.
This movie was ultimately titled "Return of the Jedi", but it had the original working title of "Revenge of the Jedi". Teaser posters were made with the working title, and they were made in both a dated and undated version, but both versions were recalled by George Lucas when he decided that Jedi do not "take revenge"! The dated versions were sold through the Star Wars Fan Club, which is why there are far more of those than the undated versions, which were not sold. There are many reproductions of both versions, but we have carefully examined this poster, and we are 100% certain that it is an original undated "Revenge of the Jedi" teaser one-sheet (the poster measures exactly 27" x 41")! Note that this undated version is far more rare than the dated version!
A striking and highly collectible poster from the brief moment when the final chapter of the original trilogy was still titled Revenge of the Jedi. Dominated by a looming red Darth Vader and the climactic lightsaber duel, this design captures the saga at its darkest and most operatic.
Cultural significance
The title Revenge of the Jedi was famously withdrawn before release, as George Lucas felt “revenge” conflicted with Jedi philosophy. That change makes surviving posters with this title an iconic “what might have been” artifact from Star Wars history and a tangible reminder of the franchise in flux.
This poster serves as a direct link to one of the most pivotal moments in cinema history. And is an essential piece for serious Star Wars collectors, and one of the most evocative images ever produced for the saga.
