One Sheet (27" x 41"); Undated Advance Revenge Style
Very Fine on Linen; Artwork by Drew Struzan
20th Century Fox, 1983

Only one example of this undated version of the advance poster is known for every 25 copies of the dated style, making it quite rare. Initially, this movie was titled "Revenge of the Jedi," and teaser posters were printed with this title. Both dated and undated versions of these teaser posters were distributed. However, there are many reproductions and fakes of both versions. After careful examination, we are 100% certain that this poster is an original dated "Revenge of the Jedi" teaser one sheet.

This example, which was folded, was professionally linen-backed with only expert touch-up to the folds.

The concluding installment of the beloved original Star Wars trilogy, directed by Richard Marquand. After opening with a bravura rescue sequence at the palace of Jabba The Hutt, it lives up to the saga's title with an ambitious three-tier climactic battle, combining fierce starship dogfights, a forest conflict involving the teddy-bear-like Ewoks, and the ultimate lightsaber duel between Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and his father Darth Vader (David Prowse).
