Return of the Jedi: Original Theatrical Trailer

We’ve already shared the original trailer for the second Star Wars film, Return of the Jedi. In fact, we shared two versions: one where it was still named Revenge of the Jedi and the revised version after then name was changed. Now Lucasfilm has posted the original theatrical trailer for the film from 1982.

This trailer features early looks at many of the film’s most famous scenes and was the first trailer to feature the movie’s new title, Return of the Jedi. In fact, the trailer focuses heavily on the idea of “return,” with the narrator opening the preview by saying, “Return to a galaxy far, far away,” and later, “Return to heroic adventure,” and “Return to the ultimate confrontation.”
