      • Product Description: 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 changed at the last moment because Jedi are not supposed to be vengeful. However a small run of advance posters had already been printed so these were sold to fans at the conventions. This is one of those posters, linen backed.

        Unframed.

        Format US 1 sheet - 27" x 41"

        Film Release Date 1983.

        Part of a selection of original posters from films featured in the V&A exhibition Hollywood Costume and other popular classics. 'Original' means that the poster was produced specifically for cinema use (not for sale to the public). With a genuine original film poster, you are not just buying the image, you are also buying a slice of movie history by owning a poster that was displayed in a cinema.

        Vintage movie posters each have a unique story and a patina of age according to their use - some will have been displayed outside cinemas during the film's actual run and will show greater wear and tear, while others will have remained pristine in a darkened store all their lives. Many surviving posters were pinned to students walls (leaving pinholes) or sellotaped up (leaving acidic tape burns). Depending on your point of view, these are faults or they are a life history to be celebrated.

        Each poster will be sent un-framed and rolled in a postal tube with acid-free tissue up in a tube.
