Return of the Jedi: Theatrical Trailer 1982

This Return of the Jedi teaser trailer from 1982 features early looks at many of the film's most famous scenes, and is the first trailer to feature the movie's new title - famously, it was originally called Revenge of the Jedi until George Lucas opted to change the name, noting that revenge is not the Jedi way. 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."
The trailer showcases many scenes out of sequence, focusing on action and the heroes and villains of the film. The opening shot is of Han, Chewie, Luke, C-3PO, Leia, and R2-D2 aboard the stolen Imperial shuttle Tydirium, en route to Endor ("You ready everybody?" Han says. "Chewie, let's see what this piece of junk can do."), then cuts to the Millennium Falcon during the Rebels' assault on the Death Star, shows Jabba and much of the battle on his sail barge, Ewoks battling Stormtroopers on Endor, and the final duel between Luke and Darth Vader in the presence of the Emperor. The trailer actually does not feature the complete Return of the Jedi logo.

0:51 Luke was originally supposed to have a blue light saber in the film as we can see here but because the blue color didn’t show up that well in the sarlacc pit fight scene originally, George decided to change the color to green. So glad he did that cause that green light saber is awesome

[@sandal_thong8631]

If they wanted people to think he'd gone to the Dark Side of the Force, he should have built a red one.

[@Gage_Brumley]

Just think if George didn't make that change, we'd be stuck with only red and blue lightsabers. Pretty boring

[@sonicfan2403]

Plus given the lore behind the green saber, it fits with Luke's character.

[@sillynakedpeople]

Im pretty sure the actual reason was that they were originally going to have scene where luke built a new lightsaber, but they cut it out. Because they didnt want people to be confused (cos of what happened in esb) they made it green to show it was a new saber.

[@The_Curious_Cat]

It makes sense. But here 1:29 the lightsaber appears in green. If this was made using an early cut of the movie, shouldn't it also be blue? Because he uses the same lightsaber during the whole movie.

No matter what anyone says about Return of the Jedi, in my opinion, aside from Empire Strikes Back, Jedi is my favorite Star Wars movie ever. In my opinion, Jedi’s action sequences are more stronger and Williams’s musical score in this movie is the sharpest out of the Trilogy. And the emotional side of this movie is beyond cinema. This movie is great and no matter what critics or people say about Jedi, you gotta admit. Jedi actually competes with Empire Strikes Back as the best film of Star Wars. But honestly, the action sequences, John Williams’s score, and emotional weight in this movie is absolutely unreal!

Foot Lettuce And no he wasn’t. He gave Star Wars to Disney because people made fun of him because of the prequels. So he though if they didn’t like the way he did it, have somebody else do it

That was one of the best space battle scenes and they should have kept quiet about it.

Ok, so this has been bugging me ever since I was a kid. In 1982, I saw Star Wars for the first time during its re-release (so I ended up seeing it after Empire). As I recall, there was a trailer for Return of the Jedi at that showing. And in the preview there was an overhead shot (like looking down from a cliff) of a cluster of AT-AT walkers way in the distance of a desert planet, like Tatooine. So I remember that when I went to see Return of the Jedi, I was expecting a scene with AT-ATs in the desert, and was disappointed that there wasn't any (although I loved the movie anyways, of course). Now I could very easily have misunderstood the trailer, or even invented the whole thing in my mind, but curious if anyone else has a memory like that. Thanks!!!

the movie title is about anakin,the jedi who returns from the dark side.

[@harishyqchy]

Oh shiet you’re right

[@tritonlockjaw284]

flabblepie Also, George realized it would actually save a lot of money on marketing with ink due to Return being less words than Revenge.

[@giornojoestar4411]

And the return of the Jedi Order under Luke’s supervision. EU baby

[@meavid]

As a kid the wait between Empire and Jedi seemed like an eternity.

[@sandal_thong8631]

Three years worth of Star Wars comics.

1:17 Boba Fett is back! I hope he has a bigger role in this movie

[@bothersomebertie1195]

you can tell it's filled with raw footage that hasn't seen any kind of processing, and it's even before the editor's cutting floor. They were in a hurry to get this one out! Still, i'm more excited to see it than ever! XD

0:51 things that are missing from the new Disney trilogy

[@dbnovaro]

notthing indeed will ever overcome the classic Star wars trilogy.

[@PhillipRottingham]

0:34 - Interesting that they call this "The next chapter in the continuing Star Wars saga," and not the conclusion to the trilogy. Also, notice that Luke's Lightsabre changes colour in the trailer. :P

[@jandb0608]

It says that bacause of the prequels and new sequels

[@giornojoestar4411]

jandb0608 Nah

[@daveventura1246]

Yeah, at this point it was already called episode 6, and Lucas had plans for 1-3, and 6-9

[@MrMOTUMan]

Still my favourite movie of all time. Only The Empire Strikes Back and A New Hope come close. It was also the first movie I ever saw in a cinema.

Nah. Even George wanted Luke like he is in the new Trilogy

[@mishynaofficial]

@@ryancols emm, no. SW originally suppose to be 12 movies with completely different characters in 4 trilogies except C3PO and R2D2. So OT is the only canon, other just made for money.

Originally called “Revenge of the Jedi”

[@fox_jaodoessomestuff4509]

@Yo Momma I wanna see an alternate future whete that happened.

[@moe_selim]

Not really. It was originally return of the Jedi then it was changed to revenge and before release was switched back to the original return title.

[@buckers67buck77]

Originally shown in cinemas as a trailer as Revenge of the Jedi featuring Luke in an imperial uniform stood next to Vader.

[@Blade_Sensei]

I can’t wait for it to release, this is going to be the greatest trilogy of all time, I just know it
