Original 'Star Wars: Return of the Jedi' Trailer Reveals Different Movie Title

Time for a throwback Thursday -- galactic style. Star Wars has released the original 1983 trailer for Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.

But fans will notice that the trailer promotes a different film title: Revenge of the Jedi. George Lucas changed "revenge" to "return" before the movie's release -- a good choice noting the film's portrayal of Darth Vader. But "revenge" did eventually get a spot in a Lucas movie, appearing in 2005's Revenge of the Sith.

Over the past few months, the film's YouTube channel has released teaser trailers from each episode, giving us all a look into how Lucas and 20th Century Fox originally branded the movies. While Return of the Jedi seems to be more on par with the famed Star Wars we all know, the first teaser (for A New Hope) was inconsistent with the film's legacy.

But this trailer does give fans a few looks into a pre-special effects Obi-Wan Kenobi, and see if you can spot Luke Skywalker wielding a blue lightsaber (it becomes a green blade for the final film).
