The third chapter in the Star Wars saga was originally titled Revenge Of The Jedi. Upon reflection, Lucas decided that vengeance was not a particularly noble aspiration for a true Jedi knight and the movie was retitled Return Of The Jedi. The 'Revenge' poster was withdrawn immediately. The remaining copies were sold through the Star Wars Fan Club and it is said that it took under three days to exhaust the entire supply.
