The Original Star Wars: Revenge of the Jedi Trailer


You will need Real Player to view these clips. George Lucas originally planned to call the third movie in the Star Wars Trilogy Revenge of the Jedi. I have heard two reasons for his changing the name to Return of the Jedi. The first is that he decided that revenge is not a Jedi trait. I have heard that he read a student's thesis about it, and that helped him make up his mind. The second reason may be that a new Star Trek movie was coming out, tentatively called Revenge of Khan. The studios felt that Star Wars : Revenge of the Jedi and Star Trek : Revenge of Khan would cause confusion. (the Star Trek movie was later titled Wrath of Khan.)

For whatever reason, or combination of reasons, George Lucas renamed the movie Return of the Jedi. But before he did, some nice Revenge of the Jedi collectibles came out. I even had an old Gramorian Guard costume that said "Revenge of the Jedi".
