CLASSIC ART: BEAST OF FRIENDLY BURDEN!

One of the intriguing creature concept paintings linked to the unused grass world of Sicemon, originally planned for REVENGE OF THE JEDI: a creature that the Rebels on that world use as a means of transportation. This one is presumably carrying our main heroes to an important gathering.

BATTLE READY HEROES!

The legacy of REVENGE OF THE JEDI continues with this terrific unused poster concept art by John Alvin, which certainly shows Luke and Leia in a more impressionistic light, though Harrison Ford remains near faithfully intact, as the lightsaber wielding evil of Darth Vader draws near.

A 'REVENGE' OF DISTINCTION!

The now infamous and iconic red/black REVENGE OF THE JEDI logo looks particularly classy on this 1982 badge. I wonder how many are still out there in proud fans' collections?

And let's also not forget this equally attractive brass paperweight sent out only to theatre owners ready to show the film back in the day, and which must be worth a handsome sum on today's collectors market.

A 'TRIBUTE' TO 'REVENGE'!

There's numerous magazines in 1982 previewing the expectant REVENGE, but this is a personal favourite: the US TRIBUTE magazine from the Fall of that year. Check out its coverage here: Revenge of the Jedi (Tribute Magazine) | Bad News Central

GETTING A COCKPIT VIEW

One of the many early colour transparencies from the film that had the REVENGE OF THE JEDI logo on it- some of which are still floating around the STAR WARS merchandise tables and online even now. This one linked to blue screen X-wing fighter cockpit filming for ILM.
