Y'know, it's kinda funny, because I was watching some of the Star Wars trilogy over the weekend, and told my wife that I could've sworn that the third installment (Episode VI) was called "REVENGE of the Jedi" when I first saw it, not "Return of the Jedi". And it's kinda needled at me for years, so I finally did a bit of searching.
Sure enough, there's the poster I remember seeing at the theatre when the movie was still a coming attraction: "Revenge of the Jedi". Big red poster with a huge Darth Vader helmet as the main backdrop. Turns out "Revenge of the Jedi" was the working title, and the early pre-release posters referred to it as such. It was only changed closer to release date.
Woulda fit better with the later flicks that way - that way, each of the trilogies would have a third installment called "Revenge of the..."
Oh, and looks like that poster I saw way back when (and really wanted) goes for about $450 now. :shock:

The name was switched to "Return" pretty early, there was just the one teaser poster with "Revenge" on it.

What do Luke & Anakin have in common in their first space battle?
- Zero training in the operation of the crazy-expensive fighter they're strapped into.
- R2D2 being plugged into the ship's systems.
At least Luke had flown SOMETHING before, in and around the canyons of Tatooine. Not only had he flown, but he had shot at womprats too, while flying. And even then, we can't say he didn't get any 'crash' course in basic X-Wing flight training. But we DO know that Aniken had zero training, had likely never flown before ( where'd he have the means ? ) and as for any 'intuition', I say bunk to that. Why bother w/ Jedi training if you can simply "feel" you way though it ? I don't care how much mettawhozits one has in their blood, you're gonna need someone there to at least guide you a tad, or else you'll end up a skid mark on the side of a mountian. There's just no getting around that.

'Rap - Remember, it's Star Wars; it doesn't have to make sense! :)
What struck me most in watching ANH over the weekend was how really awfully bad the acting was, and how horrible the dialog was. Good thing it had great FX for back then, or it would have been one really shitty movie.

But man, those ' cutting edge' effects , for the day, made that flick into an international craze.
