<p>It may be almost four decades old, but relics surrounding Star Wars are still being uncovered and revealed.</p>
<p>&#013;</p>
<p>This time, The Academy of Motion Picture Art and Science has posted a rare teaser trailer for the third film in the franchise, <i>Return of the Jedi</i>, on YouTube. You can see it in the video above.</p>
<p>&#013;</p>
<p>Before the film had its name changed to <i>Return of the Jedi</i>, it was called <i>Revenge of the Jedi</i>. Originally called <i>Revenge of the Jedi</i>, after the first posters went out Lucas was reminded by fans — in the words of Yoda himself in <i>The Empire Strikes Back</i> — that revenge was not a value of the Jedi, so the title was changed. The original teaser trailers for the film all ran with the <i>Revenge of the Jedi</i> title, promising the third movie would arrive on May 25, 1983.</p>

<p>Except for the new, rare teaser trailer the Academy uncovered, which was created by a lone cinema in England and had a Christmas 1983 release date. Instead of showing clips from the movie, the teaser just used stills from the film and set them against a backdrop of triumphant sounding music. There were rumors in March of 1982 that the film wouldn&#8217;t get to English shores until Christmas because of marketing issues, but it was eventually released just one week after the North American release, on June 2, 1983.</p>
<p>&#013;</p>
<p>According to the Academy, this weird, British teaser may be the earliest trailer <i>Return of the Jedi</i> received, even if the name was eventually changed. More information about it and its history <a target="_blank" href="http://ift.tt/1XxgJIU">can be read here</a>.</p>
