An original 1982 pre-release newspaper supplement of the Yuma Daily Sun issued during the early promotional phase of the film ultimately released as “Return of the Jedi.” At the time of publication, the film still carried the working title “Revenge of the Jedi,” a detail that places this piece firmly within a narrow and highly collectible window in Star Wars production history.
Unlike later, widely distributed marketing materials, regional newspaper supplements such as this were ephemeral by nature and rarely preserved in complete form. Surviving examples with clear date attribution and full multi-page content have become increasingly difficult to source.
This is a complete original newspaper supplement (not a clipping), with all 20 pages featuring production coverage, behind-the-scenes reporting, and period editorial content reflecting how the film was being presented to the public in 1982. Includes coverage of George Lucas and the evolving scope of the Star Wars saga at that time.
This is not a mass-market reprint or later reproduction, but a period piece from the brief era before the title change—an aspect that continues to drive collector interest in “Revenge of the Jedi” material.
Enjoy the many Star Wars-themed ads such as (“May the Porsche Be With You”), including an ad for the Stardust Resort Inn where some of the cast and crew stayed during filming.
