Really great find T'shot. I like the fact that they have the Darth Vader TIE Fighter wings on the wrong way!

:firefly: Insider info as to a new character, on regional news.
Can't imagine Lucas film (or Disney) allowing 'leaks' like that now.

Revenge of the Jedi too, when did the title change?

Anyone know of footage inside a hasbro factory today? probably get into trouble for exposing labour conditions.

From Wikipedia:
The original teaser trailer for the film carried the name Revenge of the Jedi. In December 1982 Lucas decided that “Revenge” was not appropriate and returned to his original title. However, by that time thousands of "Revenge" teaser posters (with artwork by Drew Struzan) had been printed and distributed. (Note that the poster reverses the correct color of the light sabers; Luke is seen wielding a red lightsaber while Vader wields a blue one. Lucasfilm stopped the shipping of the posters and sold the remaining stock of 6,800 posters to Star Wars fan club members for $9.50. These posters now sell for $250 – $500 depending on condition.
