Return Of The Jedi Action Figures
Star Wars action figures based on The Return Of The Jedi were first released in 1983. Decades later, action figures and toys based on the 3rd Star Wars movie are still being produced, and Star Wars as a franchise is as popular as it ever was.
Return of the Jedi's theatrical release took place on May 25, 1983. It was originally slated to be May 27, but was subsequently changed to coincide with the date of the 1977 release of Star Wars: A New Hope.
With a massive worldwide marketing campaign, illustrator Tim Reamer created the iconic and distinctive image for the movie poster and other advertising. At the time of its release, the film was advertised simply as Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, despite its on-screen "Episode VI" distinction. This was evident on release posters and merchandise. The film grossed more than $475 million worldwide.
