Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (1983) – Japanese 8-Up Uncut Printer’s Proof / Press Sheet
 
 
An exceptionally scarce original Japanese 8-up uncut printer’s proof / press sheet produced for Star Wars: Return of the Jedi in 1983.
 
The sheet contains eight complete Japanese B5 chirashi designs printed together before trimming, retaining the original printer’s margins and registration marks. The artwork is based on Drew Struzan’s celebrated Revenge of the Jedi design, adapted for the final Return of the Jedi release.
 
Surviving uncut press sheets are considerably rarer than the individual Japanese chirashi flyers and are highly sought after by serious Star Wars and Japanese movie poster collectors.
