Review & premiere of "Star Wars--Return of the Jedi", in a Los Angeles newspaper...



Item # 695894

May 25, 1983

LOS ANGELES TIMES, May 25, 1983 

* Best "Return of the Jedi" advertisement
* Star Wars: Episode VI
* Grand Opening Day premiere


A terrific issue on the premiere of the motion picture hit "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" and perhaps no better newspaper could be found than this, the leading newspaper from the home of the entertainment industry. In over 40 years of collecting, we have yet to see such unique & dramatic coverage with truly top-shelf, eye-catching displayability (see images).
The front page of section F has a review of the film, headed: " 'Star Wars' Continues With An Inventive 'Jedi' " with a  photo of Mark Hamill. The article carries over to page 2. And perhaps just as significant is the terrific, full page advertisement for the film (see).
A quite rare issue as it would not have been saved since it contains no historically significant content. Present are the complete sections 1 and VI totaling. Great condition.
