Toy Facts:
You can still buy Revenge of the Jedi items today. These items were put into circulation in 1982 ahead of the release of the now titled “Return of the Jedi”.
On February 20, 1981, the first draft for the third film of the original trilogy, entitled Star Wars: Episode I The Beginning, was completed. George Lucas' original idea for the third Star Wars film was to focus on Luke Skywalker's and Leia Organa's adventures to save Han Solo from the clutches of bounty hunter Boba Fett, but after he decided not to make a third trilogy, the idea was scrapped. The script, written by Lawrence Kasdan and Lucas, featured Darth Vader, Grand Moff Jerjerrod, and The Emperor competing for the possession of Luke Skywalker.
On September 21, 1981, a second draft written by Kasdan was completed. This draft included the elimination of Had Abbadon, the return of Vader to a more villainous role, and the instatement of Dagobah. Among other changes, Han Solo was killed.
After many delays, the draft was scrapped, and on November 1, 1981, the shooting script was presented, entitled Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi. The film was released in 1983.

Toy Facts:
1977 Star Wars Movie Viewer - Star Wars hit our screens in the early days of the home video wilderness, and though there was lots of cheap merchandise associated with the film, getting a home copy of the movie itself was a real investment. Home movie enthusiasts could find "highlight reel" versions of Star Wars on Super 8 film, or you could watch an even shorter version using this toy movie viewer made by Kenner.
Kenner already had this movie viewer toy in their catalog before Star Wars came along, so it was relatively easy to create a Star Wars cartridge to snap into the viewer (they also had a projector model). The operation is easy - you simply hold the viewer up to a light, and the crank moves the film along showing a short compilation of several scenes from the blockbuster movie.
