Video: 1982 Return of the Jedi trailer, more Muren
Unlike the first one, this trailer does indeed use the film’s final title.

Interviews. The December release date is “an infinitely better situation” and a “huge improvement” J.J. Abrams tells MTV’s Josh Horowitz. When asked if the Artoo casting means C-3P0: “They have different agents.” He also talked about London and Kasdan with Total Film.
