PSA: This is not a misprint one off. This is how this poster was mass printed. Originally it was called "Revenge of the Jedi" and those posters, and any other merch if original, are worth some money, George changed the title last minute because Jedi's don't seek revenge. These are all now massively reprinted.

This one was specifically from the remaster/re-release era in the 90's. It's also dry mounted to foam board so any value it might have had is long gone haha. I didn't think I had a rare relic, I was just surprised to just now notice that detail after having it for so long.

Oh by no means was my comment to call you out or anything, my apologies if it came across that way. It was for the people thinking this was a misprint. I love this poster and all the history around it, I'm glad you could discover the little Easter egg with the lightsabers and imagine how audiences felt when this was originally released.

Also, I remember reading that it was from a deleted scene where they'd use each other's sabers during the fight

I remember that because I was in the SW fan club. I sent in my proof of purchase coupons, forgot about them, then, 10 months later I got a newsletter and the second ugliest SW action figure: Admiral Akbar. My mom observed that his head looked like a turd. Anywho, the newsletter announced the sequel Revenge of the Jedi. I wish I'd have kept that.
