Dear Phil,
Here is the official word on the Revenge. This info comes
straight from Lucasfilm. The first version of the poster, the undated one, was
released at Christmas in 1982. At the NSS in Dallas, of the 25 copies the
service received, only two ended up going to theaters and the other 23 were
stolen. The second release with the date May 25, 1983. Since both variations of
this poster were pulled so quickly, most of the copies were never used. The fan
club offered the rest for sale. The run of the second version was 8800,
8000 of them being sold through the fan club and sold out in 3 days. As I heard
it Lucas kept a few hundred of this version for himself. The posters sold
through the fan club were $10 each and you were allowed to order a maximum of 10
posters. I know as I did so, under many friend's names. I have seen posters on
this title both tri-folded and NSS folded with the date. It is rare to see one
without a date and I have probably framed under 10 of those in 20 years. So,
that's the scoop. Hope the info helps.

Sharon - How does one identify a fan club issue
to one that came from a theatre, other than possible signs of theatre
use?

In my experience, the theatres were sent
folded one sheets. The fan club posters were rolled. Don't think
I've ever seen a tri-fold on this title. There seem to have been some
rolled one sheets that did not go thru Screen or thru the fan club.
Have absolutely no idea on quantities (in 25 years I've handled about
10 of them, some theatrical and some fan club).
