Revenge of the Jedi Convention Sign
This large Revenge of the Jedi sign appears to have been used at conventions during 1982. In the November 1982 issue of Bantha Tracks, the sign can be seen hanging on a wall next to an actual prop of Han in Carbonite. The inset photo was taken at a Chicago convention over the Labor Day weekend holiday in 1982.

The sign itself appears to be a photo blowup of a frame of film, possibly from the trailers that were being released at the time. Measurements are 30"x40" and is made of a heavy wood composite material. Nice to know that some early publicity material for the most notorious name change in history still survives.
