@@jeenkzk5919 or it could be a typo, because if it were a rerelease print it would probably say the empire strikes back (1980) 1983 rerelease print, but i don't think the film was rereleased in theaters in 1983.
@@ArchiveofAwesomeness1886 back then I believe they were re released to double feature with the sequels. I know the first was re released in 78, 80 and another year or two that I don’t remember. Back before home video, or at least affordable home video it was common to re release movies. Especially huge hits.
