When George Lucas originally announced the third instalment of 'Star Wars' - although nerds now insist it's Episode 6 - it was under the title 'Revenge of the Jedi', but by the time it hit screens it had become 'Return of the Jedi': the reason given that revenge wasn't part of the Jedi philosophy.
The revised title provided only too obvious a sign that the series was by now taking itself far too seriously. Which makes it doubly ironic that the feature of the film to which most fans accord iconic status is Slave Leia in a bikini; as usual prominently displayed on the posters but featured only briefly in the film itself, in which the outfit is so scanty all shots involving movement employ obvious use of a body double.
