RETURN OF THE JEDI (1983)
i believe the reason for the change to UNIVERS was the shape of the capital J, which is much more pronounced in UNIVERS than in NEWS GOTHIC EX. COND, the font used in the previous two films Image

the crawl body and episode number remained set in NEWS GOTHIC BOLD Image
RETURN OF THE JEDI (1983)

SEQUEL TRILOGY (2015-2019)
this title card appears to be in NEWS GOTHIC, stretched slightly, and is likely Bitstream's version #starwars Image
SEQUEL TRILOGY (2015-2019)
the crawl titles for The Force Awakens and The Rise of Skywalker were both set in NEWS GOTHIC EXTRA CONDENSED BOLD rather than the UNIVERS 49 of the prequels, likely to make the crawl similar to TESB Image
SEQUEL TRILOGY (2015-2019)
however, The Last Jedi's crawl title was set in UNIVERS 59 ULTRA CONDENSED for probably the same reason as ROTJ: the capital J of NEWS GOTHIC EXTRA CONDENSED BOLD is considerably less pronounced Image
