Celebrate ‘Return of the Jedi’s 40th Anniversary With These Retro Action Figures
As hard as it may be to believe, it has now been 40 years since Star Wars: Return of the Jedi opened in theaters.
That’s right, it has been four decades since we saw the Galactic Empire fall to a band of rag-tag rebels and their adorable Ewok allies.
Because Star Wars has continued to permeate popular culture and continue to tell new stories, the characters of Return of the Jedi still feel as fresh today as they did all those years ago.
If you are an original trilogy fan or saw the films when they were released, you likely have a special connection to Luke, Han, Leia, and the rest of the original cast.
Well, I am happy to announce that in honor of Return of the Jedi’s 40th anniversary, Disney has released a line of retro action figures that celebrate all your favorite characters.
‘Return of the Jedi’ Retro Action Figures
This new line of retro Star Wars action figures features six different characters. These include Boba Fett, Lando Calrissian, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Wicket, and a Bike Scout.
All six action figures look like they could have been produced in 1983 when the film originally debuted.
Han Solo and Leia are both dressed as they were in the defining Battle of Endor. Always ready for conflict, the duo both have their blasters drawn.
Other figures who participated in the Battle of Endor include the Ewok Wicket. This little guy helped the Rebellion to take down the Empire.
Also present is a Biker Scout who fought for the Imperial cause.
The other two figures in this set, take inspiration from Luke, Han, and Leia’s conflict with Jabba the Hutt.
Boba Fett, the feared bounty hunter, is wearing his Mandalorian armor and utilizing his flamethrower.
Lando Calrissian on the other hand, is wearing the Skiff Guard disguise that he used to sneak into Jabba the Hutt’s inner circle.
If you are a Return of the Jedi fan, you will surely recognize all six of these figures. The fact that they are designed to look vintage, makes the whole set that much cooler!
