During this weekend's Star Wars Celebration in London, Lucasfilm announced that the final chapter in the original trilogy, Return of the Jedi, will be getting a theatrical re-release on April 28 to give fans a chance to experience the movie on the big screen again before its 40th anniversary arrives on May 25.

Just as he did for The Empire Strikes Back in 2020, artist Matt Ferguson has debuted a new poster for Jedi featuring Luke Skywalker and arguably the most recognizable and iconic villain in modern cinema, Darth Vader.

Return of the Jedi is generally seen as the low point of the trilogy, but it certainly has its moments, with the entire Jabba's palace opening sequence and Luke's final confrontation with his father and the Emperor standing out as highlights of the entire saga.

The Ewoks remain just as divisive as ever, but a lot of fans seem to have gained a bit more of an apprection for the furry little blighters over the years.
