‘Return of the Jedi’ Returns to Theatres for its 40th Anniversary

There is nothing quite like seeing a Star Wars movie on the big screen.

Even though we’re still years away from the next new film, Star Wars fans will have the opportunity to revisit an old favourite later this year when Return of the Jedi returns to theatres this April to celebrate its 40th anniversary.

The announcement came during the 40th Anniversary of Return of the Jedi panel today at Star Wars Celebration Europe in London.

According to StarWars.com,

“Starting April 28, Return of the Jedi will return to select theaters in the US, UK, and other regions for a limited time, welcoming a whole new generation of fans to enjoy a full theatrical presentation of the iconic film for the very first time.”

A special poster for the re-release was commissioned from artist Matt Ferguson. You can check it out below,
