It’s another mega pre-order day for Hasbro with most of the Star Wars Celebration reveals going up for pre-order today. As usual, we will post a pre-order breakdown with links at the 1 PM Eastern launch time, but since there are quite a few, here’s a breakdown of what to expect today:
The Vintage Collection
The Black Series
TBS Return of the Jedi 40th Anniversary
The Black Series Roleplay & Other Stuff
The rest of the Star Wars Celebration reveals will go up for pre-order on May 4th.
It’s the 40th Anniversary of Return of the Jedi, and Matt Ferguson has again made a beautiful poster to celebrate the event! For this release, Matt’s following up with the same style as his The Empire Strikes Back 40th Anniversary poster. Hopefully, we will be seeing the full DS version of this poster on Disney Movie Insiders soon!
Fans attending the 40 Years of Return of the Jedi panel yesterday at Star Wars Celebration were treated with a 13×19 version of this poster on their way out.
Return of the Jedi will also be heading back to select theaters starting on April 28th. Read about that and more at Starwars.com.
Since the Hasbro Panel that streamed on YouTube is a recording, all the reveals have already been posted on their Facebook page! So what can The Vintage Collection and The Black Series collectors look forward to? A new The Vintage Collection HasLab for 2023 was also announced (without any further details though).
