ARTIST JERRY ORDWAY PAYS HOMAGE TO MARVEL'S ORIGINAL COMIC ADAPTATION OF RETURN OF THE JEDI IN NEW CLASSIC TRADE DRESS VARIANT COVERS!

Check out all four CLASSIC TRADE DRESS VARIANT COVERS, debuting on select Star Wars titles this July! Marvel Comics and Star Wars’ decades-long history of comics storytelling will be spotlighted in a unique way this summer with a new line of CLASSIC TRADE DRESS VARIANT COVERS. This month marks 46 years since Marvel’s initial venture into a galaxy far, far away with the publication of the official comic adaptation of 1977’s Star Wars, now known as A New Hope. Hitting stands over a month before the film’s May theatrical release, the first-ever Star Wars comic series was a mega success, and Marvel continued the tradition of comics adaptations with the subsequent films, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Return of the Jedi, artist Jerry Ordway pays tribute to legendary artist Bill Sienkiewicz’s iconic covers for 1983’s Star Wars: Return of the Jedi comic series with these new CLASSIC TRADE DRESS VARIANT COVERS. Teaming up with colorist Nola

MONOPOLY: STAR WARS: RETURN OF THE JEDI EDITION IS A THING OF BEAUTY!

Return of the Jedi Monopoly Is A Must! I t's Star Wars Celebration weekend and it's inevitable that there will be a lot of exciting announcements.  More movies to new action figures From Indiana Jones and Star Wars. Naturally they are going to grab the relevant headlines which will of course lead to some other announcements being a little stifled but I felt it was only worth bringing to your attention this little beauty.  The Return of the Jedi edition of an old classic, Monopoly.  Just look at that box artwork!  It's worth buying just for that but look inside too and you will see they've really gone to town on the board and the pieces. I make no secret that Return of the Jedi is my favourite Star Wars movie and seeing anything Jedi makes me smile.  I don't collect Monopoly but this beauty might just be in my collection come May 23. (HASBRO/Ages 8 years & up/Players: 2-6/Approx. Retail Price: $44.99/Available: Summer 2023) Imagine traveling to Tatooine, Dagobah,

THREE NEW STAR WARS FILMS ANNOUNCED AT CELEBRATION LONDON

Official Lucasfilm Release After years of starts and stops, unsubstantiated rumors and abrupt cancellations, Lucasfilm made a statement Friday morning in announcing three new theatrical feature films at Star Wars Celebration in London. The films will be directed by James Mangold ( Logan , Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny ), Dave Filoni ( The Clone Wars , Star Wars: Rebels , The Mandalorian , Book of Boba Fett ) and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy ( Ms. Marvel ) will helm films set in very different and newly labeled eras within the Star Wars Universe. No release dates were associated with any of these films, but as we’ve seen in the past, release dates aren’t the most reliable in the galaxy. Mangold’s film will deal with the origins of the Jedi, set 25,000 years before the events of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace (1999). I really like this, and not just because it matches my idea for what future films should cover. One of the main things that sets Star Wars apart from generic science fictio
