I can’t believe it has been 40 years since the release of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. I feel so old now :-). Today LEGO has announced two new diorama building sets featuring iconic scenes from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi for us LEGO Star Wars fans, to mark that 40 years since the film’s original release.
With these two sets Star Wars fans will be able to re-build the iconic final duel between Darth Vader™ and Luke Skywalker™ in the Emperor’s Throne Room. But they can also participate on the forest floor and recreate that super fast Endor Speeder Chase. Each set is packed with recognizable characters and the chance to re-create these memorable moments.
“It’s hard to over-state the impact that Return of the Jedi has had on popular culture since its release 40 years ago, and it was a real pleasure as a fan to help create these new dioramas that celebrate some of the film’s most iconic moments,”
– Jens Kronvold Frederiksen, Design Lead for LEGO Star Wars.
