Return of the Jedi 40th Anniversary screening 4/28/23

40 years already?!? I still remember watching this for the first time back in 1997, the special editions. I fell in love with them though they weren't the original non-altered ones some fans preferred over everything that came out after their respective release years.  As for this version that just got re-released, how did it fare? + This is still the definitive version of how the Star Wars saga ended.  + It's back on the big screen and the video quality was one of the best re-releases I've seen in years. + It still has the same fun and charm as it did back in those days (for me, it was 97).  + Seeing this again made me appreciate the hero Luke was.

Or you can simply his weapons on any 5mm peg you find.  Overall, it would had been nice to paint his pincers the same to compliment his gun.  W/Kickback Both figures are light.
