Star Wars: Return of The Jedi - MODERN TRAILER | 4K (40th Anniversary)

For sci-fi fans of a certain age, seeing the third and final entry in the original "Star Wars" trilogy back in May of 1983 was a generational rite of passage.

Three years earlier, director Irvin Kershner left us dangling precariously atop a narrative cliff when the bomb was dropped that Darth Vader might be Luke Skywalker's true father in 1980's "The Empire Strikes Back." Nooo!!

But alas, it was ultimately revealed to be true in "Return of the Jedi"  —  and then Yoda passed away, the Rebel Alliance obliterated the second Death Star, Vader and the Emperor died, Luke and Leia were now siblings, the Ewoks sang that terrible "Yub Nub" song and all was right with the galaxy far, far away.

As "Star Wars" Day appears just over the horizon this May 4, 2023, "Return of the Jedi" will return to theaters starting Friday (April 28) in preparation for the film's 40th anniversary coming on May 25, 2023. A new generation will be able to experience the iconic film's old-school charm, and older hardcore fans can relive those classic "Star Wars" moments in theaters once again since its tinkered-with Special Edition presentations back in 1997.

Went for another spoiler free misdirect vibe trailer. I made Luke seem to be training with Vader, and that there is maybe another Jedi Luke discovers
- I DID NOT show the Emperor, the Death Star, or Han Solo on PURPOSE. I hope you all Enjoyed :) HAPPY 40th Anniversary Return of The Jedi!!!

Love how you didn't show Han solo cause he was one of the cliffhangers in Empire

[williamcostigan]

You know a movie is magical when a fanmade trailer for it makes you feel chills despite having already seen it hundreds of times.

[michaeldemocko]

I watched it last night on the big screen. There are definitely times when it looks like a 40 year old movie, but the heart of it is still as strong as ever. I took my 12 year old son, he'd never seen it, and he loved it. That's all that matters.

[sagewright]

The ending celebration music in this movie is so underrated, and it was so cool to hear it dramatized for this trailer

[ObligedUniform]

That choral and orchestral rendition of the end celebration theme was so good holy shit.

[MrMangoEdits]

Amazing use of the Endor Celebration Theme for the trailer! If this was the trailer playing at theatres in 1983 I can’t imagine the hype of the fans. Amazing job dude, keep it up! 🙌

[theuzrunner]

I went to watch this in theaters for their anniversary re-release. And my god what a feeling it was to watch such a defining movie in theaters like the way it was nearly 40 years ago. Spectacular experience. Makes me appreciate this franchise more and more with every new and old piece of content

[EpicTrailerMusicUK]

Love it bro, I like how you kept a lot of mystery but managed to make it feel like a celebration…. It’s a nice blend ❤️💚

[jabman]

I remember watching this film with my late father, when that celebration music kicks I wasn't ready for you for this

[theprepperdad]

I can't tell you how many times I've seen RotJ and this Modern Trailer absolutely gave me goose bumps and all the feels. May the 4th be with you AD!

[noahkim]

1:09 that music cue is from the ending of ROTJ. Gave me absolute chills when I recognized it here

[Romero]

Amazing. Brought tears to my eyes. I was lucky enough as a kid to see the remastered original trilogy with my dad and brother. If the trailer back then was this...holy crap it would have been insane.

[thewalkerchris]

Saw ROTJ last night at a theater in Hollywood; what an incredible experience it was! Never thought I’d ever have the opportunity of seeing my favorite Star Wars film on the big screen and lemme tell ya it brought tears to my eyes!

[UnderscoreOwens]

AD I hope one day a major film franchise notices you. Your ability to tell a story without saying much is truly breath taking. You’re an artist, my friend. I’ve been here for years and I’ll never leave ❤

[falformfreeform]

The Emperors' voice is still so chilling. GOOSEBUMPS

[Chrismontt]

I'm 46 years old and the first time I saw Star Wars was in my country in a big arena they had a big projector and you could watch it at night outside... I have never forgotten that feeling, thank you for the reminder <3<3<3

[borisfrlic]

Wow... You’re a genius. Brought me right back to the early 2000’s.

That victory music always moves me to tears. So beautifully composed. It’s essence of joy.

No Han Solo = A++ move. Very clever.

[piledriver]

You did something I imagined they should have done to introduce Episode 7, the Endor Celebration Theme!! This theme is criminally underrated, underused and under appreciated! I literally got goosebumps and chills. It is such a fitting theme for not only Episode 6, but they could have used it throughout the sequel trilogy, or at least for the beginning of Episode 7 (orchestral version). Anyway, thank you very much for this and your understanding of proper Star Wars storytelling, and your recognition of important Star Wars themes!!

Many Bothans died to bring us this trailer
Great anniversary trailer Alex 🥳👍
