With 2023 marking the 30th anniversary of Return of the Jedi, the toy makers at Jazwares are unveiling a special surprise for Star Wars fans: an exclusive set of vehicles based on concept art from George Lucas’s original trilogy-capper.

There will be three Star Wars Micro Galaxy Squadron Storyboard ships available at San Diego Comic-Con later this month.

The X-wing and A-wing fighters and TIE Interceptor feature unique shaded coloring and detailing that pay homage to the film original storyboards, allowing fans to recreate the climactic battle pitting Rebels against the Empire’s fully operational second Death Star.

The 5-inch X-wing includes S-foils that can open into attack position, retractable landing gear, an opening cockpit canopy and a working droid socket, along with a 1-inch pilot and astromech micro figures. The A-wing features similarly adjustable elements and a pilot, while the 3-inch TIE Interceptor has removable wings and a hatch, to insert the pilot. Each vehicle’s packaging includes excerpts from the original storyboards and will be available for $19.99 apiece.

The vehicles are just a few of Jazwares’s limited-edition offerings at this year’s Comic-Con, which will also include a quartet of limited-edition critters from of the hugely popular (and hugely cuddly) Squishmallows as well as a 28-piece set of Pokémon figures and toy incarnations of the brand’s key video-game licenses. Here’s your exclusive first look at the SDCC lineup, available at the Jazewares booth July 19-23.
