Discover the Exciting Features of the LEGO Star Wars UCS X-Wing

If you’re a Star Wars fan and love building with LEGO bricks, you’ll be glad to know that LEGO has expanded its Ultimate Collector Series portfolio to include one of the legendary starships in the Star Wars franchise. The LEGO Star Wars UCS X-Wing 75355 is slated to be released starting May 4, just in time for the May the 4th celebrations.

The engines have also been updated to the correct size and shape, and new pieces have been created to replicate the proper rear angle of the wings.

But that’s not all. The canopy and the plaque have also been decorated for the first time, adding a touch of detail that fans are sure to appreciate. According to Andersen, the most impressive feature is the prominent engine parts that give the ship its unique silhouette. Even the S-foils have been designed to work seamlessly without requiring any super technical build.

The LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series X-Wing Starfighter (75355) also comes with two minifigures: Luke Skywalker and R2-D2. What’s more, the Luke Skywalker minifigure has been updated with a new design, including a lightsaber, while the R2-D2 minifigure has been modified with a new dome.

A Striking New Poster for the 40th Anniversary

In keeping with tradition, a new poster has been created to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Return of the Jedi’s theatrical release. The poster was designed by artist Matt Ferguson, who also created the poster for the 40th-anniversary screenings of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back in 2020.

The 40th Anniversary promotional poster for Star Wars: Return of the Jedi in theaters.

Ferguson’s Approach to the Poster Design

Ferguson explains his approach to designing the poster for Return of the Jedi, “For that poster, a cold mechanical vibe completely takes over the whole composition. But Return of the Jedi is very much the triumph of Luke and the Rebels, so I wanted to have more of the warmer colors coming back into the art, hence pivoting to green with red accents.”

The focus of the poster’s composition is on the two most important characters of the saga – Luke and Vader. Ferguson wanted the artwork to tell a story, so he decided to give over the composition to these two characters. “Will Luke be turned? Is Vader going to overcome the darkness? It’s all about the pull between good and evil,” he explains.

Limited-Time Screenings of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi in Theaters

Return of the Jedi will be screened from April 28 to May 4 in the US, and from April 28 to May 1 in the UK. Fans should stay tuned to StarWars.com for updates on screenings in other regions and dates.
