Return of the Jedi is an illustrated adaptation of Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi. This version is part of the Mighty Chronicles series and was brought to us by Chronicle Books in December of 1996.
- Despite its release coinciding with the Special Edition trilogy launch, the artwork and narrative are based solely on the original 1983 theatrical release. A prime example is the sarlacc , which is depicted without its beak.
- One of the illustrations depicts R2-D2 peering into Yoda's dwelling while it's raining, at the time of Yoda's death. This particular illustration is actually from a scene in The Empire Strikes Back , specifically the moment when Luke shared a meal with Yoda. In the Return of the Jedi film, Artoo was occupied with repairing Luke's X-wing during Yoda's passing, and the weather was not rainy.
- Anakin Skywalker's final words are rendered as "You already have, Luke."
- One illustration portrays Leia embracing Han Solo on a walkway within the Ewok village as she confesses that Luke is her brother. However, in the movie, the scene depicted in the illustration happens earlier, specifically after Luke leaves Endor.
