What A Return of the Jedi Post-Credits Scene Could Look Like
Return of the Jedi gets an appropriate post-credits scene in a new fan edit. Setting up future adventures via short scenes embedded within or appearing after a movie’s credits was not really a thing when the third Star Wars movie was released back in 1983.
But of course a lot has changed in the past several decades and nowadays post-credits scenes are a very big deal indeed. Movie audiences in fact have been conditioned to remain in their seats as the credits roll, as they anticipate added content that might provide a tease for a future film or even offer a huge character introduction (as in the recent MCU film Eternals, which used a mid-credits moment to bring in Harry Styles’ character Eros). But even as post-credits scenes gain in popularity and are increasingly used as a storytelling tool by filmmakers, there’s one franchise that has steadfastly avoided jumping on the bandwagon. Still to this day, there has never been a Star Wars movie that included an after-credits moment of any significance.

That long-established tradition of Star Wars movies eschewing post-credits stingers of course means nothing to fan editors who are happy to go back and make whatever changes they like to classic films of the past. One such editor has now done their work on Return of the Jedi, giving the third film of the original Star Wars trilogy a post-credits scene that couldn’t be more appropriate or frankly obvious.
