Just in time for this year’s Star Wars Day (May the 4th be with you, obviously), Kith has announced a capsule collection of adult’s and kids’ apparel, accessories, and home goods in celebration of the 40th anniversary of ‘Star Wars: Return of the Jedi’. Graphics and movie posters from the original release of the film have been tapped by Kith and turned into downtown-proper streetwear pieces, present on quarter-zips, varsity tees, and a range of t-shirts.

“I love cinema, and some of my favorite memories are going to the theater with my friends growing up,” shares Kith founder, Ronnie Fieg. “Movies have shaped the way I see the world, and Star Wars especially has had a major impact on me. Being able to reimagine illustrations, graphics, and characters from their archive through my lens has been a dream come true.”

The collection features a wide range of curated designs with acute attention paid to detail, sure to make fans more than pleased. For example, the varsity jackets in the collection feature an Italian wool fabric and satin lining, while embroidered threads create imagery that coincides with patches referencing ‘Return of the Jedi‘. In addition to the clothing offered, the home accessory offerings are sure to satisfy any collector; including wall clocks laden with Darth Vader imagery, a Boba Fett ceramic cookie jar, and a range of cleverly designed co-branded wall posters.

“Collaborating with Ronnie and the Kith team across multiple Disney brands has allowed us to expand our storytelling and product offerings to today’s cultural pioneers,” shares Executive Vice President of Global Brand Commercialization at The Walt Disney Company, Paul Gitter. “’Return of the Jedi’ is a film that is a vital part of the Star Wars identity, and Kith has captured the essence of this iconic film through a collection that is simultaneously nostalgic and modern, appealing to both global Star Wars fans and Kith consumers.”
