2023 marks the 40th anniversary of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, and forty storytellers have been assembled to re-create iconic moments from the film with a collection of short stories in the latest edition of From A Certain Point of View.
@DelReyStarWars (via SFFGazette.com) recently shared teasers for all those shorts, including one which promises to be very exciting for fans of this Galaxy Far, Far Away.
In Return of the Jedi, after Darth Vader saved his son and killed Emperor Palpatine, finding redemption in the process. He later stood proudly alongside the Force Ghosts of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda as Anakin Skywalker and, as you can see in the excerpt below, we'll pick up with the latter's Force Ghost moments after the movie's closing moments.
In fact, Mike Chen's tale will reveal what happened when Anakin reunited with his former Master.

We can't wait to see what follows and whether the story will explain why we haven't seen Anakin's Force Ghost since. Tellingly, the official blurb for this story says, "Anakin Skywalker becomes one with the Force in a gripping tale." Could this be the moment he bids a final farewell to the Galaxy?
