Article Summary

• Hasbro unveils a Star Wars Vintage Collection Old Man Anakin Skywalker figure inspired by Return of the Jedi.
• The 3.75-inch Star Wars figure honors Sebastian Shaw’s original Force ghost with an updated photoreal sculpt.
• Vintage Collection Anakin includes a soft goods cloak, premium articulation, and a Kenner-style cardback.
• Star Wars collectors can pre-order Old Man Anakin on Hasbro Pulse now for $19.99 ahead of September 2026.

Hasbro is turning back the clock with a new Star Wars: The Vintage Collection figure straight from the Original Trilogy. At the end of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, Darth Vader sacrificed himself to save Luke Skywalker from Emperor Palpatine. However, Anakin returned to the light side of the Force just moments before his death. In the film's original ending, Luke later saw Force spirits of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, and the older Anakin celebrating the Empire's defeat. Sebastian Shaw took on this role first and would become iconic among Star Wars fans. 

In later special editions released by George Lucas, Shaw's Force ghost was replaced with Hayden Christensen to connect the original trilogy with the prequel films. The original version now returns with a new and updated figure with a photoreal head sculpt and a removable fabric cloak. It is nice to see a figure that pays homage to the original actor from the film, and older Star Wars fans will surely want one in their collection. Pre-orders are already live on Hasbro Pulse for $19.99, with a September 2026 release.
