Return of the Jedi (book-and-record)

Return of the Jedi is a children's book accompanied by a record, which came out in 1983. The book provided a story-based adaptation of the movie Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi. It was created by Jymn Magon and released as part of the Read-Along Adventures series from Buena Vista Records. In 1984, the cassette version was re-released within a collection that included adaptations of the first two original movies.

The identical audio and text were repurposed for the Classic Star Wars: Return of the Jedi book-and-tape in 1995, although the packaging and the photos inside were different.
