A collection of commemorative coin designs will be released by the Royal Mint to mark the 40th anniversary of Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi.
It is the first time characters from the sci-fi series will feature on an official UK coin.
The third film of the original trilogy, starring Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford, was released in 1983.
Characters including friendly robots C-3PO and R2-D2 will be the first to feature on the 50p coins as part of the four-coin collection.
