New Star Wars Merchandise at Disney Parks
To celebrate Star Wars Day, Disney has revealed a number of new products that are now available or will arrive sometime this month. MiceChat’s Dusty Sage gives a quick run-through of what Disney had to share:
Some of the merchandise, such as the Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run Series Wishables Mystery Bags (and Chewbacca!) and the Star Wars Action Figure Spirit Jersey can also be found in shopDisney’s Star Wars section along with many other new items added just in time for Star Wars Day.
And here’s a closer look at a number of the products.
The Ahsoka Tano Legacy Lightsaber Hilts were sold on shopDisney this morning but are now sold out. Hopefully, they come to the parks as well. She’s become such a popular character.
Vera Bradley Star Wars Collection
Vera Bradley is no stranger to partnerships with Disney, and their next collaborative project is inspired by the Star Wars universe, with a focus on the original trilogy. First, here’s a peek at some of the patterns it includes. The “Far, Far Away” and “Far, Far Away Light vs. Dark” patterns will be printed on recycled cotton, and the “Far, Far Away Medallion” will be on their ReActive material (made from recycled PET water bottles).
Vera Bradley’s Star Wars Collection launched today, May the 4th, on their online store and in Vera Bradley stores nationwide, and includes 52 items. You can find the entire collection here but let’s take a look at some of our favorite pieces:
Star Wars RFID Passport Wallet ($60)
Traveling the galaxy sounds incredibly exciting but don’t forget your passport! And you can hold that passport in this RFID-blocking wallet, decorated with Star Wars characters and the emblems of the First Order and the Rebellion. Aside from holding your passport, the wallet also has an ID window, five card pockets, and two slip pockets (plus a zippered pouch on the back!) for whatever else you’ll need.
Zip ID Case ($25) – Storm Troopers, The Message, Yoda
Whether you need to prove your identity to a Storm Trooper or just carry your transit card, one of these Zip ID Cases will prove most helpful. Each one has an ID window on one side and an embroidered image on the other (either a group of Storm Troopers, Princess Leia and R2-D2, or Yoda). The inside of the case also has a separate hidden pocket to hold an additional card. Use the case’s keyring to attach it to your keychain or a reel clip for easy access. Which design is your favorite?
This tote bag is made using the Far, Far Away pattern in recycled cotton. The interior has a detailed lining and includes six slip pockets as well as a zippered closure up top. The bag’s outside not only has a lovely image of Princess Leia on one side and R2-D2 but also features a zippered pocket and a hidden top pocket.
Made in Vera Bradley’s lightweight and water-repellent ReActive fabric, this eye-catching sling backpack includes an exterior zippered pocket (found on the side seam) and a patch pocket compartment with even more external zippered compartments plus a slip pocket and two pen slots inside. There is also a D-ring on the top of the bag’s strap for keys (or maybe an ID case?).
If you want to see these items up close and happen to be at Walt Disney World, head over to the Vera Bradley Store in Disney Springs! Our team paid a visit to the store and took some photos of a few of the things they found (there are plenty more not shown here):
Star Wars Loungefly
Ewoks and Droids Glow-in-the-Dark Mini Backpack ($90)
A mash-up of two 80s Star Wars animated TV shows, “Ewoks” and “Droids,” this Mini Backpack finds C-3PO and R2-D2 having an electrifying encounter with the Ewoks. Master Logray seems to have the pair suspended in mid-air with a “Zap!” The magical effects glow in the dark. The lining on the inside is filled with the characters from both shows (specifically Wicket, Princess Kneesaa, R2-D2, and C-3PO) along with the logos for both shows (these are also found on the back of the Mini Backpack). The sides are lined with tree trunks, as you would expect from a forest village setting.
Ewoks and Droids Glow-in-the-Dark Zip Around Wallet ($40)
The front side of this Zip Around Wallet uses the same art as the Mini Backpack and has a similar glow-in-the-dark effect. However, R2-D2 and C-3PO are on the same layer as the rest of the art, as opposed to an additional cutout applique like on the Mini Backpack. The backside depicts the Ewok village, hidden amongst the trees. The inside of the wallet features four card slots, an ID card window, and a zippered pocket.
Boba Fett Cosplay Mini Backpack ($75)
All you aspiring galactic bounty hunters are going to love this Mini Backpack made to resemble Boba Fett. The main body of the bag and front pocket resembles the character’s helmet and armor. The Mythosaur skull insignia is embroidered on one of the sides and also engraved on the backside with the phrase “He is no good to me dead.” And in case there was any doubt about which character this bag was supposed to represent, the lining says “Boba Fett” over and over again.
Star Wars: Ladies of the Rebellion Collection – Mini Backpack ($90), Crossbody Bag ($75), Wallet ($40)
This collection envisions the heroines of the Star Wars universe in an Art Nouveau style. The women showcased are Ahsoka Tano, Princess Leia, Queen Amidala, and Rey. Each one is honored with a panel in the design. The print used on the lining for this collection is decorated with emblems representing each of the four characters.
The Star Wars: Ladies of the Rebellion Collection will be available from Loungefly’s online store on May 4.
Star Wars: Lands Jakku – Mini Backpack ($75), Wallet ($40)
Dedicated to Rey’s home planet, this collection uses simple lines and colors to create a sunset as it would appear on Jakku.
The Star Wars: Lands Jakku Collection will be listed on Loungefly’s online store on May 4 but not for purchase. Instead, fans can select the “Notify Me” option to be emailed once available.
Star Wars: Vaders I am Your Father’s Day – Mini Backpack ($75), Wallet ($40)
The all-over print used in this collection features charming art by Jeffery Brown, the creator of the books “Darth Vader & Son” and “Vader’s Little Princess.” The lining has the classic line “In a galaxy far, far away….”
Like the Star Wars: Lands Jakku Collection, Star Wars: Vaders I am Your Father’s Day Collection will be listed on Loungefly’s online store on May 4 but not for purchase. Instead, fans can select the “Notify Me” option to be emailed once available.
Fun Jasco Star Wars Items
You can view Jasco’s entire range of Star Wars products here. And from May 1-5, you can get up to 30 percent off some nightlights when you purchase directly through Jasco.
The Child Plug-In LED Mini Night Light ($6.99)
The Child can watch over your sleeping child with this sweet little night light. As if using the Force, it can sense when it is dark or light and turn itself on as needed. It uses an LED bulb, which is cool to touch, energy-efficient, and has a long lifespan.
BB-8 LED Color-Changing Night Light ($13.99)
Like Jasco’s The Child night light, this BB-8 night light also senses a room’s light levels and turns on automatically when it gets dark. It also has an additional feature: different light options. This night light cycles through eight different colors and you can also have it stick to one of them by tapping it with your finger. And for those night light purists, there is still the traditional white light mode.
Death Star Projectables LED Night Light Projector ($19.99)
That’s no moon … it’s a light projector. This small but powerful device plugs into your outlet just like a night light and can project a 3-foot image on an 8 to 12-foot wall, ceiling, or floor (it can be tilted up or down to position the image where you want it). And because the projector itself is shaped like the Death Star, it is only fitting the image it projects depicts Darth Vader joined by a pair of Storm Troopers with the Death Star and a TIE Fighters in the background.
CITIZEN says “It’s Star Wars Time”
The high-end watchmaker CITIZEN has chosen May the 4th as the perfect time to preview their upcoming Star Wars x CITIZEN Tsuno Collection. The collection, which will release this fall, includes four watch designs, each styled after a character from Star Wars (Darth Vader, R2-D2, C-3PO, and Darth Maul). Every piece uses CITIZEN’s Tsuno (Japanese for “horn”) Chrono model and features two buttons on either side of the top of the watch with the crown in between at the 12 o’clock position. They evoke different aspects of their respective character’s appearance and also include an image of them etched on the back of the watch. R2-D2 costs $350 while the other three cost $375 each.
The Star Wars x CITIZEN Tsuno Collection will be available in Fall 2022 from CITIZEN’s online store and select physical retailers nationwide
Fun Shoes are Cosplay for Your Feet
Over at Fun.com, three new pairs of Star Wars shoes have been listed. These would be perfect for your next Disneybound outfit. Themed to either Boba Fett, Chewbacca, or Rebel Princess Leia, they cost $49.99 a pair. Each one is a different style of shoe. Boba Fett is high-tops, Chewbacca is low-tops, and Leia is women’s sneakers.
All three shoes are available for preorder and are expected to arrive by early August.
shopDisney Goes Star Wars
UPDATE: shopDisney has now added a whole section for Star Wars Day merchandise.
LEGO Boba Fett’s Throne Room ($99.99)
Taken from the Disney+ series, “Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett,” this 732-piece LEGO set of Boba Fett’s throne room is certainly the most interactive of the Star Wars Day merchandise featured here. It comes with seven LEGO Minifigures: Boba Fett, Fennec Shand, and Bib Fortuna, plus a Theelin Dancer, Weequay Guard, Gamorrean Guard, and a Quarren along with several different weapons for them. And once built, the playset can open up to reveal a kitchen and barbeque area, complete with a rotisserie. Other fun features include an eject button in the throne room, a secret cache of weapons, a quaking staircase, and a gate that opens.
Han Solo and Princess Leia Beverage Gift Set ($184.99)
This beverage gift set is perfect for any Star Wars-loving couple. Packaged within an engraved wooden box are two fluted beverage glasses, two cork coasters, and a bottle opener. One of the glasses has Princess Leia’s famous hairstyle and the quote “I love you.” The matching one has Han Solo’s ship, the Millennium Falcon, and the responded “I know.” Each glass can hold 12 ounces and are dishwasher safe. Both Leia’s buns and Han’s ship are also engraved on the sliding door of the box.
