Celebrating the Wonder of Star Wars

The Wonder of Star Wars D100

As we end this month, we begin May with another exciting commemoration of Disney100! This Wonder Wednesday, we are traveling to a galaxy far, far away to celebrate the Wonder of Star Wars.

To kick off the celebration, we’ve put together a short list of some delightful, Star Wars-inspired products.

Star Wars fans can get their hands on new collectibles from Disney Parks throughout the month of May, including recently released new pieces that guests can use while building a lightsaber at Savi’s Workshop at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. While visiting Batuu, be sure to check out all the new accessories, including a Lightsaber stand, attachable kyber crystal holders, and more. Plus, new Legacy Lightsaber collectible hilts will be available at Dok Ondar’s Den of Antiquities in Disney Parks and on shopDisney beginning May 4 and throughout the month of May. There’s also a lot of exciting new apparel coming to Disney Parks and shopDisney, including the Star Wars Meet the ’90s Collection, available now. For those who wish to walk the way of the Mandalorians, try the Star Wars: The Mandalorian Voice Changing Mask, available now on shopDisney.

Bring your favorite Star Wars characters with you wherever you go with new watches from Citizen. The Luke Skywalker Watch features a blue dial and bezel, and a rugged brown leather strap. Design elements include an X-wing starfighter and inspiration from light vs. dark duel scenes. Intricate luminous details, pushers that feature the colors of light side lightsabers, and a case back with the quote, “The Force is strong with this one,” round out this incredible timepiece. The Darth Vader Watch comes in a signature black IP case featuring red markers, luminous details, and sub dial art. Plus, a unique case back includes the phrase, “Come to the dark side.” Both timepieces are utilizing Citizen’s Eco-Drive technology, powering the watches by any light and never needing a battery.

Light side or dark side? You decide, with new products to let your inner Jedi or Sith shine. Imagine epic pretend battles in the Star Wars galaxy with the Star Wars The Black Series Luke Skywalker Force FX Elite Electronic Lightsaber from Hasbro. Build your very own TIE Bomber inspired by Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back with a building set from the LEGO Group – complete with four characters, including Darth Vader. Or, take on the challenge of constructing a LEGO brick built Boba Fett’s Starship Microfighter, featuring a Boba Fett minifigure.

Celebrate 100 years of Disney with the Pop! Darth Vader—upgraded with a new look!—making it a perfect addition to your collection. Continue the celebration with the new Pop! Darth Vader on Tie Fighter, complete with a reimagined train car version of Vader’s iconic fighter ship. And be sure to check out the R2-D2 Funko Pop!, which comes with its own special stand while a faceted look offers the cut and polish of a precious gemstone. 

Collect some of the most iconic Star Wars characters in PEZ Dispenser form! The Disney100 Gift Tin features R2-D2, Darth Vader, Grogu, and Chewbacca PEZ Dispensers in a platinum finish, all sealed in the Disney100 commemorative gift tin. The gift tin also includes one six-pack of PEZ Candy Refills. PEZ Candy is made in the U.S.A. and is free of peanut, tree nut, and gluten.

For those looking to take some Star Wars stories on the road, we have just the titles you’re looking for.

The High Republic Paperbacks Box Set—from the New York Times best-selling series set 200 years before the events of the Skywalker saga—features all three young adult novels from Phase I of The High Republic. Available in paperback for the first time with all-new cover art, this collection is perfect for newcomers and existing fans. For light and life!

An indispensable companion for all Star Wars fans, Star Wars: Timelines displays visual timelines that chronologically map key events, characters, and developments, and mark their significance. The book divides Star Wars history into seven eras: Early History, The High Republic, The Fall of the Jedi, The Reign of the Empire, The Age of Rebellion, The New Republic, and The Rise of the First Order. A must-have addition to the library of all Star Wars fans.

Both new and seasoned Star Wars fans will love Star Wars Conversation Cards. This 125-card deck features heartfelt, hilarious, and thought-provoking questions, all about Star Wars. If you could have just one Force ability in real life, which one would you pick? Would you rather face 10 porg-size space slugs or one space slug-size porg? If Anakin Skywalker’s lightsaber had been lost on Mustafar, how would Luke and Rey’s journeys have changed? With questions like these and over a hundred more, you, your friends, and your family can bond over your favorite characters, quotes, and planets from Star Wars.

Continue the adventure with Star Wars-inspired games!
