As the Star Wars 45th Anniversary celebration gets underway, StockX is your place to grab the best goods from a galaxy far, far away.

While it has been nearly three years since the last Star Wars movie hit theaters, it feels as though the force has never been stronger than in 2022. Thanks to Disney+’s The Book of Boba Fett, we have already learned how Boba Fett managed to survive all of this time in the Sarlacc pit, and we are now just a week away from the Obi-Wan Kenobi series that promises to show us the first confrontation between the powerful Jedi and Anakin Skywalker since Obi-Wan managed to defeat Darth after taking the high ground on Mustafar. While we are still waiting on hyperdrive technology to make its way from the Star Wars galaxy to our own, the franchise has made its way to our world through its several kicks, collectible, and card collaborations. So, with the 45th Anniversary celebration upon us, StockX has everything you need to reconnect with your love of the franchise whether your passion started with the original Skywalker Trilogy or when Baby Yoda took over the internet.

adidas Rivalry Hi Star Wars Chewbacca

Wookiees command respect, with their size and strength they make for powerful allies, but as Han Solo warned us all in A New Hope, “It’s not wise to upset a Wookiee.” The adidas Rivalry Hi Star Wars Chewbacca will not only garner you the respect of the fuzzy fighters but will also flaunt your unmistakable fandom for the franchise. While the fur accents are first to grab attention, the shoe is packed with other details that pay tribute to the Millenium Falcon’s trusted co-pilot, including a brushed exterior that makes your footwear reminiscent of the Wookiee’s actual feet, and even Chewbacca’s signature bandolier comes strapped across the shoe’s tongue underneath the laces. It is hard to imagine that Chewie’s reaction to seeing these sneakers would be anything short of an exuberant, “Grrawarggggg!”

LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series AT-AT Set 75313

The most intricate LEGO Star Wars sets are released within the Ultimate Collector Series. The subgenre of Star Wars LEGO sets was first introduced in 2000 with the X-Wing and Tie Interceptor. On StockX, none of these sets has been more popular than the LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series AT-AT Set, which has traded over 500 times since its release on Black Friday in 2021. 

The set is composed of 6,785 pieces, measures over two feet tall, and packs the power that the Galactic Empire brought to the icy planet of Hoth when Darth Vader’s forces pressured the Rebel Alliance to evacuate their secret base in a rush during the events of The Empire Strikes Back. This LEGO AT-AT’s exterior cockpit includes rotating cannons on either side that allow for realistic recoil. Inside, you will find a fully manned cockpit with room for two AT-AT pilot Minifigures and one General Veers Minifigure. The main cabin is equipped with a removable side panel and is divided up into six compartments, three of which are for troop transport, one that houses a pair of LEGO speeder bikes, one that stores a model E-Web Heavy repeating blaster, and one that gives you a glimpse of a LEGO replica of the tank’s engine. 

Of course, all of these details may be trumped by the Luke Skywalker Minifigure that can be attached by a hook and line to the vehicle’s exterior bomb hatch, just like in The Empire Strikes Back when the Jedi in training is able to take down an AT-AT from the inside out. Even better, the LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series AT-AT Set has been selling for an average of $125 below its $800 retail price on StockX.

2021 Topps Star Wars Masterwork Hobby Box

Topps Star Wars Masterwork has become an annual high-end release staple for movie card collectors. The 2021 edition goes well beyond its 100 card base set that highlights major characters across the galaxy and brings collectors a slew of cast member autographs, relic cards, that include pieces of saga used costume swatches sewn into the cards, and limited edition Postage Stamp cards. The autograph cards are where the top prizes in the set lie as A-list cast members such as Harrison Ford as Han Solo, Adam Driver as Kylo Ren, Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan, Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia, and Natalie Portman as Queen Amidala all offer their signatures in addition to series favorites like Hayden Christensen, Ian McDiarmid, and John Boyega, plus more. Maybe you’ll even be lucky enough to pull one of the Jar Jar Binks autographs signed by actor Ahmed Best.

The Topps Star Wars Masterwork Hobby Box comes absolutely loaded with chances to hit huge cards as each Master Hobby Box holds 20 total cards and promises two autographs, in addition to two additional hits that could come in the form of Sketch Cards, Costume Relics, Postage Stamp cards, or more. The 2021 Topps Star Wars Masterwork Hobby Box truly lets serious fans bring pieces of the galaxy far, far away into their home.

Kith Star Wars Jedi Vs Sith Vintage Tee

The last two decades have provided Star Wars fans with plenty of divisive moments from the prequel trilogy that featured Hayden Christensen’s Anakin Skywalker’s bizarre explanation about his hatred of sand, to the inconsistent direction of the most recent trilogy. However, while small discrepancies exist between fan’s rankings of the variety of Star Wars stories on the big and small screen, the original three films typically rank at the top of everyone’s list. 

Fully aware of the attachment many have to the first installment of the Skywalker Saga, the New York-based brand Kith released a Star Wars capsule collection at the end of 2021 that was made up of hoodies, hats, shirts, collectibles, plus more, which all feature imagery and characters from that first space Western trilogy. The most popular item from the exclusive drop is the Kith Star Wars Jedi Vs Sith Vintage Tee that shows Luke Skywalker’s gloved hand raising his green lightsaber in front of an army of Jedi beneath a puff print Kith logo, with the words “May the Force be with you.” printed to the side of the lightsaber. This imagery is juxtaposed with Darth Vader’s lightsaber illuminating a full battalion of Storm Troopers on the back. The vintage wash of this shirt gives the recent release a look that makes it appear as though it stepped out of 1983 when Return of the Jedi premiered.

Funko Pop! Die-Cast Star Wars Boba Fett Funko Shop Exclusive Figure #01

The last 45 years have supplied us with countless Star Wars toys, which is how George Lucas famously made most of his fortune. The creator of the series famously worked for a relatively modest annual salary of $150,000 from Fox Studios in exchange for the merchandising rights. That trade has seen Lucas make billions through toy and apparel sales, even before he sold the Star Wars rights to Disney in 2012. 

The Funko Pop! Star Wars series has become one of the most coveted collectibles from Lucas’ deep lineup of toys, and so far this year no release has captured more attention than the Funko Pop! Die-Cast Star Wars Boba Fett Funko Shop Exclusive Figure #01. This 4-inch Pop! shows the feared Bounty Hunter in his recognizable beskar armor donned by all Mandalorian warriors. The figure comes with a transparent display case that resembles the exterior box, and a sticker that notes the statue as a Funko.com Exclusive. You can even hunt for the rare chase edition of this Boba Fett Funko Pop! that comes in a Metallic Silver colorway.

Star Wars The Mandalorian Nerf Amban Phase-Pulse Blaster

Throughout the show’s first two seasons (and the character’s extended appearance in The Book of Boba Fett), The Mandalorian’s Din Djarin always seems to have the perfect gadget or weapon to work his way out of any predicament. Disney and Star Wars have not missed the chance to capitalize on the highly merchandisable series and there is no better example of this than the Star Wars The Mandalorian Nerf Amban Phase-Pulse Blaster

This single-shot blaster is the longest Nerf blaster manufactured to date and comes with ten silver Nerf dart rounds that can be loaded into the spring action breech, and even makes loading sound effects when primed for fire. Just past the loading chamber, you will find an LED-illuminated scope that allows you to zero in on your target before launching the dart at up to 64 feet per second. A special edition 53″ long display box is also included and features gold-foil detailing, embossing, and illustrations inspired by the series so that it can proudly stand out among all of your Star Wars souvenirs.

Squishmallow Star Wars The Mandalorian Baby Yoda The Child 20 Inch Plush

Squishmallow Star Wars The Mandalorian Baby Yoda The Child 20 Inch Plush

Thinking about Star Wars conjures up images of epic battles, impressive spacecraft, and some of the most breathtaking moments of character redemption in Hollywood history, but it has also brought about some of the cutest creatures ever created. While some have been controversial, exhibit A: the Ewoks, exhibit B: Porgs, others have literally taken center stage in our modern culture. There is no better example of this than when Baby Yoda ruled over the internet during season one of The Mandalorian in 2019. Somehow, someone found a way to make everyone’s favorite intergalactic infant even more adorable in the form of a marshmallow-soft Squishmallow. The Squishmallow Star Wars The Mandalorian Baby Yoda The Child is quite literally the perfect pillow, as it is made from ultra-soft spandex EF fabric and stuffed with squishy polyester fiber. If the comfort this guy provides doesn’t do it for you, then this writer dares you to look into its glimmering eyes and say it’s not the cutest must-have for your collection.

KAWS Star Wars Darth Vader Mini Version Vinyl Figure

Star Wars is so woven into the fabric of our current culture that even the world of fine art and design has taken notice. In 2013, the Brooklyn based artist KAWS came together with Japan’s Medicom Toy to collaborate on a trio of Star Wars vinyl figures, the final edition released in the set was this KAWS Star Wars Darth Vader Mini Version Vinyl Figure that took a classic black KAWS Companion complete with the artist’s signature X’d out eyes in red, and fully dressed it in the Sith Lord’s iconic helmet, cloak, and suit. This distinctive piece is sure to set your Star Wars collection apart from most in the community, as it truly demonstrates that you have gone to the farthest reaches of the Star Wars galaxy with your super fandom. And, if you want to strengthen your connection with the force on an even greater level, you can upgrade to the larger edition.
