The Coolest ‘Star Wars’ Merch
Star Wars is a franchise that has spanned many years and many different mediums. It has expanded from movies to books, tv shows, podcasts, toys, and other various merchandise. With how long it's been around, there has been a variety of merchandise throughout the years, like T-shirts and even wacky promotional items for the movies like a battle droid drink cooler or drink toppers and cups from fast food chains. Some of these make great gifts, and some are great for the die-hard collector. These are the coolest Star Wars merch from throughout the years.
9. R2-D2 Alarm Clock
A replica of everyone's favorite droid will wake you up in the morning in the coolest way possible. It will project the time on the wall, all while making its classic R2 noises.

8. Lightsaber Chopsticks
Eat your food in style, with lightsaber chopsticks! These light up and look like lightsabers and come in various colors.
7. Promotional Drink Cups
These were released to promote Episode 1: The Phantom Menace through Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and KFC. The promotional cup was able to be ordered at one of the restaurants, and it was based on a character from the movie. The cups ranged from Queen Amidala, Darth Maul, Anakin, and Jar Jar Binks, to minor characters like Nute Gunray, Sebubla, and Mace Windu. You can find them today online, like Mercari and eBay for a hefty price.
6. Battle Droid Pepsi Dispenser
This was a Japan exclusive and is exactly as it sounds. It’s a drink cooler, that has battle droid toppers to go on top of Pepsi cans. It also comes in a battle droid carrier. This was also released to promote The Phantom Menace. It can be found on eBay, for a hefty price.
5. Inflatable Character Chairs
The chairs are of various characters in Episode 1. They’re the classic inflatable plastic chairs and are of various characters in The Phantom Menace.
4. Disney Parks Star Wars Merch
Whatever you think of the acquisition of Star Wars by Disney, the merch available at Disney parks is very cool. You can get a Sarlacc coin bank, that will simulate a Sarlacc eating your coin. You can get statues, that emulate the ones that were in the Jedi temple. Or even lightsabers from your favorite characters, and different color kyber crystals to go in it. The merch at Disney parks is some of the coolest new merch in my opinion.
3. Carbonized Black Series Boba Fett
This Boba Fett is beautiful. This is a Black Series Boba Fett, based on the bounty hunter from Empire Strikes Back. It has a sleek metallic green finish, and the toy looks super cool.
2. Star Wars Build A Bears
Darth Vader, Darth Maul, Rey, Ahsoka, Grogu, and Mando have all had the honor of being Build a Bears, and they are all adorable.
1. Max Rebo Geeky Tiki
The geeky tikis are awesome, but this one takes the cake. It’s my favorite blue alien from Episode VI: Return of the Jedi-Max Rebo from the Max Rebo Band, but in tiki form! This is the one item on this list I have, and this item is even cooler in person.
Over the years, Star Wars has released a variety of merchandise. A lot of these items on the list are from the promotion for The Phantom Menace. It was the first time in many years, that a new Star Wars movie was coming out, so promotion needed to be big, and it appears it was. I wish I was able to get some of these items when they were first released, as they’re just so fun and a great way to promote the movie. I hope to find one of the drink cups at a reasonable price someday, as they are all currently out of my price range, and in my opinion, one of the coolest items on this list.
