Well, Lucasfilm and Disney did promise the biggest Force Friday event in Star Wars history.
On the eve of tomorrow’s global merchandise launch, Hasbro has lifted the curtain on its monstrous lineup of products based on the characters, vehicles, droids, Stormtroopers, and even the porgs of Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Embedded below, all of the tie-in merch featured in today’s gallery will be available to purchase from 12:01 a.m. on Friday, September 1st. If you’re curious, pricing details and other product specifications can be found over on the Hasbro website.
Of all the many characters pictured, fans have already dissected the Executioner Stormtroopers of Rian Johnson’s blockbuster sequel, a special task force unit that will seemingly be known as the First Order Judicial come December. Built to handle any deserters in the vein of FN-2187, the Force Friday II figurines will be exclusive to Target ($19.99), with the official description revealing that these no-nonsense enforcers have no trouble “dispensing final justice.”
Notable by their absence? The First Order’s Mandator IV class Dreadnought and the AT-M6, which is essentially a super-sized version of the famous AT-AT walkers that preyed on the Rebel Alliance all those years ago. You will, however, be able to go up close and personal with the A-Wing and Kylo Ren’s deadly, revamped TIE Interceptor. It’s now known as the TIE Silencer, and we can only imagine it’ll be causing all sorts of headaches for Resistance pilots in a few months’ time.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi has a release date of December 15th, while those itching for the film’s latest and greatest merchandise can expect the Force Friday extravaganza to get underway tomorrow, September 1st. Keep an eye on Disney, Hasbro, Lego, Target, Toy R Us for other products based on The Last Jedi.
