Star Warsis an intergenerational phenomenon.The original movies are, of course, timeless classics, and, though the quality of the later films is… disputed, the fact that every generation since has had a set of Star Wars films to grow up with has ensured that the universe and many of its central elements have a nostalgic quality for all of us.
The Star Wars universe is superb at capturing the imagination, and children have the strongest imaginations anywhere. Pretending to be a Jedi, or some other figure from the Star Wars universe, is now a universal childhood experience. Here are some of the best toys with which to aid in such play.
Star Wars Rebel Alliance Figure Set
Play out rebellious adventures
This set of small action figures contains representations of five beloved members of the rebel alliance, as they appeared in the original trilogy, perfect for carrying your child on all sorts of galactic adventures.
As stated in the intro, the greatest theme of a child’s play, especially when it comes to toys associated with an existing story like Star Wars, is imagination. Children naturally gravitate toward acting out their own stories, and one of the greatest tools for facilitating that is representations of existing characters, and that’s exactly what we have for you here!
These smallaction figures representing much of the main cast of the original trilogyare perfect for acting out rebellious missions and epic space battles. If your young Star Wars fan enjoys that kind of thing, this product is for you!
Star Wars The Vintage Collection Darth Vader
If I referenced the famous line, would that technically be a dad joke?
Heroes alone are of no use without someone to fight against, and this 6-inch action figure representing the Star Wars universe’s most iconic villain is here to bring you just that.
Stories require conflict. The point of a hero is to fight a villain. A story cannot exist with all heroes or all villains, but, rather, is a chemical reaction that occurs when these things come into contact. Therefore, your child’s play requires a villain, and that’s just where this figure comes in.
This Darth Vader action figure is at the same scale as the set above. With both products, your child will have everything they need to act out epic adventures.
Star Wars Galaxy Of Adventures The Mandalorian 2-Pack
Some more characters to fill out fantasies
This two-pack contains a pair of five-inch action figures representing an old Star Wars character, a Storm Trooper, and a new one, the Mandalorian who stars in the show of the same name.
Perhaps your child would like some more characters to fill out their cast. This two-pack is a great way of providing it. There are two characters here. One is a storm trooper, a basic enemy that the rebellion is sure to fight on a wide variety of missions. The other is a character who’d more likely be an ally to the rebellion, the Mandalorian, the ultimately heroic, if serious, main character from the Disney+ series of the same name.
Star Wars Lightsaber Forge - Luke Skywalker
Fight for the light side!
Since the advent of Star Wars, toy lightsabers have become a basic staple of every child’s toy collection. There are quite a few to choose from, but this one’s customizability makes it one of our favorites.
As stated in the intro, pretending to be a Jedi is, in the modern day, as universal a childhood experience as education or puberty. This inevitably involves some kind of lightsaber, and, while baseball bats, yardsticks, and similar objects will do in a pinch,the ideal toy lightsaber is an officially licensed and relatively lifelike recreation.
That’s exactly what this product is. Part of the Lightsaber Forge series of toy lightsabers, this hardy plastic stick glows and buzzes like a real Jedi weapon, and is perfect for lightsaber duels with friends. Though it is a fun toy on its own, maximum benefit from this product is gained by having several Forceforge sabers, such asthis green oneandthis red one. With those products together, up to three children will be able to create their own mixed and matched custom lightsabers, andplay out their own fantastic, galactic journeys.
Star Wars The Black Series Imperial Stormtrooper Electronic Helmet
Top quality costume item
This Storm Trooper helmet is the perfect bit of costuming for anyone, child or otherwise, who wants to play the role of one of the Empire’s ruthless, top-of-the-line enforcers.
Props aren’t the only kind of role-play aid. There are also costumes. Indeed, there is an enormous variety of Star Wars costumes.We previously made a whole list of them, and we’re going to showcase a few more here.
One of the most ubiquitous helmets in the Star Wars universe is the one that belongs to the Storm Troopers, the enforcers of the Empire’s will. Their white helmet is iconic, and this extremely high-quality electronic recreation of it is full of bells and whistles that make for top-tier play as one of their number.
Star Wars The Mandalorian Electronic Mask
This is the way
This helmet allows children to dress up as one of the more fascinating and iconic characters from the new era of Star Wars: The Mandalorian who stars in the show of the same name.
Perhaps you want to be a character a bit less interchangable than a storm trooper, or perhaps you simply want to be a good guy. Either way, that’s what you’ll get with this Mandalorian mask. This electronic helmet comes with a number of pre-recorded voice lines, each an iconic line from the titular character. There are also a number of sound effects useful for acting out the kinds of adventures he’d go on.
Luke Skywalker’s X-Wing Fighter Lego Set
Build your own adventure
This X-wing fighter is the spitting image of Luke’s primary fighter, ready to be assembled by an eager child and then carried on the wings of their imagination to a variety of galactic adventures.
The toys so far on this list have focused on pretend taking place on the scale of individual characters, but much of the action in the Star Wars universe is between starships, such as this X-wing fighter. It comes complete with a little Lego Luke and Artoo to pilot it, and a Princess Leia for variety.
