Celebration Swag


Our pick of the best Star Wars Celebration


2019 exclusive goodies


tar Wars Celebration Chicago is now but a sweet memory, and for those
lucky enough to attend there were many chances to take a special
memento home, with an array of convention exclusives on offer. For
those of you who couldn’t be there, or if you weren’t able get your
handson everything available while you were there, here’s Insider’s pick of our
favorite Celebration goodies from Chicago 2019:


S



  • Runway Rebels
    Her Universe, who specialize in clothing based on some
    of the best sci-fi characters and superheroes in the
    galaxy, launched their new capsule collection, Sisters of
    the Force, at Celebration 2019. The range, celebrating the
    women of Star Wars, features designs both inspired by
    characters and, in some cases, based on actual costume
    designs. Here at Insider we were particularly taken with
    Vice Admiral Holdo’s dress, but General Leia Organa’s
    cape is also a must-have. Although many pieces sold out,
    a number of items are still available at heruniverse.com.

    • Celebration or Bust
      It wouldn’t be a Celebration without a
      special LEGO set, and this year’s exclusive
      Darth Vader bust was in high demand, with
      stocks being very limited and purchases
      restricted. The simple but effective 327 piece
      build retailed at $39.99.

    • Push the Button
      Pins are a convention staple, and there
      were plenty on offer at Celebration. Toynk
      collected their Episode 1-8 Film Poster Pin
      Set, featuring the logos from all eight movies
      released to date, and made limited quantities
      of their 3D lightsaber four-piece set available
      to attendees. A 24K gold-plated Medal
      of Yarvin pin (pictured) and Darth Maul
      Celebration pin were also available, limited to
      1000 pieces each.

    • Neon Blue
      Among some of the the most sought-after
      collectibles from the weekend were a set of
      chrome blue figures from the ever-popular
      Funko Pop! The six eye-catching characters
      given a metallic finish were Princess Leia,
      Yoda, Darth Vader, Chewbacca, Boba Fett,
      and a Stormtrooper.
