Merchandise based on The Last Jedi will hit retailers this September as part of a weekend-long event.
On Sept. 1, retailers throughout the world will open for a weekend-long celebration featuring toys, collectibles, books, apparel and more. In addition to introducing new characters from
The Last Jedi
in toy form, the new products will also introduce new technologies to bring the characters and film to life in new ways. Additional merchandise from the new film will be kept under wraps until Force Friday II, just like the first event in 2015.
Additionally, Disney has revealed a first look at packaging for
Star Wars: The Last Jedi
products, which feature heroes Rey, Finn and Poe.
Further details regarding how fans can participate will be released closer to the event.
“The first
Star Wars

Star Wars
Force Friday is back for
The
Last
Jedi
. Plans for this year’s world-wide event are top secret but expect something befitting the excitement around the next episode of the
