Star Wars is heading back to the big screen—and straight into the playroom.
With The Mandalorian and Grogu reigniting excitement around the galaxy far, far away, this summer’s must-have entertainment isn’t just movie tickets. It’s the chance for kids to bring the adventure home through imaginative, screen-free play. Because after the credits roll, the real fun begins.
For parents navigating long summer afternoons, travel downtime, heat waves, and the inevitable chorus of “I’m bored,” Star Wars toys offer the perfect antidote. Kids already know the characters, the ships, and the storylines—they simply need the building sets and playsets to create their own epic missions.
The timing couldn’t be better. Recent research shows that 68 per cent of parents say their young children are very likely to engage in pretend play on a typical day, while more than half regularly gravitate toward hands-on activities like puzzles and building toys. Star Wars sets hit the sweet spot, combining storytelling, creativity, collecting, and construction into one immersive experience.
Whether they’re helping Grogu escape danger, assembling an X-Wing worthy of the Rebel Alliance, or proudly displaying a Darth Vader bust in their bedroom, fans of all ages can tap into their inner Jedi this summer.

Turns out, keeping the Force alive this summer may be as simple as clearing off the kitchen table, opening a box of bricks, and letting imagination take the controls. —Noa Nichol
