Star Wars: The Last Jedi: Supreme Leader Snoke Revealed
In 2014, the startup participated in a three-month Disney accelerator.
These events began nearly two years ago, with the “Force Awakens Friday” event that led up to Walmart and other retailers debuting new Star Wars toy line-ups in early September 2015 before the highly anticipated December 2015 premiere of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”.
Disney Parks will be holding their own Force Friday II events over the same weekend, with “unique products found only at Disney Parks” to be announced. The event continues through Sunday, Sept. 3.
The hugely popular Funko line wouldn’t miss out on The Last Jedi.
According to Reuters, during the Promotional event, fans will be able to see AR versions of various characters such as Rey and Chewbacca in the Apple Store and can even get their photos taken with them. With all the different ways to commemorate Force Friday, it’ll be all too easy to be a part of the celebration. The chain is giving away a free R3-M2 minifigure to everyone that spends more than $30 at a store.
So think Black Friday if everything was Star Wars and nothing was on sale.
Explore how to create a Star Wars trailer with authentic footage from the films. Maybe you’d like a two-pack of Admiral Ackbar and an unnamed First Order Officer can only be bought at Toys R Us. Target (TGT) is notably hyping its Rey-related products, which should appeal to the many people who noted in 2015 the lack of toys bearing the likeness of the film’s lead character. Yet another set immortalizes Darth Vader’s final scene from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, where he almost captures the Rebel with the Death Star plans.
Plenty of new toys will hit shelves on Force Friday. R5-J2, an evil R2-D2 analogue that served on the second Death Star, had a similarly shaped head. Then they’ll design a maze and navigate their droids through the obstacles. Keep an eye out on the LEGO Shop’s Star Wars page.
Walmart will allow fans to become inventors during their tech demonstrations. The Disney Store is planning giveaways, a “Star Wars” story time and an R2-D2 drawing class and more activities.
2nd and Charles will host parties on Friday from 4-6 p.m.as well as on Saturday and Sunday from 2-4 p.m.
