A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, Star Wars: A New Hope blasted its way to the big screen. Now, the Force is turning 50, and Hasbro is celebrating by taking fans back to where it all began.
The toy company is rolling out a massive new wave of Star Wars action figures, all inspired by the original 1977 film. The drops span three of Hasbro’s fan-favorite figure lines: The Black Series, The Vintage Collection, and The Retro Collection. From detailed recreations of iconic movie moments to old-school Kenner-style collectibles, there’s something for every generation of Star Wars stan.

Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and R2-D2 are all joining The Black Series with new 6-inch figures. Inspired by their appearances in A New Hope, each features multiple points of articulation and a variety of accessories, like Luke’s grappling hook and Leia’s blasters. Fans can display the figures on their own, or in their vintage-inspired blister packaging, complete with special character artwork just for the anniversary.

Meanwhile, The Vintage Collection is welcoming familiar faces from both sides of the Force. Fans can add Darth Vader, a Stormtrooper, and cantina patron Arleil Schous to their shelves, or re-create the daring Death Star rescue with a 4-pack featuring Luke, Leia, Han Solo, and Chewbacca. Every 3.75-inch-scale figure also comes with its own blister card with classic Kenner branding — just like they did in the ‘70s and ‘80s!

For collectors craving a blast from the past, The Retro Collection is going all-in on nostalgia. The lineup features vintage-style figures of Luke, Leia, Han, Chewbacca, Darth Vader, and Obi-Wan Kenobi, as well as two 2-packs: a Jawa with a Tusken Raider, and a Rebel Fleet Trooper with a Stormtrooper. There’s even an Episode IV Action Figure Set featuring C-3PO, R2-D2, and a Death Squad Commander, complete with a cardboard display inspired by Kenner’s original 1977 Early Bird Packaging.
Hasbro’s Star Wars 50th Anniversary figures are scheduled to arrive in spring 2027, but many are available for preorder now. Check out Hasbro Pulse for more details and to Force-grab your favorites!
