This year’s Star Wars Celebration may be canceled, but the merch is still coming in at lightspeed! So far, LEGO and Funko have both released info about their would-have-been exclusives, which fans can get online next week.
The LEGO exclusive, which starwars.com revealed yesterday, is a The Empire Strikes Back 40th-anniversary building set inspired by the iconic Vader vs. Skywalker Bespin Duel (of “I am your father” fame).
The 295-piece set (pictured above) will launch on Aug. 27, exclusively at Target for $39.99. While starwars.com didn’t specifically describe this set as a Star Wars Celebration exclusive, it is identified as such in the online Target listing.

Funko is hosting its fourth virtual con next week, giving fans an opportunity to snag six Star Wars Celebration Pop! figures. The figures include two 40th-anniversary The Empire Strikes Back items: a scene of Yoda using the Force to lift Luke’s ship out of the swamp and a 10-inch, super-sized Pop! Stormtrooper.

The remaining four figures are part of the Star Wars Concept Series. These bobbleheads are inspired by Star Wars concept artist Ralph McQuarrie’s early designs for Darth Vader, Chewbacca, Starkiller, and Boba Fett. Learn more about the development process for these figures here!
