The best Star Wars Day 2024 toys, collectibles, gear and memorabilia for May 4th
There are always new Star Wars action figures hitting shelves, but this series is particularly cool, especially if you’re a fan of the prequels. The star of the Star Wars Day announcements is a three-pack inspired by the “Duel of the Fates” lightsaber battle at the end of The Phantom Menace.

This set includes 6-inch action figures of Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, his padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Sith apprentice Darth Maul, all with their own cloth robes and lightsabers. Complete with new face sculpts, these will undoubtedly be the best versions of Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan we’ve gotten for The Phantom Menace, and Darth Maul looks great too. You can pre-order it exclusively at GameStop.

Let’s come to the Clone Wars: A double act awaits us: Jedi Master Yoda and Clone Commander Gree Hasbro Pulses, inspired by their appearances in the Star Wars prequel series, although the figures are not stylized to look like the animated versions of the characters. Clone Commander Gree, designation 1004, assisted Yoda as second-in-command until Order 66 was issued, forcing Yoda to flee, which ultimately led to his confrontation with Darth Sidious.
Commander Gree has two blasters, but Yoda gets a great selection of accessories. The little Jedi Master comes with his Jedi Council chair, his walking stick and his lightsaber. But perhaps the best feature is an alternate head sculpt with an angry facial expression. I believe this is the first time a Black Series Yoda figure has also included a secondary head sculpt, and this will be perfect for lightsaber battle poses. Speaking of which…

Darth Sidious is getting a fantastic new Star Wars figure (pre-order here), inspired by his appearance in Revenge of the Sith. After exposing his deception as Chancellor Palpatine, Darth Sidious comes one step closer to becoming the Emperor Palpatine we know from the original trilogy. The figure comes with his red lightsaber as well as two alternate hands with his lightning powers of the Force.
Pre-orders for all figures should begin May 4th at 1:00 p.m. ET.
