Good news, fellow fans: Loungefly’s new “Power of the Force” collection might just be that rare unicorn we’ve been searching for.
You see,merch from Loungeflyusually means that these products were designed by people who understand both what makes good bagsandwhat makes Star Wars special, so I’m really excited about this new drop. Let’s check out what your next paycheck might be going toward.
A Galaxy Far, Far Away - In Surprisingly Good Taste
Astromech Backpack: Form Meets Function
The R2-D2 mini backpack ($80) comes with a functioning red-light feature, which immediately makes it more interesting than 90% of themed bags out there. Instead of a flat print, they’ve created a dimensional R2 with faux corduroy side panels that add unexpected texture and elevate the design just a teensy little bit.
At 9" x 10.5" x 4.5", it’s perfectly sized for daily essentials without making you feel like you’re heading to elementary school. The design wraps all the way around, so even from behind people will know you’ve madeexcellentlife choices in both fandoms and accessories.

Convertible Tote: For Your Transition From Office To Convention Floor
For those of us who need versatility (whodoesn’t?), the Star Wars Power of the Force Convertible Tote shifts between backpack and shoulder bag with minimal fuss. The faux corduroy with leather trim keeps things sophisticated, while the debossed “STAR WARS” detailing lets you do your thing without it being too overwhelming.
The included Death Star charm adds just enough fandom flair without making you look like you raided the Disney store clearance bin. At 12"W x 11"H x 3"D, it comfortably fits a tablet, water bottle, and enough snacks to survive a double feature. Priorities.
Power Of The Force Lightsaber Zip Around Wallet
The Luke Skywalker wallet ($40) takes a refreshingly subtle approach with just his lightsaber hilt debossed on the front and his name in green foil. Inside, you get four card slots and a clear ID window with a die-cut lightsaber design. Practical… but withjust enoughfan service to make you smile when you pay for coffee.
Samurai Darth Vader Backpack: Where Star Wars Meets Its Influences
The web-exclusive Samurai Darth Vader backpack ($90) acknowledges the Japanese influences that shaped Star Wars from the beginning. This cultural fusion feels quite authentic, creating something that works both as a collectible and as a genuinely interesting design piece.
Quick side note, I absolutely love how they incorporated different textures and techniques (applique, debossed, embroidered, metallic, and foil details). Definitely recommend this if you’re someone who appreciates artsy stuff that makes bold choices, but in a more scaled-back way.
Logray Ewok Plush Backpack: Embrace The Fuzzy Side
What’s the coolest thing you could do with an Ewok themed-backpack? Make it super-soft to touch. This backpack really delivers on tactile appeal with its soft sherpa construction. The front zipper and side drop pockets are basic plus handy, proving you don’t have to choose between practicality and personality. The gold hardware provides a nice contrast to the earthy Ewok aesthetic, completing a design that somehow manages to be both whimsical and stylish.
If any of these tickle your fancy, you might want to head tothe official Loungefly websitefaster than the Millennium Falcon on a Kessel Run. Between Star Wars collectors and fashion-forward fans, this collection isn’t likely to sit on shelves for long. May the Force (and your credit card) be with you!
