In just a few days, Star Wars fans will finally experience the moment they’ve been anticipating since the credits rolled on the last film, released 10 years ago. The Force Awakens is the seventh and latest installment in the Star Wars Universe and set 30 years after the events that unfolded in Return of the Jedi. In the film, The Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire have become the Resistance and the First Order, and the story follows Finn, Rey, and Poe Dameron’s journey as they join forces with the likes of Han Solo and Chewbacca in a galaxy far, far away.
As you can imagine, the pending release of The Force Awakens inspired an expansive selection of Star Wars books, toys, apparel, collectibles and other themed merchandise.
