Disney has announced a new lineup of Star Wars merchandise to celebrate Life Day 2026. This holiday, which originated in the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special, is traditionally observed on November 17. New items will be available both online and at physical park locations.
What’s new
Several high-end collectibles and interactive toys are launching as part of the celebration. Key items include:
* Ezra Legacy Lightsaber Set: A limited-edition set featuring two hilts inspired by *Star Wars Rebels*. The hilts illuminate in green and blue when attached to blades (sold separately) and come in a decorative box that plays scenes from the show.
* K-2SO Premium Electronic Head: A detailed replica of the *Rogue One* droid featuring movie-accurate phrases, lights, and sounds.
* Mandalorian Super Commando Helmet: An adult-sized wearable helmet with horns, red and black detailing, and a voice-changing effect.
* Batuu Adventure Buddies: New interactive toys will be added to the inventory at the Droid Depot.
* Ultimate Grogu Animatronic: A 1:1 scale figure with motorized movement in the arms, legs, and ears. While this item will be available for pre-order online in November, it is not expected to arrive in the parks until Spring 2027.
When and where
The majority of these items will be available starting Tuesday, November 17, 2026.
In the parks, you can find these items at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at both Disneyland Resort in California and Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. Specifically, the Batuu Adventure Buddies will be located at the Droid Depot. Online sales begin at 8 a.m. PT on DisneyStore.com.
What it means for your visit
If you are visiting Hollywood Studios or Disneyland on November 17, expect higher crowds and potential lines at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, particularly at Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities and the Droid Depot. Collectors often prioritize these limited-release items, so arriving at park opening is recommended if you intend to purchase the Ezra Legacy Lightsaber set or the K-2SO replica.
For those who cannot make it to the parks on the launch date, the 8 a.m. PT online release provides an alternative way to secure the merchandise. If you are specifically looking for the new Grogu animatronic, note that you will not find it on shelves during a 2026 winter trip; you will need to wait for its park debut in early 2027.
