Next February, Star Wars is coming up on a major milestone: 50 years of epic stories, iconic characters, and a galaxy far, far away. To celebrate this momentous occasion, a newly restored version of Lucasfilm’s original 1977 adventure, Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, will be re-released in theaters for a limited run. And while millions of fans will be flocking to the movies, there will also be plenty of off-screen opportunities to enjoy all the intergalactic festivities.
From the original franchise to The Mandalorian, Thunder Bay Press and Studio Fun International are your go-to destination for officially licensed Star Wars craft kits and activity books. Including adult sticker books, crochet kits, and board books for the youngest of readers, don’t miss these best-selling titles. No Force abilities required.
PAPER CRAFT BOOKS & KITS
Fans of the popular franchise will definitely want to add Star Wars Grogu Stickers to their collection of Mandalorian memorabilia. The book’s 500-plus stickers will give a touch of the Force-wielding child to notebooks, greeting cards, journals, and more. The reverse side of each sticker page showcases the art so that once the stickers are used, you’ll have a keepsake that can be enjoyed again and again.
Star Wars Paper Models is a combination craft book, model kit, and keepsake. Inside, you’ll find beautifully illustrated and highly detailed punch-out pieces and step-by-step instructions for constructing faithful models of 25 iconic Star Wars spacecraft and vehicles, including the Millennium Falcon, a TIE fighter, an X-wing, and many more.
CROCHET KITS WITH FUZZY CHARACTERS
Thanks to analog bags, sewing hobbies have becoming more and more popular this past year. Now, experienced and novice crafters can knit together their favorite characters from the original Star Wars franchise and The Mandalorian. Whether crocheting these projects for themselves or to give as gifts, fans will find hours of enjoyment with both these crochet kits.
Each kit includes all the materials needed to make two amigurumi-style dolls, including multiple colors of yarn, two safety eyes, a steel crochet hook, a tapestry needle, embroidery floss, and stuffing. The updated edition of Star Wars The Mandalorian Crochet shows you how to create Grogu in his costume from the 2026 film and the Mandalorian. Likewise, with Star Wars Crochet you can make Yoda and R2-D2. Full-color step-by-step instructions are also included to make other fan favorites.
ACTIVITY & STORY BOOKS FOR THE NEXT GENERATION
While Chewie and Yoda have been on our screens for half a century, when it comes time to introducing these beloved creatures to littles we recommend Star Wars books. Made with official art from Lucasfilm, these interactive titles give a taste of the galaxy and all its out-of-this-world adventures in an approachable, kid-friendly way.
In Star Wars The Mandalorian: A Search-and-Find Book, kids can make it their mission to track down and retrieve baby Grogu from the galaxy’s most notorious outlaws as they journey to Nevarro, Tatooine, Arvala-7, and other locations on the page.
Part of the bestselling “You’re My Little” series, Star Wars: You’re My Little Grogu is an adorable board book that has chunky pages for little hands and die-cut shapes of characters from The Mandalorian. Children will love the cute illustrations of Grogu, Ahsoka Tano, Luke Skywalker, Bo-Katan, and Din Djarin (aka Mando). This endearing board book with rhyming text celebrates a parent’s love for their child while traveling the galaxy.
Lastly, it’s time to laugh it up with everyone’s favorite fuzzball. In Star Wars: Where’s the Wookiee? Deluxe, Chewbacca is on the loose and readers must find the Millennium Falcon’s furry copilot—plus other heroes and villains—in 30 locations from Cloud City to Jakku before the best bounty hunters in the business catch up to them.
