Who’s ready for another Star Wars Midnight Madness?! Well hopefully every fan will be on September 4th, as StarWars.com has officially announced that starting at midnight on that date, we will all be able to get our hands on the many new “The Force Awakens” products that will be released, including toys, collectibles, books, and apparel.
Here is the official announcement from StarWars.com:
StarWars.com is thrilled to announce that Star Wars: The Force Awakens products will land in our galaxy on September 4, 2015, at 12:01 a.m. — “Force Friday” — with stores around the world opening their doors at midnight for a special celebration of all things Star Wars. It will be a day long remembered.
“Every lightsaber, every action figure, every LEGO set tells a story for generations of Star Wars fans, and this global event is a celebration of those stories. We’re excited to be part of the countdown to this enormous movie moment,” said Josh Silverman, executive vice president, global licensing, Disney Consumer Products.
Fans wanting to be the first to get their hands on Star Wars: The Force Awakens merchandise can set their hyperspace and social media coordinates now: They will be able to visit their local retailer starting at midnight on September 4, and are encouraged to document their experience using the hashtags #ForceFriday and #MidnightMadness. A wide-range of products — from toys and collectibles, to books and comics, ebooks and apps, to apparel and lifestyle accessories — will be available at mass retailers and Disney Store locations worldwide, as well as on DisneyStore.com.
Also revealed was the official packaging for “The Force Awakens” merchandise, which features the face and lightsaber of Kylo Ren.
We still got a ways to go before we reach September, but it should be a fun Summer as we no doubt will learn more about all the products we will be able to purchase on September 4th!
