Back in February, it was announced thatRogue One: A Star Wars Storyis getting it’s ownForce Friday. The 2nd annual event was officially announced at Toy Fair 2016. Just like last September, when the first Force Friday unleashed a tsunami of toys and otherStar Wars: The Force Awakensmerchandise into stores, this next epic event will be tailored around the arrival of the first-ever Star Wars spinoff, which hits theaters in December.
Rogue Oneis going to hit retailers hard on July 20, 2025.Rogue One: A Star Wars Storyrevolves around a group of rebel soldiers who go on an impossible mission to steal plans for the original Death Star. On Force Friday, all major retailers will open their store and online doors at 12 am sharp, allowing fans to get their hands on all the latest action figures, books, Legos and whatever else is being planned for this galactic adventure.
While none of the new toys were revealed as part of NYTF 2016, A report from earlier this year claimed that someRogue One: A Star Wars Storymerchandise might be arriving this summer. And that may still be true. Adding to the speculation that we’d get our firstRogue One: A Star Wars Storyitems this summer was the fact that the official calendar for the movie was available for pre-sale onAmazon. We didn’t get to see the cover of this calendar, or any of the photos that it will contain within. But we do get the promise that it will arrive in just 3 months time, debuting on June 1. This will be a full 6 months before the movie is in theaters. As of now,Amazonis no longer available, but should return soon.
You may recall that last year, spinoff starDonnie Yenrevealed threeStormtrooperhelmets that will be used inRogue One: A Star Wars Story. Among these were a black helmet said to belong to the ‘Death Troopers’. It was previously rumored that this Trooper will accompany the first wave of Rogue One action figures and toys as it’s official logo, which are coming in September as part ofForce Friday Part 2. This new image reveals that certainly turned out to be true! And, we’re getting the new AT-ATs to boot.
