The new Star Wars movie: The Rise of Skywalker is set to hit the big screen shortly and i for one will be heading to cinema to watch it with my boys. My 6 year old has recently discovered his love for both Minecraft and Star Wars recently, so when Smiggle outreached to us asking if we fancied taking a look at their Star Wars collection, we both jumped at the chance.


Like most kids at school, my boy was already obsessed with Smiggle and regularly requests to pop-in whenever we are in Harrogate, to pick up a new pen or pad. So this weekend when we were up town we headed in store to check-out what Star Wars products they had to offer.

Will you rebel or rule?

Smiggle teamed up with their friends at Disney to create an exclusive and limited edition Star Wars Collection, inspired by The First Order and The Resistance. From backpacks and water bottles to pencil cases and slapbands, all these products are exclusively designed and created by Smiggle.




We must have been in store for a good twenty minutes whilst the four year old and six year old were deciding which "side" they were going to be on. In the end the both picked products from the First Order range and the Rebel Alliance range. Here is what they decided to pick, the price and our verdict on the range:

Retailing at £24, the key features of the durable bag include; a protective EVA molded BB-8 design, adjustable shoulder straps, padded carry handle 2 zipped compartments, main compartment with double zip and a dual drink bottle sleeves Embroidered The Resistance symbol.
