Three new open edition “Star Wars” pins, and an open edition “Star Wars” pin set, have arrived at Walt Disney World. The first three pins depict scenes from “Star Wars: A New Hope,” while the set is inspired by different Mandalorian and Clone Trooper factions.
R2-D23 Pin – $14.99
This pin shows three Jawas carrying R2-D2 above their heads.
Tatooine Pin – $14.99
Luke is steering a speeder through the desert of Tatooine with Obi-Wan Kenobi, R2-D2, and C-3PO.
Luke & Leia Pin – $14.99
This pin depicts Luke and Leia swinging across a chasm to escape Storm Troopers.
The above three pins were in World of Disney at Disney Springs.
Mandalorian & Clone Trooper Set – $34.99
This pin set was in Frontier Trading Post at Magic Kingdom. It includes four pins resembling badges or patches for various teams.
The first pin is for the Mandalorian Super Commandos, a group of Mandalorian warriors who served Darth Maul when he took over the planet Mandalore. These warriors wore painted helmets inspired by Maul’s face markings, as seen on the pin.
The next pin is a blue and black badge for a Clone Tropper Commander. A blue and silver clone helmet is in the center.
This badge is for the Clone Tropper Tano Division. As seen in the seventh season of “The Clone Wars,” these troopers painted their helmets to look like Ahsoka Tano’s face.
The last pin represents The Bad Batch with the helmets of Tech, Wrecker, and Hunter.
Future of Star Wars
Several “Star Wars” projects are currently in development. James Mangold (“Logan,” “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny”) will be directing a film set before the Old Republic about the origins of the Force. Dave Filoni is set to direct a film that takes place between “The Mandalorian” and “The Force Awakens.” Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy will direct a sequel taking place 15 years after “The Rise of Skywalker,” the last “Star Wars” film released in theaters.
“Star Wars” has also seen success with recent live-action shows on Disney+, starting with “The Mandalorian.” There have been two seasons of the show, followed by the spin-offs “The Book of Boba Fett” and “Ahsoka,” all set between “Star Wars: Return of the Jedi” and “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”
“Andor” season 1, set before “Star Wars: A New Hope” and focused on “Rogue One” character Cassian Andor, premiered in late 2022. Season 2 began filming in November, but filming paused due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes this summer.
