- Star Wars Day 2026 will take place on May 4th
- Disney is slowly rolling out this year’s selection of toys and merchandise
- TechRadar can exclusively reveal one of 2026’s new must-have items
The 2026 edition of Star Wars Day is less than a month away—and you know what that means: new toys and merchandise to spend your money on.
Ahead of the now annual celebration of Lucasfilm’s legendary sci-fi franchise, TechRadar can also exclusively reveal one of this year’s selection of collectibles.
The item in question? Lando Calrissian’s Skiff Guard Disguise helmet, which retails for $99.99 / £100.00 and can be purchased from May 4 – aka Star Wars Day – at Disney’s online store and brick-and-mortar stores. Check out official images of the helmet, its display stand and its packaging below:

“Inspired by Lando Calrissian’s secret mission aboard Jabba’s sailing barge, this detailed helmet captures the skiff guard garb worn during the events above the Great Pit of Carkoon,” reads the official description. “Its rugged design reflects the unmistakable look of Tatooine’s outer reaches. Complete with a display stand, it’s a distinctive collectible that commemorates a pivotal moment in the Rebellion’s battle against the Empire.”
This item is not just something that will just gather dust as part of your memorabilia collection. You can actually wear it too, so why not cosplay as Lando at the next fan convention you go to and show it off in all its glory?
Longtime fans don’t need me to remind them what movie this is from. But for those who haven’t traveled to every corner of the iconic galaxy far, far away, Calrissian wears it during the first act of Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.
In it, the smooth-talking smuggler is part of the team that — spoilers! — attempt to rescue Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt. To blend in with Jabba’s entourage, Calrissian uses the headgear as part of his disguise. Unfortunately, the original plan to save Han goes awry, forcing Calrissian, Luke Skywalker and the rest of the crew to not only improvise, but fight for their lives. However, I highly doubt you’ll have to contend with something like that while wearing your own Skiff helmet!
As I mentioned earlier, Star Wars Day 2026 is only a few weeks away, so I imagine you’re already gearing up for this year’s festivities.
