LONDON - Actors from the “Star Wars” franchise headlined a global livestreamed event at Britain’s famed Pinewood Studios on Thursday to unveil new Walt Disney Co merchandise tied to the latest movie instalment and series spin-offs.
The new toys, clothes and gadgets will officially go on sale on Friday Oct. 4, a date marketed by Disney as “Triple Force Friday”, as it seeks to build buzz ahead of the premiere of “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” in December. The event at Pinewood, the studios just outside London where “The Rise of Skywalker” was shot, was hosted Warwick Davis, who started his career playing an ewok in 1983 release “Star Wars: Return of the Jedi”.
“The first time it happened to me was when I was 11 years old in Return of the Jedi, and as a young boy to actually have a toy of yourself is a mind-blowing experience.”
