Disney Store and Disney Parks' Star Wars Life Day 2026 Lineup Includes Full-Size Grogu Animatronic

For Star Wars fans, there are plenty of holidays to celebrate within the fandom. The joy of May the Fourth has been celebrated for years, with Lucasfilm and Disney giving fans plenty of exciting new things to love. But another holiday for Star Wars fans comes from a very specific aspect of the franchise: Life Day. Introduced in the Star Wars Holiday Special that was, for years, hard to find, Life Day is a celebration for Wookiees like Chewbacca. To celebrate our favorite Wookiee, fans can now celebrate Life Day with some incredible new releases from the Disney Store and Disney Parks, and Collider is bringing an exclusive first look.

As is often the case with Star Wars, much of the celebration centers on fan-favorite aspects of the franchise. Like new lightsabers for fans to buy. After Galaxy's Edge let fans make their own lightsaber, it boosted how many fans wanted their own unique version. But you can still buy lightsabers inspired by the series, like Darth Vader's red saber or Kylo Ren's iconic T-shaped blade. For Life Day, fans can expect even more exciting things coming their way, especially after the release of The Mandalorian and Grogu earlier this year.

One of the new collectibles being unveiled is a full-size Grogu animatronic, so you can bring home one of the best Star Wars characters from the last decade. Ultimate Grogu will be available for pre-order from the Disney Store beginning November 17, and you can find him in the Disney Parks in Spring 2027. The release of the Life Day-inspired line does include some of the biggest properties in Star Wars, like Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord, the critically acclaimed series Andor, and more.

Star Wars celebrations also extend past Life Day and past the online store. Fans who go to Disney Parks and want to experience the magic of Star Wars can find some pretty exciting new treats there, including a Batuu Adventure Buddy that you can personalize with Star Wars-inspired fits. Wouldn't it be a cute little Ewok buddy?

A Perfect Line-Up for Star Wars Fans
