It’s time for a new school year, which can mean only one thing: new Star Wars back-to-school gear and supplies! Whether your child is learning at home or at school, we’ve gathered five of our favorite items that any student of Star Wars will love.

1. The Child Backpack by Fast Forward

Fun and functional, Fast Forward’s five-piece backpack celebrating the Child has almost as many surprises as the Mandalorian’s armor. Its list of features includes: one main compartment and a front accessory pocket with zipper closures, a deluxe organizer, Cinch sack, zip case, lunch bag, and dangle, plus adjustable shoulder straps, a top locker loop handle, and air mesh pockets. This is the Way…to the galaxy’s cutest and coolest backpack.

2. TIE Fighter Desk by Rooms

We like to think Stormtroopers on Scarif would wear this on their days off.

As soon as the Armorer appeared onscreen in The Mandalorian — silent, stoic, and strong — RockLove CEO and Designer Allison Cimino related to the mysterious leader whose craftsmanship at the forge helped keep the culture of the Mandalorians alive.

When Funko’s senior product designer Reis O’Brien was younger, he came upon some Star Wars tomes that would have a profound effect on him. They weren’t the sacred Jedi texts, but for a fan and a future artist, they were close.

“I had books, when I was a kid. The Art of Star Wars and The Art of The Empire Strikes Back,” O’Brien tells StarWars.com. “They had a lot of [Ralph] McQuarrie sketches in them. Those early sketches always blew my mind.”

Ralph McQuarrie is, of course, the legendary Star Wars concept artist that gave form to George Lucas’ ideas when making the original trilogy. To put it simply, Star Wars does not exist as we know it without his work. On top of that, his images were
