In collaboration with The Walt Disney Company Southeast Asia, Royal Selangor has launched a collection to commemorate STAR WARS, one of the most successful movie franchises of all time and a worldwide popular culture phenomenon.

“Star Wars has made a huge cultural impact on at least two generations of moviegoers. It is an honour to be working with Disney Southeast Asia to immortalise the characters from this incredible franchise,” says Yong Yoon Li, Executive Director of Royal Selangor International.

The collection’s line up consists of Limited Edition 8-inch figurines of Darth Vader, Han Solo and Princess Leia. Complementing them are smaller 4-inch figurines of Yoda, the Stormtrooper and Boba Fett. The highlight of the collection is a diorama which captures the monstrous rancor in his pit raring to attack Luke Skywalker - a classic scene from Return of the Jedi.


Recreating the manner and dress of beloved Star Wars characters in pewter is a formidable endeavour. However, Royal Selangor’s long heritage of design and craftsmanship ensures that the designers and sculptors have the ability and imagination to transform pewter into collectibles worthy of any casual or die-hard Star Wars fan.

The creative process began by referencing on-set photos, film screenshots and Lucasfilm - approved reproduction art. Upon determining the features and specifications of each character, each figurine is sculpted, a detailed process that can take several weeks as tiny fractions of a millimetre can make a figurine instantly recognisable. Each Star Wars character has his or her distinctive presence - the way the head is positioned, slope of the shoulders, gaze of the eyes and the overall posture.

Other collectibles in this Star Wars collection include a pair of Stormtrooper and Boba Fett tumblers, Darth Vader and C-3PO mugs, Millennium Falcon and Snowspeeder shaped USB flash drives, a Death Star trinket box and cufflinks.


This collaboration will see Royal Selangor introducing Star Wars-themed pewter merchandise and accessories over the next three years. Royal Selangor has also received the rights to distribute the Star Wars collection in several countries, including United Kingdom, Australia, United States, Canada, Japan, Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.
