Itching to secure tickets to the midnight premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens? Fuel your excitement for the big day with our round-up of exhibitions, collab collections and where to buy official merch. There’s plenty to do and see before you arrive in the cinema decked out from head to toe in Star Wars garb.
Before all your lightsabre-wielding Star Wars dreams come true on December 17, here's another glimpse of the Galaxy Far, Far Away to fuel your imagination. And if you find yourself wide awake in sleepless anticipation for the next two months, think about the words of new villain Kylo Ren to Darth Vader's melted helmet. 'Nothing will stand in our way. I will finish what you started.' Are you getting chills yet?
Not impressed by the bevy of Star Wars apparel out there? Here’s a cooler option: Forever 21. Sure, they’ve got your basic tees, sweaters and shorts, but they don’t just feature Vader and the Stormtroopers (like every other brand) – Boba Fett, R2-D2 and Yoda make an appearance, too. For high-fashion styling, rock the ‘Trust Me I’m a Jedi’ body suit with a high-waisted skirt or throw on the totally on-trend metallic sweater.
Available at Forever 21. Prices range from $19-$49.
To avoid freezing your butt off while watching Star Wars in the cinema, grab one of the hoodies, sweaters or jackets from this collection.

Available at :Chocoolate. Prices range from $49.90-$299.

Earlier this year, Uniqlo launched a range of Star Wars tees designed by the public. Everyone went nuts. Now, the brand’s back with more pieces inspired by the sci-fi franchise in its Fall/Winter 2015 line. If you’re looking forward to a white Christmas, bundle up in parkas, sweat shirts and jackets proudly carrying the stamp of characters like Darth Vader, Chewbacca and Stormtroopers. For those staying in the tropics, check out the range of flannel shirts, graphic tees and a cool-looking umbrella.
$24.90-$129.90. Available at Uniqlo.
Adding to the Star Wars hype is performance sports brand, Under Armour. Throw on one of the compression tees and switch to your alter ego – Darth Vader or a Stormtrooper. These super tight shirts hug you like a second skin, so those muscles you’ve worked so hard for will be on full display. If you prefer a looser fit, get the Skull Trooper or Dark Side Club graphic tees.
$49-$99. Available at Under Armour.
