Serious Star Wars aficionados will appreciate this handsome collectible, an exact replica of the lightsaber used by Luke Skywalker in Return of the Jedi, reproduced at 45% scale. (Each detail is 0.45 times the original size.) To create such an accurate replica, Master Replicas examined the original filming props and took detailed notes on color, finish, and dimensions. The saber is made of machined and die-cast metals and is officially authorized by Lucasfilm Ltd. A sturdy plastic display stand is included. --Andy Boynton

Continuing where its popular and collectible line of Star Wars action figures left off in the '80s, Hasbro now offers its new Power of the Force line, with new renditions of some of your favorite characters from the original Star Wars trilogy. From The Empire Strikes Back, here is mercenary adventurer Han Solo in the outfit he wore while visiting the aerie confines of Cloud City (an Imperial trap!). Articulated in six places for action poses and featuring authentic styling and details (this is Hasbro's first "burly" Han sculpting), the figure also comes with Han's trusty blaster pistol and a heavy assault rifle. Also included is a 35mm freeze-frame action slide depicting a scene from the film. --Matthew Mason

Young slave Anakin Skywalker would some day grow to become one of the most tragic and controversial figures in the galaxy, a Jedi Knight whose seduction by the dark side of the Force would transform him into the evil Darth Vader. But, as seen in Star Wars: Episode I, young Anakin was once a gifted youngster with a penchant for pod racing and droid construction. His action figure debut features young Anakin clad in his Tatooine fatigues with authentically styled backpack and a grease gun for working on his pod racer. This collectible figure includes a new CommTech chip embedded in its stand, a feature that allows Anakin to say "I'm a person and my name is Anakin" and two other phrases (CommTech reader sold separately). --Jerry McCulley

When her peaceful reign on planet Naboo is disrupted by the arrival of a massive Trade Federation invasion force, Queen Amidala makes a desperate attempt to defy her enemies and resist the Federation's takeover. Aided by two Jedi knights, the young monarch departs from the royal palace in Theed and escapes from the surface of the planet to seek help. Fans of Star Wars: Episode I can recreate these dramatic scenes from the movie with this authentically styled Queen Amidala figure. Featuring the queen's elaborate headdress and a removable robe, the figure comes with articulated limbs for posing the queen in a variety of positions. Measuring approximately 4 inches tall, the figure comes with a CommTech sound chip. By placing the chip on a Star Wars CommTech Reader (sold separately), you can hear Queen Amidala's voice reciting lines from the movie. --Chris Burns

Darth Vader will blend in with the shadows on a dark Halloween night, wearing a shiny black jump suit with attached black boot tops, detailed black chest piece with built-in belt, flowing black cape, and that famous shiny black mask and helmet. An unforgettable costume! --Marcie Bovetz

Can an epic struggle between good and evil, where the fate of the galaxy itself hangs in the balance, be cute? In this set of pint-sized Star Wars hero from Episode IV (also known as just plain Star Wars we have three familiar figures done up as adorably tiny versions of themselves. Han Solo, Chewbacca, and C-3PO are piloting a tiny version of the Millennium Falcon, which comes equipped with a laser cannon, opening cockpit, and audio snippets of R2D2, C-3PO, Chewie, and the sound of the laser cannon firing. While its not exactly an accurate depiction of characters from the films, its enough to make a generation of youngsters get hooked on the Star Wars saga. --Charlie Williams

With a white and silver body, red eyes, and massive, claw-like feet, this General Grievous figure--part of Hasbros Star Wars Force Battlers series--looks a lot like the fearsome, skeletal robot from the movie The Terminator. Squeeze Grievous legs together, and his four arms swiftly spring up, holding green and blue lightsabers or a grappling-hook launcher, all included. The figure otherwise has limited mobility. To fire the grappling hook, simply pull the attached string back through the launcher and press a button. --Andy Boynton

Hasbro's new line of Star Wars action figures had quite an act to follow--the originals from the '70s and '80s have become highly collectible classics. But the new line has become an ever-evolving delight as well, offering never-released characters and new renditions of old favorites. From the conclusion of Return of the Jedi, here's Princess Leia (with the line's second, much more realistic facial sculpting, along with a unique hairstyle) in her peasant-dress-style, Ewok celebration outfit. Articulated at six points for action posing, the figure also comes with a bonus 35mm freeze-frame action slide featuring a scene from the movie. --Matthew Mason

When Hasbro revived its pioneering Star Wars line of collectible action figures it improved on previously released characters and offered renditions of previously unavailable ones. From the triumphant coda of the original Star Wars, here's young hero Luke Skywalker in his ceremonial outfit, with a medal that hangs around his neck, and holding a blaster pistol. Articulated at six points for ease of posing, the figure is authentically styled (featuring the line's second, more life-like sculpting of Luke). The figure also includes a collectible 35mm freeze-frame action slide featuring a scene from the movie. --Matthew Mason

Make no mistake: Jabba the Hutt, the drooling, slug-like villain from the Star Wars series is completely disgusting. But isn't there something about him that you just find kind of cool? After all, if you could wield power around the galaxy while basically laying around all the time, that would be pretty great, right? To call this smallish plastic representation of Mr. The Hutt an "action figure" is a bit of a stretch since Jabba isn't really the active type. Still, it's loads of fun with a pivoting head, a removable tongue, and a hookah accessory. Jabba would make a fine addition to any desktop either as a tribute to Jabba's legend or a cautionary tale against ever becoming like him. --Charlie Williams

Although its meant to be mostly a utilitarian vehicle, designed to carry and deploy massive amounts of clone troopers to carry out the nefarious wishes of the mysterious Darth Sidious, nothing in the Empires vast arsenal of ships is without stylish amounts of menacing design. Sure something boxy and efficient would have worked just as well, but, they must have figured, you arent going to scare off the straggling remains of the Jedi order with something bland and boxy. This Republic gunship has a canopy for two pilots, a rappelling line for troopers entering the battlefield, and a pair of spring-loaded missiles. No clone trooper figures are included leaving you free to build up a new army of whatever Power Rangers, WWE Superstars, and Barbies you find lying around the house. --Charlie Williams

The blue-clad Bespin Guard (also known as Wing Guard) act as the law enforcers for Cloud City. While this guard's uniform has good detailing, the facial sculpting is somewhat nondescript. A blaster pistol fits in his holster, a removable cap can be placed on his head, and the pair of handcuffs is to keep any troublemakers in line. The figure stands 3.75 inches tall. --A. Galindo

Hasbro's Star Wars series helped pioneer and popularize the concept of action figures in the '70s and '80s, and the figures became highly sought-after collectibles as well. When Hasbro revived the line in the '90s, it took the opportunity to offer new sculptings of favorite characters and brand-new renditions of characters that the original line had overlooked. Here's a rare female character in her first appearance as an action figure: the Rebel leader Mon Mothma from Return of the Jedi. She's authentically styled in her flowing senatorial robes and holds her signature white baton. As a bonus, she comes with a 35mm freeze-frame slide of a scene from the movie. --Matthew Mason

Leaving the underwater city of Otoh Gunga in a submersible speeder, Jedis Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi head for the capital of Naboo by the shortest route--a cavernous passage through the planet's core. Along the way they encounter several terrifying specimens of carnivorous marine life--among them the razor-toothed Opee. Elaborate on that dangerous encounter with this authentic replica based on Star Wars: Episode I, The Phantom Menace, complete with snapping-jaw action! A specially articulated (for swimming motions) Qui-Gon Jinn figure is also included, complete with special Jedi underwater breathing apparatus and a harpoon for fending off marauding predators. --Jerry McCulley

Pit this Jedi master gone astray against Rebel forces or re-enact some of the famous battle scenes between this evil warrior and his son, Luke Skywalker (sold separately). This menacing 6-1/2-inch-tall collectible Darth Vader figure comes clad in black armor and wielding his signature red lightsaber. The villains head, waist, legs, elbows, and wrists rotate 180 degrees, enabling him to achieve any angle during lightsaber duels. A round shield is attached to the Dark Lords opposite wrist to block slashing lightsabers and advancing laser blasts. This figure is a great acquisition for old-school collectors or a fun toy for kids just becoming acquainted with the Star Wars epic. --Cristina Vaamonde
