Another day, another selection of Star Wars merch. Seen below is a lightsaber umbrella marked with the Rebel Alliance logo. The really exciting part is the umbrellas have lightsaber handles and won’t be available until next year. Yup, really exciting. /sarc! Seriously though, these umbrellas come in three variants. There’s the Rebel Alliance pictured (a.k.a Obi Wan Kenobi), then another with the Galactic Empire logo plus a special edition Anakin Skywalker ‘brella.
Design and Features
So these umbrellas, which are all in black and have lightsaber handles, do they do other stuff besides protect the holder from the rain? Uh, no. The umbrellas are going to sell for $37.99 each. The lightsaber handles are designed to mimic the iconic weapons from the Star Wars universe, adding a touch of geeky flair to an otherwise mundane accessory. The Rebel Alliance version features a blue lightsaber handle, reminiscent of Obi-Wan Kenobi’s weapon. The Galactic Empire variant sports a red handle, symbolizing the Sith and the dark side of the Force. The special edition Anakin Skywalker umbrella is unique with its dual-colored handle, representing his transition from Jedi to Sith.
Practicality and Appeal
While these umbrellas may not have any additional functionalities beyond shielding you from the rain, their appeal lies in their novelty and the connection to the beloved Star Wars franchise. For fans, carrying an umbrella with a lightsaber handle can be a fun way to express their fandom. Imagine walking down the street, rain pouring, and you whip out your lightsaber umbrella. It’s not just an umbrella; it’s a statement piece that says, “I’m a Star Wars fan, and I’m proud of it.”
