Star Wars has grown considerably beyond the original trilogy through TV shows, books, comics, and more films. However, the first six movies remain an important part of the franchise's legacy. From the introduction of Luke Skywalker in 1977 to the conclusion of Anakin Skywalker's dark transformation into Darth Vader in 2005, these films created the characters and stories that continue to influence the entertainment industry today.
Star Wars is preparing to celebrate one of the most beloved periods in the science fiction franchise's history with a nostalgic new release arriving in 2027. Nearly five decades after George Lucas introduced audiences to a galaxy far, far away, the massive property continues to find new ways to honor the movies that started it all.
Now, Hasbro is bringing the first six chapters together for a special release for longtime fans, particularly those who remember experiencing Star Wars at home through VHS tapes. The toy company officially revealed the Star Wars: The Black Series Saga Collection Multipack. It features a six-piece lineup paying homage to every film in the original and prequel trilogies. The upcoming release consists of characters from The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi.
The collection consists of Queen Amidala from The Phantom Menace, Anakin Skywalker as he appeared in Attack of the Clones, a Galactic Marine from Revenge of the Sith, and Luke Skywalker in his X-wing pilot uniform he wore in A New Hope. It also includes IG-88 from The Empire Strikes Back and Tessek from Return of the Jedi.
The most distinctive feature about all these figures is their packaging. Each one comes inside a VHS-inspired sleeve with an image of its respective movie. Instead of focusing exclusively on the characters, Hasbro has designed the set to bring back the experience of owning physical tapes of the Star Wars films.
The Star Wars: The Black Series Saga Collection Multipack also comes as Star Wars approaches an important milestone. May 2027 will mark 50 years since the original movie premiered in theaters on May 25, 1977. The new collection is available for preorder right now through Hasbro Pulse and participating retailers for $199.99. Its official release is scheduled for spring 2027, with some retailers listing April as the expected shipping month. However, a specific date has not been confirmed yet at the time of this article's publication.
The release also demonstrates how Hasbro is approaching the franchise's extensive history as its 50th anniversary approaches. For a franchise that has continued to evolve since 1977, the upcoming collection serves as a reminder of the movies that helped make Star Wars the lasting cultural phenomenon that it is today.
