ARE YOU NEW TO STAR WARS AND LOOKING TO JUMP INTO COLLECTING? HERE’S HOW YOU CAN START.

It all began with a simple search on the Internet for “Star Wars sleeping bag,” hoping to find the famed tauntaun version. The longer I searched, the more sleeping bags I found from the original releases of Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi. Although these were sleeping bags designed for indoor slumber parties, I loved the artwork on all of them and couldn’t resist bidding on as many as I could find. Weeks later, I was in possession of eight different “sleeping bags,” which were essentially vintage quilts with zippers attached to them. Despite having been a Star Wars fan for 15 years, this was the beginning of my very first collection.

No matter how much you love Star Wars, the prospect of showing your passion for the films, shows, and characters can be intimidating. Surely no matter what objects you start to amass, there’s probably someone out there who has a more impressive collection than you.

Considering the popularity of Star Wars over the last 40 years, there’s something out there for everyone. I’ve put together some ideas on what you can collect, no matter the size of your house, your budget or your personality!
