Coinciding with the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, MAGIC STICK has crafted a collection centered around the storied universe of the franchise.
The collection of streetwear essentials are marked with references to the blockbuster film, including terminology and phrasing as well as graphics culling from the ninth Star Wars film. Divided into two ranges, the “Classic Collection” contains original trilogy graphics and characters, while the “Episode.9 Latest Collection” naturally displays references from the latest film. The former shows the Cantina Band performing in their Mos Eisley atmosphere alongside Jabba the Hutt while the latter items display the movie poster for the Rise feature. References like “The First Order” and lines “Who Do You Want to Be?” all set a black, “dark side” vibe for the collection.
