Overview

Benelic Co., Ltd. has opened ‘STAR WARS STORE by BENELIC’, marking Japan’s first permanent official Star Wars retail location. The store opened on October 1, 2026, at the Ikebukuro PARCO in Tokyo.

The retail space features immersive decor inspired by locations such as Tatooine, the Millennium Falcon, the Empire, and Nevarro. Product offerings include lightsabers, LEGO sets, figures, and exclusive items. Specific product lines include the ‘eLab’ series for customizing bags and pouches, the ‘COLORS’ series featuring character-inspired designs, and collections inspired by the franchise’s opening crawls.
