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.

To manage high popularity and crowds, initial entry may require advance reservations via LivePocket-Ticket. As part of an opening campaign, customers who spend 10,000 yen or more per transaction are eligible to receive a non-saleable Star Wars acrylic card case, available while supplies last.
