What Is Triple Force Friday?
Force Friday first started when “The Force Awakens” was about to hit theaters. To celebrate the return of Star Wars in theater, major retailers and brand released Star Wars products online and in-stores, where many fans lined up at a chance to acquire toys, apparel, and more.
This year, Force Friday is called Triple Force Friday because it’s celebrating 3 different Star Wars releases:
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order video game
The Mandalorian series on Disney+
The Rise of Skywalker movie
New Toys Revealing Potential Spoilers
There are a lot of toys released for Triple Force Friday and while the movie or Mandalorian series isn’t out yet, some new characters and their names are unveiled. Characters such as Boolio (an alien) is seen in the LEGO Millennium Falcon set. Babu Frik is included in the Black Series figure along with C-3PO. We have no idea how much these characters will be in the movie or what part they play but for now we can get a glimpse of them via the toy release.
So Many Stormtroopers
A total of 5 new Stormtroopers have been reveal. We were introduced Sith Trooper earlier this year, and new ones from the upcoming video game and movie are amongst the toys released for Triple Force Friday.
Purge Trooper
First Order Trooper (new accessories)
Elite First Order Trooper
Carbonized First Order Jet Trooper
Our Most Anticipated Productions
Savanna and I both agreed that we aren’t the hard-core toy shoppers, though the Second Sister Inquisitor Black Series figure did pique our interest. Seeing as we both are into geek fashion, we were drawn to the Boba Fett ring and Ewok necklace by Rocklove Jewelry.
Safiya Nygaard x Colourpop Cosmetics Lipstick collection
Popular YouTuber Safiya Nygaard has teamed up with Colourpop Cosmetics to release a lipstick collection. This is inspired by her “Bad Makeup Science” video series where she melts down various lipsticks to create a unique “Frankenlipstick” shade. Now you can purchase all 6 unique shades from Colourpop.
I purchased “Screamer”, a deep burgundy with a matte finish. Other shades include Fred (a bright red), Berry Me In Lipstick (berry), Mrs. Norris (greige-brown), Bikini Bottom (nude), and Brucie (bluish-green with a grey tone).
Both Savanna and I own a few Colourpop Cosmetics products and have enjoy the quality and the price.
