Target Darts has officially lifted the lid on its long-teased Star Wars collaboration, revealing the full Star Wars | Target collection — a limited-edition range blending cinematic design with professional darting precision.

Unveiled on Tuesday, the partnership between Target Darts and The Walt Disney Company brings together some of the sport’s most advanced engineering with the instantly recognisable icons of the Star Wars universe.
Among the headline releases are the Darth Vader 95% Tungsten Darts and Luke Skywalker “Jedi Knight” Lightsaber First Edition sets — precision-engineered tributes limited to just 2,000 units worldwide. Fans can also look forward to TIE Fighter and X-Wing 90% Tungsten barrels, a nod to the starfighters of the Empire and the Rebel Alliance.
Other products in the line include Darth Maul, R2-D2, and Stormtrooper BOA Wallets, and even a Millennium Falcon Surround and TOR Dartboard Bundle, designed to transform any throw into something out of a galaxy far, far away.
“A bold new way to step up to the oche”
James Tattersall, Group CEO at Target Darts, said in an official press release, the unveiling marks “a groundbreaking fusion of cinematic design, advanced engineering, and precision performance.”
“Star Wars has inspired generations of fans, and this collaboration brings that same sense of imagination and creativity into the world of darts,” Tattersall added. “It’s a bold new way to step up to the oche.”

Target’s Creative Director, James Butcher, said the design process allowed the company to “merge storytelling with performance design.”
“The heroes and villains of Star Wars gave us an extraordinary canvas,” Butcher explained. “We wanted to create something that feels authentic to the galaxy but also delivers the performance and feel Target is known for.”

Darts meets the big screen
For a sport that’s been growing its global audience year-on-year, the partnership represents another sign of darts’ widening cultural reach. A collaboration with Disney would once have seemed unthinkable — yet it now speaks to how commercially appealing and internationally recognised the modern game has become.

If nothing else, it’s hard to imagine a more fitting image for the modern game than Luke Littler firing a Lightsaber barrel at double top — proof that the Force really has found its way to the oche.

- If he can be bothered? He won't play darts in Germany yet he'll go over and get an award!??rick6702-09-2026
- Why is this the main story? He chose not to compete in loads of tournaments,yes he's number 1 in the world,but he does have to turn up at tournaments! Play the next world championship in Dortmund and see if he turns up!!rick6727-08-2026
- This is exactly what I mean,littler survives the 1st round,I think you'll find a lot of other players did. Can you just report on the real sport,and not just 1 person. I like Luke,but this is getting boring now,as Kevin painter once said to Taylor!! The sport is about every player,not 1 who everyone seems to have put the sport on the map.,which he hasn't,he's just got in when the money is massive. Great as he is,it seems like what's the point in anyone trying,he's going to win everything,unless it's in Germany or Australia!!!rick6726-08-2026
- I mean look, Littler's picture is first,wattimena is second and he won! Level it up. I know littler is fantastic,but the sport was here before him,and will be when he's retired. Any player in the top 64/128 can beat each other,it's not big news. Poor Jermaine,wins it,and not even the headline!!rick6726-08-2026
- I appreciate that littler is a fantastic player,but the top 3 articles are about him. Before he'd thrown a dart in the tournament. Level it out a bit, Taylor and van gerwen soon got disliked as the media could only see them,and nobody else seemed to matterrick6725-08-2026
- The two-point Lucky Loser qualifiers are Ross Smith, Robb, Whitlock, Sakai, Ilagan and Toylo. Jermaine is not on the entries list on Dartconnect for the TCH qualifier so the four from the main OoM are probably Searle, Nijman, Dobey, Wattimena.Scoobedybop24-08-2026
