Time to join the Dark Side? Target Darts officially unveil Star Wars collaboration as Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker and more step up to the oche

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.

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.”

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.
