StarWars.com announced the nominations earlier this week, so here’s a quick rundown of which categories you should pay special attention to when casting your votes.
First, Hasbro’s Star Wars L0-LA59 (Lola) Animatronic Edition was nominated for Action Figure of the Year. The toy, inspired by the droid L0-LA (pronounced like “Lola”) from the Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+ series that aired earlier this year. The toy displays various combinations of lights, sounds, and movements to entertain fans of all ages — including “On the Go” mode, where you can detach the droid from both her legs and stand and “zoom” her around the galaxy.
Disney Consumer Products was nominated in the Grown Up Toy of the Year category for its Cal Kestis Legacy Lightsaber Hilt. The hilt, released earlier this year, was inspired by the main character of Jed: Fallen Order and the lightsaber he used throughout the game.
And finally, Ravensburger’s Star Wars Villainous board game was nominated in the Game of the Year category. Villanous allows players to choose between a set of Star Wars villains, each of which move through the game with special abilities and objectives.
