A Star Wars backpack is always a favorite among young kids. Many parents who grew up with this legendary movie are now finding themselves buying Star Wars related items for their own children, myself included. This means two things – I’m getting old and Star Wars has an enduring appeal that has lasted for several generations.

Since this line has been licensed out to a number of manufacturers, it is really quite easy to find a great Star Wars backpack that your child will love. To help make the decisions a little easier, here are a few on the market you can buy:

Star Wars Backpack Buddies R2-D2 (Comic Images) – this has to be one of the coolest backpacks I have ever seen. It is shaped exactly like R2-D2 and his head opens up so your child can tote round his stuff to and from school. Best of all it is only around $20.

Star Wars Chewbacca Back Buddy (Comic Images) – this is another fun and unique backpack. Chewbacca literally holds onto your child’s back and carries around his or her stuff. This one looks so realistic is actually scary!

Yoda Back Buddy (Comic Images) – this is the same as the others, but it is shaped like Yoda. His back zips apart so your child can store his or her supplies. Other than Yoda having a goofy look on his face, this product is hilarious and your kids will love it.

These three backpacks look so real, that other kids will be gathering around your child and asking where he or she got it. If you want a Star Wars backpack, trust me on this, they don’t come any cooler than these three.
