Launch Overview

Bath & Body Works announced a limited-edition partnership with Disney and Lucasfilm that turns the upcoming film *Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu* into fragrance and home-care items. The line opens for rewards members on May 4, 2026 and for all U.S. and Canadian shoppers on May 11, 2026, before the movie’s theatrical debut on May 22, 2026.

Participants

Participants are Bath & Body Works executive Kristie Lewis, Disney executive Liz Shortreed, director Jon Favreau and Lucasfilm.

Product Lineup

Three scents—Force Flow, Bounty Hunter and Ice Planet—anchor a 26-product line that includes body spray, 3-in-1 wash, cologne, 3-wick candles, hand soap and accessories such as tote bags and PocketBac holders. Bath & Body Works operates over 1,900 U.S. and Canadian stores and 500+ international sites; a rollout to more than 40 markets is planned for 2026, but the Ice Planet candle, Grogu coin purse and Mandalorian wallflower heater are not sold in Canada or other non-U.S. markets.

Impact and Official Responses

Bath & Body Works highlighted its scent expertise and ability to render the Mandalorian and Grogu; Disney called the effort a sensory experience that lets fans bring characters into daily routines, reflecting a broader trend of entertainment franchises entering lifestyle retail to capture Star Wars Day buzz and drive cross-promotional sales.

Conflicting Reports

Sources say Ice Planet candle and accessories are unavailable in Canada and omitted from international rollout, while other reports describe a global launch without such exclusions; promised rollout to “more than 40 markets” lacks a market list.

What’s Next

Analysts project the film’s opening weekend to earn about $80 million, and the collection is expected to drive retail demand, especially among loyalty members. Bath & Body Works will expand internationally through 2026 while Disney watches box-office performance for extensions.
