Galactic toys, forgotten helmets, and the March of the Force – what awaits you in the Star Wars Fan Zone at Pyrkon?

Galactic Toys – childhood in a galaxy far, far away

When we think of Star Wars, we picture lightsaber duels, explosions, and clashes between the Rebellion and the Empire. But even in the shadow of great conflicts, ordinary life goes on – and children, no matter the planet, play with their toys.

This lesser-known, everyday side of the galaxy inspired the creation of a truly unique exhibit. “Galactic Toys” is a special collection of items inspired by the Star Wars universe – from plush tooka cats, banthas, wampas, and shaaks, to handcrafted wooden models, and miniature starfighters and walkers.

Step into Jyn Erso’s room, meet Wrecker’s favorite toy, and see how children – together with their parents – create their own toys, drawing inspiration from the world’s animals, vehicles, and legends. “Galactic Toys” shows that childhood looks similar, no matter the planet.

Forgotten in the Galaxy – helmets that withstood the test of time

For fans of the saga’s military side, we’ve prepared something special – the “Forgotten in the Galaxy” exhibit, a collection of clone helmets from every phase of their development.

You’ll see classic Phase I helmets, the evolution of designs from the later Clone Wars years, as well as rare and unique pieces tied to specific units and characters. Some bear the scars of battle, others honor forgotten heroes. Each one is not only a fragment of galactic history but also a testament to immense fan passion.

March of the Force – join the galactic parade!

There’s no Pyrkon without the traditional Star Wars Cosplay March! It doesn’t matter if you’re a Sith Lord, a Jedi, or a young padawan in a blanket costume – what matters is that you’re ready to have fun and share your love for the saga.

We start at Hall 3 (the Villages) and end at the PCC Hall.
Friday: Sith and the Empire lead the march.
Saturday: Jedi and the Rebels take the lead.

Last year, over 400 people participated in the Saturday march – will we break that record this year? We invite everyone, especially kids, to take part in this colorful and joyful event. Your costume doesn’t need to be professional – as long as you feel good in it!

You’ll find not only excitement and amazing exhibits but also the unique atmosphere that only the fan community can create. Come, see, get drawn in – and remember: May the Force be with you!
