1Classic Grid Star Wars Towel
This classic-looking Star Wars towel is my personal favorite, as it’s one of the best-looking towels available. It features C3PO, a stormtrooper, Yoda, R2-D2, Chewbacca, and Darth Vader. At the bottom, you’ll find the classic Star Wars logo in all-white. It has a sort of vintage Star Wars look to it that fans of the original trilogy will especially appreciate.
2A New Hope Beach Towel
Celebrate what started it all with this Star Wars beach towel themed around the A New Hope movie poster. If you’re a fan of the classic trilogy, this towel is for your beach adventures. With this towel, you get all of the original trilogy’s characters, including Luke, Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca, R2-D2, Obi-Wan, Darth Vader, and C3P0.
3Friends of the Force Towel
Rey, Finn, and BB-8 on the towel for all of those who favor the new school of Star Wars characters.
4Star Wars Galaxy Far Away Beach Towel
Believe it or not, this is actual, licensed Star Wars merch, despite it having a sort of artsy aesthetic to it. It’s a stylized stormtrooper helmet set with a galactic backdrop. It’s cool and unique-looking, and I can almost guarantee you that no one else on the beach would have this Star Wars towel.

6Pendleton Star Wars BB-8 Towel
Yes, it’s a little bit too expensive for my own personal taste, but it’s also a MEGA size towel, coming in at 40″ x 70″. So, it’s like two towels in one, so not too bad when you think about it like that. Sure, $55 for a beach towel is a hard pill to swallow, but it is a vibrant and beautiful-looking beach towel.

7Episode 7 Droids Beach Towel
This Star Wars beach towel is themed after the droids in Episode 7, C3PO, BB-8, and R2-D2, complete with the Star Wars logo at the top. It’s official Disney merchandise as well, so you know you’re getting quality. This towel measures 58″ x 28″.
8Darth Vader Beach Towel
Darth Vader beach towels seem to be the most popular among Star Wars fans, and if you’re also looking for a Vader towel, look no further. I’ll note that the image above is personalized and says “Asher” at the bottom, however, the one you’ll receive is not personalized and the “Asher” won’t be there.
9The Force Awakens Poster Towel
If you’re looking for a cheap Star Wars towel, this one, based on The Force Awakens, is just $9.99. You can’t beat that price!
10Stormtrooper Beach Towel
This Stormtrooper beach towel is also under $20, and it looks pretty great. A nice bright blue background with a stormtrooper likely missing whatever he’s shooting at.
