Ray-Ban Awakens the Light and Dark Sides of the Force with Star Wars

Ray-Ban once again proves that pop culture and eyewear design can coexist in perfect harmony. The Italian brand has now launched the Ray-Ban | Star Wars™ collection, a line created for collectors and fans who appreciate the power of detail. On this occasion, four special-edition models reinterpret key characters from the saga through some of the brand’s most recognisable silhouettes.

The collection revolves around the duality that has defined Star Wars since its inception, the light side and the dark side of the Force. As such, the Wayfarer, Balorama, Mega Wayfarer and Mega Balorama evolve into visual artefacts that channel this universe through exclusive engravings, symbolic colour palettes and direct nods to the galactic narrative. Even the packaging becomes a collectible, divided between light and darkness to offer a full unboxing experience.

From today, the capsule is available at selected Ray-Ban stores, independent optical partners and ray-ban.com, making it easily accessible to those who live Star Wars beyond the screen.

Master Yoda Wayfarer

The iconic Wayfarer takes on a serene palette inspired by the legendary Jedi Master. Its transparent sage-green frame and tone-on-tone lenses convey calm and determination. Additional details speak directly to fans, with the Jedi Order emblem engraved on one temple and the phrase “May the Force be with you” on the other. A model designed for those seeking clarity in every sense.

Darth Vader Balorama

Here, the Balorama adopts a far more imposing aesthetic to embody one of cinema’s greatest icons. Ray-Ban reimagines the silhouette in deep black with silver-to-red mirrored lenses, a clear reference to Darth Vader’s commanding presence. The temples feature the phrase “Embrace the dark side” alongside the Galactic Empire insignia, reinforcing a design charged with power and mystery.

The Rebel Alliance Mega Wayfarer

This edition of the Mega Wayfarer pays tribute to the Rebel Alliance with a transparent brown frame and matching lenses that project a luminous feel. The temples include the phrase “May the Force be with you” and the starbird symbol, two details that encapsulate the spirit of resistance.

Kylo Ren Mega Balorama

Meanwhile, Kylo Ren’s overwhelming energy takes shape in this special edition of the Mega Balorama. The transparent black frame features accentuated lines that amplify its presence, while the polarised mirrored lenses maintain the silver-to-red gradient. The temples again feature “Embrace the dark side”, this time paired with the First Order emblem. A design that channels the character’s intensity with precision.

With this capsule, Ray-Ban not only honours the Star Wars legacy but also elevates its narrative through design, turning each piece into an object that feels both cinematic and contemporary. A proposal that, much like the Force, leans towards whichever side you choose.
