IGN can exclusively reveal an exciting new Star Wars collection from Heroes & Villains for San Diego Comic-Con 2025 inspired by Rebel Pathfinders and Star Wars: Battlefront II’s Inferno Squad.
SDCC 2025 marks a big milestone for Heroes & Villains, as the brand took shape on the floors of the con at the Lucasfilm Pavilion 10 years ago with a story-driven approach to apparel and accessories that “focuses on high-quality fabrics and thoughtful representation of fandoms” as opposed to “fast fashion.”
As for the apparel, which you can see in the slideshow below, it features items inspired by two of the most “daring and iconic military franchises in the Star Wars universe.”
First up are the Rebel Pathfinders, who were integral in the Battle of Endor and “represent the guerrilla grit of the Rebel Alliance’s most elite ground forces.” The collection that honors them “channels their survivalist spirit, tactical readiness, and rugged outdoor aesthetic.”
As for the Inferno Squad, which was made famous by Iden Versio in Star Wars: Battlefront II, they are the Empire’s black ops unit that “embodies precision, intelligence, and uncompromising loyalty to order.” This line “evokes a sleek, tactical, and stealth-forward design – characterized by dark palettes, militaristic lines, and subtle Imperial insignia – ideal for those drawn to the allure of elite Imperial efficiency and covert operations.”
Heroes & Villains prides itself on not making “surface-level Star Wars merch” and instead chooses to focus on two groups not often featured in mainstream merchandise. If you’d like to add these items to your collection, you can get them at Heroes & Villains Booth #2913 at SDCC and at Heroes & Villains online store.
