We have created the highest-quality speakers in the shape of two of the most loved Star Wars characters, everybody’s favourite protocol droid, C-3PO and the Galactic Empire’s ground-force, the Stormtrooper.

As huge Star Wars fans ourselves, we have made sure that every feature of C-3PO and the Stormtrooper helmet is perfect. Every single design element has been fully moulded into each speaker. The end result is a finished product with an unparalleled level of detail. Our Stormtrooper helmet is made up of 48 different components, so we can ensure that every detail looks and feels real. We use the highest grade plastic to inject into our moulds, this gives the finished items a more tactile feel and solid look. Our helmet will look and feel like a real Stormtrooper’s helmet. Our C-3PO will have a metallic finish – When you look at your C-3PO you will believe you have “the” C-3PO with you.

To show you what we mean, consider this fact. The original Stormtrooper helmet as seen in the movies is designed for a film set, so it uses paint and stickers to depict helmet details like vents and grills. Our Stormtrooper helmet speaker has actual vents and grills. See close up pictures – The grey “patches” you see on a Stormtrooper helmet were painted, they are meant to be grills – so we have made them as they are meant to be, the vents on the jaw line were stickers so we have built them in, over the bridge of the nose and around the rear of the helmet, we have looked at what has been painted and then made what they are meant to be.

We have already worked hard to gain approval from Lucasfilm and Disney. These will be officially licensed products, and will come to you in the special Collector Branding packaging reserved for only the finest authorised Star Wars merchandise.

We know it’s not just about the incredible design either. First and foremost, these are high-quality speakers. Whatever audio you’re listening to whether it’s John Williams’s iconic score, or rigging your Playstation through our speaker while playing Star Wars Battlefront audio, our 2.1 system combines stereo sound with a down-facing ported subwoofer offering truly awesome, powerful bass that’s loud enough to drown out a Wookiee battle cry.

These 12 inch (30cm) tall speakers are also portable so they can be used indoors or out, either using mains power, or the internal rechargeable battery which will last for hours.

How it works

We didn’t want to make setting up the speakers as hard as a bullseye hit on a womp rat in your T-16, so it’s super easy to get going.

Connect your speaker to the mains
Pair your smartphone or tablet to the speaker using Bluetooth (look out for the original iconic sound it makes when you are paired)
Now play your music and enjoy!

If you’re going to be using your speaker outdoors, don’t forget to charge it before you go.

Bluetooth is awesome technology and is available to anyone who has a smartphone or tablet. Bluetooth comes in many shapes and sizes, and that’s just one of several crucial elements that need to come together perfectly to deliver the sound you’re looking for in a high-quality speaker. There is a huge choice of chipsets that perform numerous functions, you need to pick the right ones.

About the team

We are Star Wars fans. We are sound-enthusiasts. We have long-term experience in the field of officially licensed merchandise, working with a variety of manufacturers and specialising in creating collectable stickers and trading cards. We have been making Star Wars licensed products for a long time, going back as far as Return of the Jedi in 1983.

The ACW team has extensive experience making speakers, designing new products and incorporating new tech, from telecommunication, to audio tweeters to subwoofers. We’ve worked on speaker technology for over 15 years, starting with the original docking-station speakers (remember them?) up today with multi-functional Bluetooth speakers.

To ensure we get the cleanest audio output it’s important to understand sound, engineering, even how the air moves around inside the speaker – we have that experience. Our team has the skills to take a 2D image and manipulate that picture into a 3D CAD so that we can create an exact copy of the original Star Wars character, whilst at the same time designing and building the internal space to encompass everything we need to produce an awesome sound.
