Interested in the Nerf Star Wars series? If so, here are the 8 best Nerf Blaster Star Wars blaster that you should consider purchasing!
Here are the 8 that I review below:
1. Star Wars Nerf Han Solo Blaster

Honorable Mention: The Nerf MicroShots Series
Because the Star Wars blasters line is filled to the brim with single-shot blasters, we felt that their line of mini blasters didn’t quite make the cut in regards to blasters that you would need to buy.
That said, that doesn’t mean that they don’t serve their own purpose.
Part of the larger line of MicroShots blasters, the Nerf Star Wars MicroShots guns are collectible, miniaturized versions of their bigger counterparts.
This makes them perfect additions to Nerf collections as well as Star Wars collections that you may have started. However, if you do decide to take these pieces out of their packaging, they are quite efficient weapons.
Compact and lightweight, MicroShot Star wars blasters are great weapons for children who are just getting into Nerf or older players who need a last-minute stealth weapon for emergencies.
These small blasters feature a priming mechanism at the bottom of their handle that simply needs to be pulled down to prepare the blaster.
Load your Nerf dart into the front of the blaster and fire at will, launching your darts at targets up to 40 to 50 feet away.

A lot of the Nerf blasters in this series are both functionally and visually excellent and the Star Wars Nerf Han Solo blaster is a great example of this.
The Star Wars Nerf Han Solo blaster is a long red handgun that comes packed with all of the features that you would expect from the Nerf experience and more.
Built with an internal clip system and permanent scope, users pull back the scope to reveal the 4-dart chamber hidden inside.
Place your four darts inside the lit chamber, which will charge your glow-in-the-dark ammunition as you fill the clip, push the scope forward to prepare your weapon, and fire your darts at targets up to 70 feet away.
Besides the internal clip system and the built-in scope, which serve to make the blaster easier to use without having to rely on attachments, the Han Solo blaster also comes with light and laser sounds to make blasting more exciting and provide you with an authentic Star Wars experience.

2. The Star Wars Nerf Episode VII Chewbacca Bowcaster
A rare combination, the Star Wars Nerf Episode VII Chewbacca Bowcaster is both a themed Nerf Star Wars blaster as well as a crossbow, which only adds to the excitement of the product!
Themed after our favorite Wookie, the Star Wars Nerf Episode VII Chewbacca Bowcaster features an attractive burnt orange and dark grey body that is themed after one of Chewbacca’s weapons in the series.
Featuring a detachable scope and a dart holder that can be placed on the side of the weapon to hold an additional four darts, you can make sure that you get accurate shots at your enemies and avoid having to carry around loose bullets.
Although the design of the Bowcaster can look daunting, this product is extremely easy to use. All you have to do is drag back the string section of the bow back (just like a crossbow) until it locks into the back part of the Star Wars Nerf blaster.
Then, load your bullet into the notch of the weapon as far back as you can. This Nerf Star Wars blaster comes with a safety feature that won’t allow you to pull the trigger until your dart is far enough back to be fired.
Once you’ve managed to achieve this, you can fire your dart up to 65 feet!
- Create adventures and scenes from Star Wars entertainment
- Collect the wide range of articulated Star Wars action figures that are each sold separately
- Most of the Star Wars vehicles have realistic action features
The simplicity and unique design of the Star Wars Nerf Episode VII Chewbacca Bowcaster makes it a great Star Wars blaster for Chewbacca fans who want to try out something new in their Nerf wars.
3. The Star Wars Nerf Chewbacca Blaster
If the Star Wars Nerf Episode VII Chewbacca Bowcaster didn’t do it for you, the good news is that Nerf makes another Wookie-related blaster for your needs: the Star Wars Nerf Chewbacca blaster.
The Star Wars Nerf Chewbacca blaster features a long blue body that is reminiscent of a shotgun-type Star Wars blaster and comes with the lights and sounds characteristic of Star Wars products.
Unlike other blasters, this piece fires two darts at once. Pull back on the pump-action priming mechanism at the front of the blaster, give your blaster some time for the internal lights to charge up your glow-in-the-dark ammunition, and fire both darts at will.
Although this piece uses pump-action, you can expect your darts to go as far as 75 feet!
Along with Star Wars blaster itself, you get a removable scope and a detachable stock that helps you to improve your accuracy while you are moving around and firing your blaster.
The detachable stock doubles as a storage space where you can hide extra darts when you need to reload.
- Launch into lightspeed adventures with a collection of classic and new characters, vehicles, and role-play items that feature the authentic movie-styling and battle action of the Star Wars universe
- Re-create scenes from the Star Wars saga, and the all-new Star Wars: Rogue one movie, with toys that let you re-live all of the moments from the story of good versus evil.
- Build your Star Wars collection with the authentic, highly detailed Star Wars collectible figures, vehicles, and force FX light sabers from the black series.
Whether you need an effective blaster for day battles or an exciting, light-up blaster for night battles, the Star Wars Nerf Chewbacca blaster is a fun Nerf gun for Chewbacca fans to tote around.
4. The Star Wars Rogue One Nerf Imperial Death Trooper Deluxe Blaster
The Star Wars Rogue One Nerf Imperial Death Trooper Deluxe blaster is one of the more unique Star Wars blasters on this list, largely due to the body shape and functionality of the piece.
Sporting a handsome red and black color scheme, the Star Wars Rogue One Nerf Imperial Death Trooper Deluxe blaster is a long, cylindrical blaster that is capable of holding and firing up to three darts at a time, something that we don’t typically see in the Nerf universe.
That said, it comes with all of the features that you could expect to see from a Star Wars blaster.
To use your gun, load your bullets into the front of the gun, pull back on the pump-action priming mechanism at the bottom of the device, wait a little bit for the internal light to charge your glow-in-the-dark bullets, and fire at will.
Like most blasters, your gun will know which sections have a dart and will fire them consecutively. Your blaster also comes with the fun light and laser sounds featured in the Star Wars series.
- Fires 3 darts in a row
- GlowStrike technology for light effects and glow-in-the-dark darts
- Laser blast sound effects
Although this is a simple blaster, the Star Wars Rogue One Nerf Imperial Death Trooper Deluxe blaster is a reliable and fun option for fans everywhere.
5. The Star Wars Nerf Captain Phasma Blaster
If you want an authentic Star Wars experience with a Star Wars blaster that is as close to the movie design you are going to get, look no further than the Star Wars Nerf Captain Phasma blaster!
The Star Wars Nerf Captain Phasma blaster is a truly beautiful piece of art. The color scheme of the blaster is the traditional snow white and sleek grey that you see in the movies, with the exception of a few orange splashes here and there to implement the Nerf theme.
Overall, the Phasma blaster looks like a capable weapon that would bring down all enemies in battle.
Speaking to the real performance of the blaster, the Star Wars Nerf Captain Phasma blaster comes with a 5-dart rotating barrel that lights up with GlowStrike technology to provide you with the distinct glowing darts in the series.
Although this is not a piece that can be easily loaded through the front like most barrel systems, there is a small bullet indent on the side of the gun that lets you guide ammo into the barrels openings.
Unlike many of the other Star Wars products, this blaster scrapped the pump-action mechanism for a bolt-action mechanism instead. Pull back the bolt, let the lights prepare your bullets, and fire at will.
This blaster also comes with a detachable stock and built-in scope for improved accuracy as well as laser sounds for extra fun! One thing that should be noted about this gun is that some people have reported is that the bolt mechanism may come off often.
Others have not had this issue but it has been reported quite frequently so it something that you should be aware of before you make your purchase.
- Bolt-action blaster with 5-dart barrel
- GlowStrike technology for light effects and glow-in-the-dark darts
- Laser blast sound effects
That said, the Star Wars Nerf Captain Phasma blaster is the perfect blaster for those who want a useful blaster on the field and one that closely resembles the guns found in the movies.
6. The Star Wars Rogue One Nerf Sergeant Jyn Erso Deluxe Blaster
The best way to describe the Star Wars Rogue One Nerf Sergeant Jyn Erso Deluxe blaster is that it is essentially an oversized Stryfe, albeit much more intricately designed and certainly a two-handed weapon rather than a handgun.
The Star Wars Rogue One Nerf Sergeant Jyn Erso Deluxe blaster is a semi-automatic Nerf gun that features a six-dart magazine to make loading and firing off bullets simple. The process of using this blaster is simple as well.
Just load your clip, place it into the slot on the bottom of your blaster, hold down on the acceleration trigger to prepare your weapon for rapid firing and to activate the GlowStrike technology to charge your bullets, and fire when you are ready!
While your bullets fire much faster than other blasters, you can still expect the same lights and sounds that you would get from other blasters on this list.
This blaster may not come with additional accessories but what we love about it is that it is designed to be as easy to use as possible. Despite its large size, it uses a small grip at the front end of the gun to help you carry it around.
It also uses three AAA batteries rather than large batteries to keep the weight down so that you can easily carry it across the battlefield. Make sure to test any magazines or ammunition before you try to mod your weapon.
- Front-load, single-shot blaster
- GlowStrike technology for light effects and glow-in-the-dark darts
- Laser blast sound effects
Having an automatic blaster is necessary in serious Nerf battles and you shouldn’t have to choose between automatic weapons and Star Wars-themed blasters.
Get the best of both worlds by choosing the Star Wars Rogue One Nerf Sergeant Jyn Erso Deluxe blaster!
7. The Star Wars Nerf Episode VII First Order Stormtrooper Deluxe Blaster
A refreshing change from the typical Star Wars-themed blasters, the Star Wars Nerf Episode VII First Order Stormtrooper Deluxe blaster offers enthusiasts an efficient blaster that will work in any setting.
The Star Wars Nerf Episode VII First Order Stormtrooper Deluxe blaster strips the weapon of the typical lights and sounds to bring you back to the original Nerf experience you are used to, which can be a refreshing change for some Star Wars fans who are not too fond of the loud lasers and bright lights that come with most blasters.
That is not to say that it is not a useful blaster. The Stormtrooper Deluxe comes with a lightweight body and a 12-dart clip that makes it easy to carry and fire your weapon when fighting other targets.
Instead of automatic blasting, this blaster sticks to pump-action, slam-fire priming to give you improved control over your experience.
Just feed the clip into your weapon, prime it using the pump, and fire darts up to 65 feet!
Because this weapon requires a lot of manual effort, the blaster also comes with a detachable stock and scope to help you stabilize your shots and aim at your enemies.
- Create adventures and scenes from Star Wars entertainment
- Collect the wide range of articulated Star Wars action figures that are each sold separately
- Most of the Star Wars vehicles have realistic action features
Overall, this is an excellent primary weapon for every battle and one that you can rely on.
