Onnit Star Wars Kettlebells

Name: Onnit Star Wars Kettlebells
Brand: Onnit
Rating: 3.58 (4 reviews)

A set of three fully-functional cast-iron kettlebells from Onnit’s licensed Star Wars collaboration, each sculpted as an iconic dark-side character: Boba Fett (50 lb), an Imperial Stormtrooper (60 lb), and Darth Vader (70 lb). Released in 2017 alongside a Death Star slam ball and a Han Solo yoga mat, they’re cast in chip-resistant iron and finished with the same balance, coating, and enlarged handle as Onnit’s standard Primal Bell line, so they swing, press, and snatch like a normal kettlebell despite the character sculpting. Onnit has since discontinued the entire line after its Lucasfilm license lapsed, and none of the three weights are sold new anywhere – what’s left is a small but enthusiastic collector community trading original units, alongside Onnit’s other novelty kettlebells like the Iron Man Kettlebell. They still work as real training bells for swings, cleans, presses, and getups; buyers who just want a reliable bell to train with, in stock today, should look at a standard cast-iron option like the Cast Iron Kettlebell instead.

What is a Kettlebell?

What kettlebells are

A kettlebell is a cast-iron (or steel) ball with a handle, built for swings, cleans, snatches, presses, and carries — ballistic, full-body work a dumbbell doesn’t do as well. One or two bells cover a lot of conditioning and strength.

What actually matters

Cast iron vs. competition. One-piece cast iron is the durable, affordable default. Competition (“comp”) bells are steel and share the SAME dimensions across every weight, so your technique doesn’t change as you go heavier — worth it for dedicated technique/girevoy work.
Handle width & finish. Handle diameter and width decide grip comfort for two-hand swings vs. cleans; a smooth handle takes chalk well and won’t tear hands the way an overly rough powder coat can.
Coating. Powder coat grips well but varies in roughness; e-coat is smooth and rust-resistant; bare handles need chalk.
Single vs. adjustable. An adjustable kettlebell saves space and money if you want a range, but adds bulk and can feel less balanced than a fixed bell.
What to buy first. Common starting points are ~16 kg (35 lb) for many men and ~8-12 kg for many women — then add a heavier and a lighter bell as you progress.

Who it’s for

Anyone who wants conditioning, posterior-chain power, and loaded carries without a rack. Start with one well-sized cast-iron bell; add weights or a competition set as your training demands.

Reviews by source

Expert	3.58/5	4 reviews
Youtube	4.4/5	2 reviews	2 videos considered with usable transcripts. Strict Vision Athletics (2021, "worth the resell?") calls the whole Onnit novelty-bell line (Star Wars, Iron Man, Primal) "the coolest kettlebells in the world," confirms they're fully functional for swings/presses/getups, and warns the entire line is discontinued (Onnit cancelled its Marvel and Lucasfilm licenses) with secondary-market prices now wildly inflated. Garage Gym Reviews' 2018 Darth Vader unboxing calls the sculpt detail "incredible" and "out of this world," confirms it's a real 70 lb bell you can swing/press/snatch (cast/ductile iron), but frames it more as a display piece than a daily trainer and flags the ~$180-200 price as "a little expensive."
Reddit	4.0/5	5 reviews	5 threads with real derivable sentiment (via pullpush.io): an r/starwarscollecting display post from an owner who says they "love looking at" the set; an r/kettlebell comment from a repeat Onnit buyer who "got them on the huge sale" and "loves SW and marvel"; an r/thefighterandthekid comment calling their Star Wars bell "my favorite"; an r/AskMen comment that's more mixed -- happy with the 50 lb Boba Fett but notes it's "really heavy" and they "can really only do squats with it"; and an r/Sneakers aside noting Onnit (including the Star Wars/Marvel lines) is "kind of pricey compared to Rogue or other more standard kettlebells." Other threads (an ISO-buyer post noting they're sold out everywhere, a JoeRogan-subreddit gripe about stock/price, and a JustUnsubbed meta-complaint about novelty bells cluttering r/kettlebell) carry no first-hand product-experience signal and weren't counted.

A set of fully-functional cast-iron kettlebells sculpted as Darth Vader (70 lb), an Imperial Stormtrooper (60 lb), and Boba Fett (50 lb) – discontinued collector’s pieces from Onnit’s licensed Star Wars line that still work as real training bells. Its standout dimension is build quality: owners and reviewers consistently praise the detailed character sculpting and the same chip-resistant coating and ergonomic handle as Onnit’s standard Primal Bells. Its weakest dimension is value – Onnit discontinued the whole line after its Lucasfilm license lapsed, none of the three are sold new anywhere today, and the only way to get one now is a volatile, inflated secondary/collector market with no dependable current price.

+Build quality: character sculpting is "incredible" and "out of this world" in owner accounts, cast in chip-resistant (some say ductile) iron with the same finish/handle as Onnit's standard bells (YouTube: Garage Gym Reviews)
+Functionality: fully usable for real training -- two-hand and one-hand swings, presses, and snatches, not just a display piece (YouTube: Garage Gym Reviews; Strict Vision Athletics)
+Functionality: praised as "the coolest kettlebells in the world" and genuinely enjoyed for years of use, not just at unboxing (YouTube: Strict Vision Athletics)
+Build quality: owners repeatedly cite fondness for looking at and displaying the set, describing it as functional art (r/starwarscollecting; r/thefighterandthekid)
+Functionality: repeat Onnit buyers who own both this line and the Iron Man kettlebell report the build quality is identical across the novelty lineup (r/kettlebell)

−Value: Onnit discontinued this entire licensed line after its Lucasfilm/Marvel contracts lapsed, and none of the three weights are sold new anywhere today (product page; YouTube: Strict Vision Athletics)
−Value: original retail was $149.95-$199.95, but the only current market is resale/collector listings at wildly inflated, inconsistent prices with no single dependable current price (product page; r/onnit)
−Value: flagged as pricier than plain kettlebells even at original retail, before accounting for the current collector-market markup (r/Sneakers)
−Versatility: each bell is a single fixed weight with no adjustability, and at least one owner found the 50 lb Boba Fett heavy enough to be usable mainly for squats rather than a full range of kettlebell movements (r/AskMen)
−Durability: no long-term failure reports surfaced, but independent coverage is limited to two owner videos and a handful of Reddit comments -- not enough data for a confident durability verdict either way (across all gathered sources)
