These Star Wars strains offer you the perfect escape

Are you looking for something to distract you and make you feel good? These classic Star War strains will help you sit back and enjoy the wonders of the universe.

Need a little escape from the world around you? Would you like to immerse yourself in a new, yet familiar environment? In 2023, the Star Wars universe generated worldwide box office revenue of approximately $10.3 billion. Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens (2015) is the highest-grossing Star Wars film of all time. It's number one on the fandom list, ahead of Marvel. Will the Star Wars varieties provide you with the perfect escape to take a break from the world?

Be a Skywalker

Skywalker was created by the Dutch Passion Seed Company. They crossed two of their award-winning indicas – Blueberry and Mazar – to produce Skywalker, which they believe should be “one of the best indicas in the world.” Skywalker's best flavors and aromas are earthy, woody and spicy, with hints of sweetness and fruitiness.

Skywalker AND is a sativa-dominant marijuana hybrid. Skywalker OG is known for its relaxing and euphoric effects, making it an excellent choice for stress relief and pain management. This strain is often used to relieve symptoms of anxiety, depression, and insomnia. The Kush is very potent with an average THC content of up to 21%.

Skywalker AND Kush (“No. There's another… Sky… walk… um.”) is an indica that comes from a Skywalker cross with an OG Kush. Vape it with a Skywalker OG 710 KingPen.

Sour Skywalker (“This name no longer has any meaning to me.”) is a half and half sativa/indica strain. Its lineage is Sour Diesel crossed with Skywalker OG. It has a moist, sharp smell of earth and lemon and a sour taste with fruity notes of citrus and lemon. It has an intense yet calming indica-driven body high coupled with intense, euphoric effects on the brain. It is an effective treatment for muscle spasms, chronic pain, insomnia and stress.

Favorite characters

C-3PO is a Humboldt County hybrid developed by Petrolia Farms. With the scent of fresh pine, C3PO delivers a relaxing effect with mental clarity due to its high CBD content. It has a low THC content of 1% and a high CBD content of 12-15%. Because of its concentration, C-3PO is an excellent choice for medical marijuana patients suffering from depression and stress, just like its robotic, neurotic namesake.

R2-D2 Kush is an Indica-dominant hybrid strain whose smell is reminiscent of Pine Sol. Come to think of it, this is probably what R2-D2 smells like when he needs an oil bath. It's hard and fast to really transport you to another place.

The Jedi Masters

AND Darth Vader is a potent indica-marijuana hybrid that produces an intellectual high combined with an opiate-like body relaxation. The effect is deep and long-lasting. The power of the Vader Force is expressed in its effects, which ensure complete body relaxation and sleepiness. Ideal for treating insomnia, this strain may not blow your mind right away, but it will definitely calm your mind and put any important productive plans on hold.

AND 1 Kenobi is an 80/20 indica-dominant marijuana hybrid with a THC level of 18-23%. It is a cross between Master Kush and Skywalker OG Hybrid and is often confused with Skywalker OG. With Kenobi, the force is strong. This strain is not for pot padawans. It could render you unconscious, just like Kenobi rendered Anakin Skywalker unconscious before he fell into the lava pit. However, if you're in severe, chronic pain, you might say, “Help me, OG 1 Kenobi, you're my only smoke!”

Master Yoda is a cross between OG Kush and Master Kush. Yoda is an indica dominant marijuana hybrid. The original Master Yoda would know, and the sativa side of this predominantly indica high has just enough uplifting balance to satisfy just about anyone. Relax!

Jedi Who (also known as OG Jedi) is a pure indica marijuana with a CBD content of 2% and a THC level between 19 and 25% on average. Jedi buds are spade-shaped, like Star Destroyers, with orange and purple undertones, like Mace Windu's lightsaber. The effect is almost comparable to microdosing.

And of course… the ultimate

Death Star is a fully functional 75/25 indica dominant hybrid with a high THC content. It is a cross between Sensei Star and Sour Diesel. Just like the DS-1 Orbital Battle Station, this hybrid hits hard and is therefore better suited for use in the evening and at night. Grind it up in a Death Star-inspired grinder.
