American Tourister Star Wars Hardside Luggage with Spinner Wheels, R2D2, Carry-On 21-Inch

This is a great bag, the adults in our family now use it for travel! It’s adorable, and sturdy. The wheels move great. It expands, if needed. Only the top part expands, kind of like a triangle. But it gives good extra room.Half of it has a zippered area, the other half has elastic snaps to hold everything in place. I wish it has a large mesh zippered area like other bags. But we compromised by using our own zippered bags inside of it. It’s already been on 2 trips in the short time we’ve owned it. It made it thru baggage claim in good condition. I hope it continues to look good. Baggage claim is hard on bags and this seems to do well.We like to use it also because people are less likely to take a kids bag. Kids don’t carry anything valuable. So hopefully this will help…: not that we carry valuables in our bags. We just don’t want to hassle with a lost or stolen bag.

I bought this for my 11 year daughter before we went on vacation. It fit everything she needed for our week-long trip, and there was even room for more! She absolutely loves her R2-D2 suitcase, received several compliments while rolling this through the airport, and it fits the carry-on requirements and it was easy to place in the overhead storage on the plane.This is a hard-sided suitcase, and has a really neat texture. It opens like a clam shell, there's no zipping off the top flap and digging in to find something. You will need to set the suitcase on a flat surface to open it. I have no problem with that, as I've been using hard-sided suitcases for a while. But, if you're making the move from a soft-sided to hard-sided, this may be a different experience than you're used to.The suitcase is very well made, the spinner wheels work very well. The handle has two positions, half up, and full up. The zipper pulls have the rebel logo on them for an added touch. And, the suitcase came with a Star Wars luggage tag, as well. The inside has a nice rebel design blue, soft lining. The inside of the suitcase has plenty of compartments to keep your things organized. There are two main compartments on the inside, one side has elastic straps to secure belongings, the other side has a zippered panel to keep things on that side. There is also a zippered pocket on that panel, and another zippered pocket on the other side.I am tempted to buy the larger suitcases to go with these, but I'm not sure we need them. But, they're so awesome!

I bought this for my grandson. He & his dad loved it !I like Star Wars , so this one was a good buy.Quality is good , kept its good looks after one air travel with a suitcase protector cover !Very easy to maneuver , wheels were also good.Price is right , bought it on sale !!!

If you're on the fence about this: buy it. This is a really great piece of luggage. We purchased this for our 5 year old son (who is obsessed with all things Star Wars) before his first plane trip, figuring if nothing else it would be a great novelty item, and just be fun for his plane trips as a kid. We were hugely surprised when we received the bag, and found it to be very high quality and well made - like, WAY nicer than we thought it would be, and honestly probably too nice for a 5 year old (lucky him). It's not a novelty item at all, but rather an actually really decent piece of luggage that just happens to be Star Wars. Great spinner wheels, strong handle, exterior that can definitely hold up to some abuse, spacious interior with quality fabrics... this is a great carry-on for travelers and fans of SW of any age, and should last for several years!

This is a big hit in the airport, and if I'm on a 3-5 day trip this is the only bag I take as luggage so easily fits in overhead. Rugged and has some scratches for when they want to put it underneath at time of boarding. But... R2's got some wear on him! I joke that if the airline loses it I can say, "I Lost R2!"

The Good:StyleGraphicsVery well madeNice interior (has alternating rebel and imperial symbols as the pattern)Gets tons of attention everywhere you take it!Wheels are of excellent quality and roll with ease over most any surface or obstacleComes with a hard plastic Star Wars luggage tag (see pics)The Bad:Gets TONS of attention EVERYWHERE you take it! lolThe graphics, while really cool, are a bit low end (resolution needs to be higher)Alignment on the graphics is a little funky (see pics)Retractable handle seems a little flimsy (see detailed description)The Ugly Truth:I wanted something that would stand out and be easy to spot and man did I ever get my wish. These Star Wars bags will garner you attention wherever you take them. I heard everything from "Bad A^# bags!" to "Coolest bags ever!". The latter was from one of the stewards on the cruise ship who hopped on his walkie-talkie letting all the other stewards know we were coming their way and to check out the Star Wars bags. I was stopped over and over again by individuals wanting to know where I purchased them. If you are the shy type that does not like attention, then these are not the bags you are looking for! However, I doubt anyone seriously considering these as a purchase is afraid of a little attention.The Darth Vader carry-on, along with the 28 inch Stormtrooper bag, were the perfect combo for all my needs while on our cruise. Both bags offered an adequate amount of storage and held up well given the rigors of my vacation (i.e. baggage handlers). I did notice a couple scuff marks on my larger bag when we made it back home, BUT that is to be expected. All things considered I feel the bag was fairly resilent to the abuse it endured during the baggage handling process.The wheels on both bags performed flawlessly as did the overall design. The handle ergonomics is nice and I never felt as though it is oddly placed or inconvenient to use. I will say the handle on the carry-on seems a bit flimsy and I question if it will stand the test of time, but we shall see.Overall worth the money and I would buy them again in a heartbeat. It is very rare that form and function go hand-in-hand, but in regards to the American Tourister Star Wars bags it rings true. Hit "Add To Cart" as fast as you can you will thank me later!
