At Royal Queen Seeds, we can't get enough of this all-time favourite, which is why we created Royal Skywalker—our version of the original Skywalker, accessible to growers everywhere. Bred from Blueberry x Mazar, Royal Skywalker boasts the perfect blend of indica and sativa genetics and delivers a soothing buzz worthy of any Jedi Master.

Royal Skywalker Genetics: Inspired by the Original Skywalker Strain

An illustration of cannabis buds with

Not to be confused with Skywalker OG (a more modern hybrid), the original Skywalker was born, like many legendary cannabis varieties, in the Netherlands. A product of the expert breeding efforts of Dutch Passion, the original Skywalker combined Afghan landrace genetics from Mazar-i-Sharif with the balanced, euphoric body buzz of DJ Short's Blueberry. The result? A slightly indica-dominant strain with a soothing effect that doesn't cause couch-lock—the perfect smoke for anyone looking to unwind without getting knocked out.

Inspired by the balance of the original Skywalker, our geneticists began creating Royal Skywalker by crossing our exclusive cut of Mazar-i-Sharif with a top-shelf Blueberry specimen. The results were out of this world, producing robust plants with excellent resilience, fast growth, and the capacity to deliver resin-drenched, dispensary-grade flower with minimal effort.

It wasn't long before we hunted down the perfect pheno, which we then stabilised to create Royal Skywalker—a balanced 60% indica hybrid that produces dense, deep-green flowers covered in golden pistils and exploding with delicious terps. Unlike her heavier indica relatives Skywalker OG and Skywalker Kush, our Royal Skywalker preserves that physically soothing yet mentally clear buzz that made the original Skywalker so famous.

Skywalker Strain Effects: What to Expect from Royal Skywalker

Royal Skywalker packs up to 25% THC—a considerable step up from the original Skywalker of the early aughts. But despite her increased potency, this strain delivers a perfectly balanced high. Inhale her thick, full-flavoured smoke and enjoy as your mind begins to elevate and subtle signs of physical relaxation settle in—your jaw unclenches, your arms lie weightlessly by your side, and your shoulders begin to drop.

If it's controlled relaxation you're after, this is the moment to set your joint aside and enjoy the smooth ride—akin to a light cruise on Luke Skywalker's X-wing. You'll be able to focus, stay creative, or even check a few things off your to-do list. If you're kicking back with friends, enjoy as the conversation deepens and flows effortlessly. For a heavier effect, step up your dose and settle in for a deeper stone that'll soothe your body and mind—perfect for resetting after a long day or before bed.

Some users report that Royal Skywalker produces red eyes, dry mouth, and couch-lock, particularly at higher doses. Remember to be responsible and enjoy her in moderation—especially if you're new to cannabis or sensitive to the effects of THC.

Skywalker Strain Taste and Aroma Profile

Royal Skywalker buds come drenched in a thick, white coat of frosty trichomes. Besides being loaded with THC, each of her resin glands comes packed with delicious terpenes: myrcene for a funky, musky, and earthy base, linalool for floral berry highlights, and caryophyllene for a delicious spicy kick. Close your eyes as you breathe in her dense aroma, and you'll enjoy notes of ripe mangoes, fresh berries, citrus, and toasted black peppercorns.

Royal Skywalker's aroma translates perfectly into her flavour profile. This strain dominates the palate from the minute you inhale her smoke or vapor—enjoy upfront notes of berries and citrus that dissolve into earthy undertones and linger on the tongue. Once you exhale, enjoy a spicy peppery kick that rounds out the entire experience—reminiscent of the original Skywalker, but with a modern twist.

Skywalker THC Level and Potency

Don't let her rich aromas and flavours let you get carried away—Royal Skywalker can easily produce up to 25% THC, placing her firmly among the most potent strains in the RQS catalogue. Expect strong effects that settle in quickly after your first toke and can produce a long-lasting buzz.

For an enjoyable experience, start low and go slow—especially if you're consuming this strain in concentrate or edible form. Give yourself time to gauge the strain’s effects, and only increase your dose when necessary to ensure a smooth and soothing buzz.

How Royal Skywalker Compares to Skywalker OG and Skywalker Kush

Skywalker OG and Skywalker Kush are two top-tier hybrids in the Skywalker family. As her name suggests, Skywalker OG stems from Mazar x Blueberry OG (Blueberry x OG Kush), while Skywalker Kush combines Skywalker x OG Kush. Thanks to their OG Kush influence, both of these strains have more indica-leaning profiles and produce heavier physical effects. Their aromas also feature some classic OG notes reminiscent of pine, wood, leather, gas, and bright citrus.

Thanks to her balanced genetics, Royal Skywalker offers a smoother alternative to these heavy-hitters, producing more manageable effects and classic Skywalker aromas.

Growing Royal Skywalker: Tips for Indoor and Outdoor Cultivation

Royal Skywalker is perfect for indoor cultivation in both soil and hydro setups. Growing to moderate heights of 80–130 cm, she's very easy to manage even in small tents or tight spaces.

Her compact structure and vigorous branching make Royal Skywalker ideal for training techniques like LST and mainlining. Use a screen or try lollipopping to help the plant focus its energy on top colas and boost yield quality. In the hands of experts, this vigorous hybrid can yield 600 g/m²—all after just 9–10 weeks in bloom.

Outdoors, Royal Skywalker is just as rewarding. Reaching 200 cm, she produces stunning specimens that love to soak up long hours of direct sunlight. If you're worried about her size, plant Royal Skywalker a little later, in smaller pots, and use training to help tame her vigorous growth. Thriving in warm, Mediterranean-like climates, Royal Skywalker is typically ready for harvest by October and can yield up to 600 g/plant.

Summary:

  • Height: 80–200 cm
  • Yield: Up to 600 g/m² indoors / 600 g/plant outside
  • Flowering time (indoors): 9–10 weeks
  • Harvest date (outdoors): October

Cookies are small information files that notify your computer of previous interactions with our website. These cookies are stored on your hard drive, not on our website.

This allows our website to function more quickly and remember aspects related to your previous visits (such as your username), making your experience more convenient.

SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Third-party services are required to conduct transactions and provide our services. In general, the third-party providers we use will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to enable them to perform the services they provide to us.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we must provide to them for your transactions.

We encourage you to read the privacy policies of these providers so that you can understand how these providers will handle your personal information.

In particular, certain suppliers may be located or have facilities located in a different jurisdiction than yours or ours. Therefore, if you choose to proceed with a transaction involving the services of a third party, your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which that service provider or its facilities are located.

Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Service of our website.

Web analytics service (anonymous data)

On this website we have integrated an element of a web analytics service (with anonymisation functionality). Web analytics can be defined as the gathering, processing and analysis of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. An analytics service collects, among other things, data about which website a person came from (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages they visited or how often and for how long they visited a sub-page. Web analytics is mainly used for website optimisation and for a cost–benefit analysis of internet advertising.

Courier service

To complete deliveries we use a courier service. This courier service carries out the delivery between our company and the consumer's home. To complete these logistics, the company requires access to the consumer's name and address information.

Mailing service

Royal Queen Seeds uses a third-party mail service provider to send its newsletter. This provider has access to limited account information related to opt-in consent (e.g. email address).

Marketing services

Royal Queen Seeds has the support of a company that specialises in marketing and communication activities. Their access to personal information is very limited and mostly anonymous.

Payment services

At Royal Queen Seeds we use external payment services to handle our transactions (e.g. credit card payments).

SECTION 6 – SECURITY

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry standard best practices to ensure that it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.

If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored using AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional industry standards that are commonly accepted. Information related to the account is protected with a hashing method. This method transforms the information into a generated hash. As a result, confidential information is protected and invisible, even to us. In addition, our databases are exceptionally protected against unauthorised access. For example, access to the database is only possible and permitted via approved IP addresses (e.g. from Royal Queen Seeds headquarters). Other attempts and addresses are rejected at all times.

Furthermore, data is anonymised as much as possible, so it cannot be directly linked to a specific consumer. With this data, however, we may be able to carry out market research and analysis. In addition, the third parties concerned (e.g. mailing service) are examined prior to our collaboration, comply with the GDPR from the EU and receive a processing agreement. Within Royal Queen Seeds, employees are assigned different access permissions. Specific permission provides access only to information that is strictly required to perform a task. Digital security measures are subject to change and must meet high requirements to ensure the safety of online customers. That is why, at Royal Queen Seeds, we appoint a security officer. Regular verification and improvement of security measures (where necessary) are part of the role.

SECTION 7 – CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, so please check back regularly. Changes and clarifications will be effective immediately upon being published on the Website. If we make substantial changes to this policy, we will notify you here that it has been updated so you will know what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we use and/or disclose it.

SECTION 8 – YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO:
