Actually, there are English signs everywhere. The stations, trains, and buses even make announcements in English.
And the streets and alleys were a breeze for me to navigate around. Besides, unlike here there are maps everywhere. So if you do get lost, just find yourself a map and orient yourself with it. It's easy.
What will be a problem is trying to figure out how to use the metro. It is literally the most confusing metro system in the entire world. Even my Japanese friends who use it daily still get confused using it. The larger stations such as Shinjuku or Tokyo have more than 10 platforms with 5 or more lines servicing it.
As for looking for Star Wars stuff in Tokyo, usual place would be Akihabara. Go into every shop that looks like it might sell toys there. Walk into the basement shops and the ones on the 3/4 floor too. Because the ones on the top floor may sell the same collectible you want for cheaper just because it is located on the top floor instead of street level.
Department stores such as Tokyu Hands in Shinjuku, Loft in Shibuya, Kiddy Land in Ometosando Hills have some Star Wars items too. Hell, upscale stores like Takashimaya carry Star Wars items too.
Even the gift shops all over Tokyo carry Star Wars collectibles. Seriously, Star Wars items can be found everywhere from chopsticks to the usual toys.
If you have any more questions just pm me and I'll try to answer it while it is all still fresh in my memory. I've only been back less than a week.
