Shopping for a Star Wars fanatic can be a challenging and daunting adventure. As someone who’s Star Wars-obsessed myself, I speak from personal experience here. Friends and family in my circle have seen how passionate the fandom can be about the iconic franchise. Simply put, finding the best Star Wars gifts isn’t easy. Especially when you consider that die-hard fans have been known to snatch up every new Star Wars item as soon as it hits the market. Whether it’s that brand-new book, elusive collectible or coveted Jedi merch tied to the latest streaming TV series, keeping ahead of the curve demands considerable effort.
But if Obi-Wan Tano can survive a final lesson from her former Master and Cassian Andor can pull off a high-profile robbery of Imperial payrolls — with the help of some Rebel friends — you should take solace in the fact that finding the perfect gift is absolutely doable. We’ve rounded up a collection of our favorite Star Wars gift ideas, from action figures to home goods, and even some quirky recipe books to really get things cooking.
If you’re looking for cool Star Wars gifts and collectibles for the original-trilogy purist in your life or some Clone Wars-obsessed kids, there’s an option for every budget — from engaging novels and fancy replica lightsaber chopsticks to snuggly plushies and fun board games. Yes, the Force is strong with this list. Here you’ll find the best Star Wars gifts and memorabilia, for your loved ones or yourself. And bonus: You won’t even have to battle a stormtrooper army or travel to the Galactic Empire’s Outer Rim to find them. We have the droids you’re looking to gift.
