12 Star Wars holiday gifts your friends won't say 'Nooooo' to
Star Wars is as core to the very essence of modern human civilization as the microwave oven and the Internet. Given that, a Star Wars holiday gift seems like a no-brainer. Unfortunately, an Internet-ready microwave that plays Star Wars hasn't been invented yet.
Tragic, yes, but, in the meantime, we're certain these 12 Star Wars-themed gift ideas will fill your sci-fi nerd with good cheer (and possibly the Force).

Star Wars Blu-ray Collection Oh, theyâll tell you they donât want the latest edition of the original trilogy. Theyâll say how much they hate that Lucas keeps changing everything. The truth? They need to own it. They just donât want to have bought it themselves, because giving money to Lucas isnât the way of the Jedi. Youâre a rogue, though, and no mystical energy fields control your destiny. Your fan will thank you ⦠begrudgingly. $69.99
Star Wars FX Lightsaber Is there anyone in the galaxy that doesnât want to own a lightsaber? These ones, in particular, are fantastic. Not only can your friend thwack you over the head with it (with sound effects included) but, when theyâre done, they can remove the âbladeâ and carry around the hilt on their belt like a real Jedi. $129.99
Kotubukiya Stormtrooper Figures Oh, sure, theyâre a little short to be stormtroopers, but these figures (each pack comes with two) are probably the best weâve seen. They come with additional limbs (yes, really) and weapons for multiple posability. Once you buy your fan a pair of these, theyâll be tempted to purchase an entire army. $96.99
LEGO Millennium Falcon Everybody loves LEGO. Fact. The Millennium Falcon can make the Kessel Run in under 12 parsecs. Fact. If you have a friend who fervently believes both of these things, then this is about as perfect a gift as youâre going to find for them. $144.99
LEGO Advent Calendar Thatâs right. One piece of Star Wars LEGO magic for each day of December. Not so much an actual Christmas gift as it is the preparation for Christmas. All the same, can you think of any better way to help your Star Wars fan count down the days until Santa (who is probably a Jedi himself) comes down the chimney? $63.99
Yoda Slippers Do you have a friend who sometimes thinks about skinning Yoda alive and using his pelt for loungewear? Or maybe they just canât keep their toes warm? In either of these two events, we believe that said friend will be overjoyed to finally be able to wear a Muppet Jedi master on their feet. $19.99
Darth Sidious Bust Even in a galaxy far, far away, youâll probably have at least one friend who loves high-quality statues and busts. This year, Sideshow decided to delight (and horrify) the world with this rendition of Darth Sidious himself. If your fan is thinking of joining the dark side, this might be the place to start. $249.99
Tauntaun sleeping bag It gets colder than Hoth during the winter months. Itâs up to you to ensure that your little Luke Skywalker doesnât freeze to death. Why kill a poor, defenseless creature (seriously, that stinks) when you can give your friend a Tauntaun sleeping bag? Trust us, the Facebook pictures alone will make the gift worthwhile. $99.99
Star Wars Science—Force Trainer Letâs face facts—your friend probably doesnât have the midichlorians to be the next Skywalker, but that doesnât mean they canât try all the same. This fun gadget comes with a headset that has EEG sensors in it. The toy can interpret your friendâs brainwaves, helping them move objects with their mind! Perfect for your buddy, the padawannabe. $36.99
Interactive R2-D2 It doesnât matter if your friend is a Luke or a C-3PO—they are going to want R2-D2. This toy reacts to commands and will bring your friend their beer. Weâre not sure there could ever be a greater gift for a Star Wars fan than a little robot buddy of their very own. $199.99
Wampa Plush Throw Rug As the snow begins to float from the sky, your Star Wars fan is going to have one fear above all—Wampas! Yes, those awful beasts could show up at any moment. The only way to keep your pal safe is to buy them this throw rug which will let any abominable snow monsters out there know what will happen if they come banging down your Star Wars fanâs door. $99.99
Han Solo Frozen in Carbonite Ice Cube Trays When Han got frozen in carbonite, your Star Wars fan was probably really sad. You know what would make them even more sad—a room-temperature beverage! Their only hope is that you will buy them some ice cube trays in the form of Soloâs screaming face. Good holiday fun and a great stocking stuffer. $14.99
