Beginning with the first film in 1977, 'Star Wars' is a hugely popular space saga created by George Lucas which has many well known characters including Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, R2 D2, Princess Leia, Chewbacca and Kylo Ren.
It is a global franchise that not only includes the movies but also 'Star Wars' toys, collectables, clothing, and much more. The studio that makes the 'Star Wars' movies, Lucasfilm, was bought by Disney in 2012 and this has only added to the amount and variation of 'Star Wars' paraphernalia that is available for every 'Star Wars' fan to add to their 'Star Wars' collection.
If you are looking for cool 'Star Wars' stuff that will make the perfect present for a 'Star Wars' fan then you don't have to look to a galaxy far, far away because we have put together a top 10 list of 'Star Wars' themed gift ideas that are sure to make the recipient say "Yoda best!"
For more ideas, take a look at these space toys and these Disney gifts for kids of all ages that we are sure will go down a treat.
Boba Fett is one of the most well known bounty hunters in the 'Star Wars' films and his Mandalorian armour is instantly recognisable for its green, red and grey colour scheme. This backpack takes inspiration from that and even features the Rebels Alliance icon. It is ideal for using for school, travelling, and taking out and about on weekends as it has a large main compartment and five additional sealed side pockets
If you need a gift that is sure to delight a female 'Star Wars' fan without breaking the bank then this Tangle Teezer with a 'Star Wars' collage print is a great option. The print on the front features 'Star Wars' favourites including Darth Vader, Yoda, Chewbacca, R2 D2 and C3PO and the compact size of the brush makes it great for keeping in a bag, taking to gym for using after swimming and even just keeping on a dressing table.
Perfect as an addition to any bedroom or chill-out room, this string of twelve LED death star balls are sure to light up the dark side with the beautiful green glow that they give out. Battery powered, they are easy to put up and although smaller than the Empire's ultimate weapon, they are still incredibly effective and bright.
This large 'Star Wars' figures set contains eight action figures of characters from the film including Yoda, Darth Maul, Luke Skywalker, Mace Windu, Kylo Ren, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Rey and Darth Vader. All 10cm in height, each figure has several points of articulation and come with their signature coloured lightsabers. This set will give any 'Star Wars' kid hours of fun as they re-enact scenes from the films, and have Jedis like Yoda and Rey battling dark side foes like Darth Vader and Kylo Ren.
'Star Wars' spaceships are iconic aspects of the films, with the Millennium Falcon, the Death Star, and the TIE Fighters being just some of the most recognisable. With this Knights of Ren transport ship Lego set, your kid can build one of the 'Star Wars' ships from 'The Rise of Skywalker' film and have fun imagining using hyperspace travel to visit another galaxy far, far away as a member of the dark side and one of Kylo Ren's masked warriors. The ship even hovers thanks to the hidden skis underneath, it has two opening cockpits, a mini-figure prison compartment and two spring-loaded shooters. The set also comes with three Lego mini-figures so that once the build is finished, your child can have fun reliving their favourite scenes from the film in Lego format.
Stormtrooper gifts are incredibly popular and this 'Star Wars' onesie is sure to be no different. It features the iconic Stormtrooper helmet printed on the hood with black and white armour adorning the front. It is ideal for kids to wear before bedtime to keep them cosy on chilly nights whilst still being able to pretend they are fighting for the First Order, Darth Vader and the dark side.
If you have a 'Star Wars' mad son, nephew, brother, grandson, or godson and are looking for 'Star Wars' gifts for him then these 'Star Wars' pyjamas might just be the thing you're looking for. Of course, they are just as suitable for girls as well, and they feature R2 D2 from the original films as well as the adorable BB-8 from the newer sequel trilogy. They make a great alternative gift to a 'Star Wars' toy and are ideal as a Christmas gift as they have long legs and sleeves which is perfect for that time of year.
If you are thinking that 'Star Wars' clothes might make great gifts for 'Star Wars' fans then this 'Star Wars' top, which is suitable for a boy or a girl and comes in a variety of sizes might fit the bill. It features a Stormtrooper helmet on the front filled in with bright primary colour camouflage and with black background splatter behind. Short sleeved and soft, it is perfect for wearing for any activity whether that is playing outside or lounging in front of the TV for a 'Star Wars' movie marathon. With so many fans having a soft spot for the hapless imperial soldiers, it is sure to be worn and loved.
'Star Wars' outfits are a firm favourite with children who want to roleplay as their favourite characters. If you are looking for children's 'Star Wars' costumes that will make the perfect gift, this kids' Jedi costume is perfect. Ideal for playing 'Star Wars' dress up, any child that wears this costume can pretend to be part of the noble Jedi order and practice feeling the force which they can use to guard peace and justice in the Galactic Republic against 'Star Wars' villains such as Darth Vader and Darth Maul. The one downside to this costume is that it doesn't come with extra accessories or the all important lightsaber so this will be an additional purchase if you want to complete the outfit.
This is one of those 'Star Wars' gifts that will keep 'Star Wars' fans entertained for hours and hours. Although not a full costume, the 'Star Wars' Darth Vader mask is recognised the world over. It is designed to look just like it does in the movie and electronically changes the wearer's voice to sound like the authentic 'Star Wars' Darth Vader. It even has an additional button of the side for sounds and breathing. Children can pretend to be the character, re-enact scenes from the films or make up their own new galactic adventures. This gift can even serve another purpose and make an eye-catching wall decoration if hung up when not in use.
With this three piece tableware set, a pinch of galactic fun can be brought to kids' mealtimes. The bowl features a Stormtrooper helmet in the centre and each piece has the First Order symbol and a black, white and red colour theme. Made from plastic, they are safe from accidents and drops and are incredibly easy to clean once dinner is over.
If you have a 'Star Wars' fan who happens to also enjoy baking then gifts that combine these two interests are sure to appeal. This set includes four plunger style cutters, with each being a different colour and a different character from 'Star Wars': Darth Vader, Yoda, Chewbacca and C3PO. They are perfect for making cookies but can also be used to shape fondant and marzipan for cake decorating and can even be used for other craft media such as polymer clay.
This bumper book provides a breath-taking visual through the 'Star Wars' universe with more than 2,500 colour images and information about 'Star Wars' culture, science and geography. The encyclopaedia covers everything imaginable from characters and clothing to lightsabers and even food. This encyclopaedia covers items and characters from episodes I-VII, 'Star Wars Rebels', 'Star Wars: The Clone Wars' and 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story' so there really is a huge amount to discover and learn. It features a foreword by Dennis Muren who is a special effects artist and supervisor, worked on the 'Star Wars' films and has won nine Oscars.
This tongue in cheek, comedy survival guide will give any 'Star Wars' fan insider knowledge on how to take and survive some of the galaxies most treacherous problems. It contains a range of tactics and words of wisdom all split into categories such as starship safety, disguises and going undercover, alien languages and working with droids. The solutions to these dangers are all complemented by colour pictures and drawings making it easily digestible and enjoyable to read.
If you want a 'Star Wars' gift with that extra special touch then opting for something that can be personalised is a great choice. These super soft 220g cotton t-shirts come in a short sleeved or long sleeved variety and sizes start from nought to three months and go all the way up to 16 years which means you can cater to even the smallest of fans.

Names up to 15 letters can be added for personalisation and they can be framed in a variety of film surrounds that all have the recognisable 'Star Wars' font. You can choose from such wording as 'Jedi in training', 'the force is strong in this one' and 'wear this t-shirt you will' which really means you can cater it to the likes of the recipient.
