A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, you realized you needed to buy a gift for the Star Wars superfan in your life—today, you realized that you need to buy it now! Whether you just realized your Dad’s birthday is coming up, your cousin’s housewarming party is just around the corner, or your two best friends’ Baby Yoda-themed baby shower is in just a couple of weeks, we have the coolest Star Wars gifts for the Star Wars superfans in your life. The great thing is that since George Lucas created the films, there's been endless gift ideas of the Star Wars franchise. From a Star Wars subscription box to Lego Star Wars and more, the Star Wars movie franchise is not short of gift ideas.
A Han Solo paper poster, a Star Wars mug, or a Yoda plush toy may be cute and fun, but if you're looking for unique and great gift ideas beyond those, we've got you covered. Read on for five unique star wars gifts that will give your friends or family the joy of experiencing their favorite action-packed franchise all over again.
#1 Death Star Planter
Not all Star Wars fans fantasize about blasting off to space—some of them are quite happy here on earth, thank you very much. For your most grounded Star Wars superfan, this Death Star Planter is a must.
A miniature version of the Death Star space station, this planter does the opposite of that spaceship that dons a deadly laser—it propagates life. Paired with a small succulent or a trailing pothos plant, it would be terrific as a housewarming gift for the gardening guru in your life.
We’ve even got a punny message for you to include in the card: “May the forsythia be with you.”
#2 A Disney+ Subscription
If you have several superfans in your life, it can sometimes be a challenge to match up the right gift with the right aficionado. This Star Wars gift is ideal for:
- That cousin who’s notoriously MIA but drops a message in the family group chat just to ask for the streaming passwords.
- Your partner who, instead of gazing longingly into your eyes over dinner, shifts their lovestruck attention to the restaurant TVs playing re-runs of Clone Wars.
- Your friend and partner in movie marathoning who’s always up for movie night at your place (they’ll bring the snacks) or loves discussing what they think are the best Star Wars fight scenes.
Have you got someone in mind? Good. Enter: Disney+.
Since Disney acquired Lucasfilms in 2012, Disney+ is now home to all Star Wars movies and TV shows. The popular streaming platform even has games and apps, along with other content that will help your superfan dive deeper and deeper into the intergalactic world. Perfect for any new or senior Star Wars fan to binge watch all the movies in the Star Wars universe, from New Hope to The Rise of Skywalker.
#3 A Stars Wars Lego Set
For those who’d prefer to forgo a movie marathon in favor of a more hands-on activity, a Star Wars LEGO set is the way to go. Keep the little one in your life busy for hours with an age-appropriate LEGO Star Wars set featuring a cherished character or vessel. For big kids with an even bigger passion for the saga, opt for an advanced build—one that they can display on a shelf and admire for years to come. Not only is this a cool Star Wars gift, but it always keeps everyone busy while learning about and admiring the Star Wars universe.
#4 Star Wars Wall Art
Your Star-Wars-loving bestie just bought their first home—no, not on some far-off planet or star capable of supporting human life (much to their chagrin). Nevertheless, it’s an exciting accomplishment, and the perfect opportunity to earn the Best Friend of the Year Award with a thoughtful housewarming gift.
Liven up the bare walls of their new abode with some Star-Wars-inspired wall art. Is their favorite character Darth Vader? Luke Skywalker? Han Solo? Princess Leia? or what about Kylo Ren? Well, whoever it may be, Opt for something bold and bright like a Warhol-esque portrait of their top Star Wars characters. Alternatively, for someone with a taste for a subtle, neutral aesthetic, go with a vintage set of star vehicle patent prints.
#5 Star Wars Galaxy Box
Don't worry, we've saved the best Star Wars gift idea for last. For gift givers who prefer to take the work-smarter-not-harder approach, you’ve come to the right place.
