I have received many, many Star Wars gifts over the years. I spent the first Christmas Day that I can remember flying Luke and his X-wing around the house. I met Darth Vader (David Prowse) when I was 6. I can still feel the shiver of fear as he strode through the double doors, reaching over the crowd to shake hands with me as my dad held me up. I never questioned why the Dark Lord of the Sith was in Woolworth’s.
When I became a dad, I had a fresh excuse to visit that galaxy far, far away and buy new toys. (I still regret selling my own in a garage sale to raise funds for our first home.) My wife and I love the original movies, and our kids prefer the prequel trilogy, but we all enjoyed watching the latest shows together. And because just about everyone knows I’m a fan, and I have received (and given) countless Star Wars gifts over the years. These are some of my favorites.

Updated November 2026: I added a marble run, a jigsaw puzzle, and an advent calendar. I also updated prices throughout.
