A Star Wars Christmas Gift Guide Because Star Wars

Star Wars. Star Wars. Star Wars. Star Wars.


Star Wars Rebellion Board Game

One of the best board games I own. And I got it back when it as pushing $200. It’s an intricate and fun tactical game with gorgeous pieces to boot.

A board game of epic conflict between the Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance for 2 – 4 players.

Price: $126.76.

Have it already? The expansion is also available for $69.95.



The Princess Diarist By Carrie Fisher

I teared up in all of Carrie Fisher’s scenes in The Last Jedi. The world is a sadder place without her.

Not only was she a talented actress, but also a sharp, humorous and beautiful writer.

When Carrie Fisher discovered the journals she kept during the filming of the first Star Wars movie, she was astonished to see what they had preserved – plaintive love poems, unbridled musings with youthful naïveté, and a vulnerability that she barely recognised.

In 1977, Carrie Fisher was just a teenager with an all-consuming crush on her co-star, Harrison Ford. With these excerpts from her handwritten notebooks, The Princess Diarist is Fisher’s intimate and revealing recollection of what happened on one of the most famous film sets of all time – and what developed behind the scenes.

Price: $13.87


Sphero Trainable BB-8

I dare you not to fall in love with this little guy.

Meet BB8 – the app-enabled Droid that’s as authentic as it is advanced. BB-8 has something unlike any other robot – an adaptive personality that changes as you play. Based on your interactions, BB-8 will show a range of expressions and even perk up when you give voice commands.

Price: $157

Star Wars: The Ultimate Vinyl Collection

Because this entire score owns my heart.

The ultimate collection spanning the original six episodes of Star Wars brings some of your favorite movie compositions to you pressed on to vinyl. The LPs are presented in a black, soft-touch laminated slipcase with an embossed, hot silver foil Star Wars logo.

LEGO First Order Heavy Assault Walker

You’re never too old for LEGO.

Grab the First Order Heavy Assault Walker and lumber into battle against Poe, Rey and the Resistance allies. Fire the head-mounted spring-loaded shooters and take aim with the rapid-fire stud shooter on top.

When you run short on ammo, open the compartments and reload. If the Resistance fighters get too close, drop the mines at the back to give them a big surprise! Can the Resistance defeat this tough walker? That’s for you to decide…

Price: $158


Star Wars: Thrawn by Timothy Zahn

My favourite Star Wars author has done it again. I can’t wait for the sequel!

After Thrawn is rescued from exile by Imperial soldiers, his deadly ingenuity and keen tactical abilities swiftly capture the attention of Emperor Palpatine. And just as quickly, Thrawn proves to be as indispensable to the Empire as he is ambitious; as devoted as its most loyal servant, Anakin Skywalker; and a brilliant warrior never to be underestimated.

On missions to rout smugglers, snare spies, and defeat pirates, he triumphs time and again even as his renegade methods infuriate superiors while inspiring ever greater admiration from the Empire.

All these lessons will be put to the ultimate test when Thrawn rises to admiral and must pit all the knowledge, instincts, and battle forces at his command against an insurgent uprising that threatens not only innocent lives but also the Empire’s grip on the galaxy and his own carefully laid plans for future ascendency.

Price: $25.50 (23% off).


Star Wars Battlefront 2

Skip the controversial loot boxes and just enjoy the campaign.

Cut through waves of enemies on Starkiller Base with a powerful lightsaber in your hands. Storm through the jungle canopy of a hidden Rebel base on Yavin 4 with your fellow troopers, dispensing firepower from AT-STs.

Line up your X-wing squadron for an attack on a mammoth First Order Star Destroyer in space. Or rise as a new Star Wars hero – Iden, an elite Imperial special forces soldier – and discover an emotional and gripping new single-player story spanning thirty years.

Price: $39 (PS4 and Xbox One) or $49 (PC).


Pew Pew Pew Shirt

I already have too many Star Wars shirts. But then, can you ever really have too many?

This one made me laugh, but there are PLENTY of great designs out there, like at Red Bubble and Tee Public.

Price: $36


Star Wars Mug

I’m big on novelty mugs, and I like the original series design. Simple. Elegant.

Plus – bonus coaster!

If this design isn’t for you, there are plenty more.

Ugly Christmas Jumper

I bloody love a good, ugly novelty Christmas jumper.

Woe unto the Imperial Officer who shows up to the Death Star holiday party without any sign of festive cheer.
