Star Wars: Squadrons
$40
Star Wars: Squadrons is the latest Star Wars video game for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. A starfighter game, Squadrons places you inside X-wings and TIE fighters to take on the Empire following the events of Return of the Jedi. Squadrons also supports 5v5 multiplayer. Squadrons is a nice Star Wars gift idea for gamers.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
$30
Respawn’s action game takes place a few years after Revenge of the Sith. In Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, you play as Cal Kestis, a Jedi Padawan who wants to get as far away from the Galactic Empire as possible (can’t blame him). Fallen Order is available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC and earned an 8/10 in GameSpot’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order review. Fallen Order’s price fluctuates quite a bit, and we imagine you’ll be able to find it for around $30 this holiday when shopping for Star Wars gifts.
Disney+ subscription
$70
For the hardcore Star Wars fan, Disney+ is a must thanks to The Mandalorian, which is exclusive to Disney+ and available to stream now. You can give the gift of Disney+ in the form of a one-year subscription card for $70. In addition to The Mandalorian, every mainline Star Wars film is on Disney+. This is arguably the safest Stars Wars Christmas gift on this list, as even those already subscribed to Disney+ can add a year to their account.
Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
$200
For the collector in your life, Best Buy’s exclusive box set contains every movie in the Skywalker Saga in one gorgeous package. Each of the nine movies has three discs: 4K UHD Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and special features. Additionally, the foldout case features artwork from each of the nine mainline films. Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is easily the most impressive Star Wars box set we’ve seen and would be a worthy addition to any collection.
Animatronic Baby Yoda
$59
For those who wish Baby Yoda was real (don’t we all?), this animatronic doll is the closest we can get to the real thing. Baby Yoda has 25 different sound and motion combinations, including cute giggles and the ability to move his eyes and ears. It also comes with a Mandalorian pendant necklace.
Baby Yoda 11-inch Plush
$25
Mattel’s 11-inch Baby Yoda plush is absolutely adorable and pretty much replicates The Child’s look in The Mandalorian. His hands and head are made of a hard rubber, while his plush body is filled with beans so he can be propped up for display. It’s hard to find a cuter Stars Wars gift than Baby Yoda.
Baby Yoda 8-inch Plush
$13
If you’re looking for a smaller Baby Yoda plush that could possibly fit in a large stocking, Mattel has an 8-inch plush that is probably the most cuddly of the bunch. Though it doesn’t look as realistic as the 11-inch plush or Animatronic Baby Yoda, the 8-inch plush is a full plush–even its head and arms are soft to the touch.
Baby Yoda Mini Figures
$16
The perfect stocking stuffer for the Baby Yoda fan in your life, these 2.2-inch figure sets show the galaxy’s most perfect baby in different poses. Each set comes with two figures, most of which are based on popular Baby Yoda moments in Season 1 of The Mandalorian, including Baby Yoda sipping soup and eating a little froggy.
Lego Baby Yoda
$80
This Baby Yoda Lego set is the perfect gift for fans of The Mandalorian and Lego. The 1,073-piece build stands at 7.5 inches tall and features a posable head, ears, and mouth. It also comes with a Baby Yoda minifigure and a small information sign. The Baby Yoda Lego set is one of the more inventive Star Wars gifts on this list.

$130
For the Lego fan in your life, this set is an excellent way to celebrate their love of The Mandalorian. This 1,023-piece build recreates Mando’s ship and includes a cockpit, cargo hold, spring-loaded shooters, and a detachable escape pod. It also comes with five Lego figures: Mando, Greef Karga, Baby Yoda, IG-11, and a Scout Trooper. The Razor Crest Lego set is one of the pricier gifts for Star Wars fans on this list, but it’s also one of the cooler Lego Star Wars sets in recent memory.
Empire Strikes Back Throw Blanket
$40
This limited-edition Star Wars throw blanket from the Northwest Company features an illustration by Star Wars artist Jason Palmer. While you can find plenty of knockoff Star Wars blankets, this is the real deal. Made of 100% polyester with a soft silk feel, it features all of the major players in Empire Strikes Back. It’s also quite large for a throw blanket at 50 x 60 inches.
Lego Millennium Falcon Set
$160
The Millennium Falcon has been a Lego Star Wars staple for years, with numerous iterations available to purchase. The latest set is based off of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. The main difference between this Millennium Falcon and older ones is the figures you get. Seven figures are included here: Chewbacca, Finn, Lando, C-3PO, Boolio, D-O, and BB-8. The build itself is 1,351 pieces, which makes it one of the more in-depth Star Wars Lego sets around and an ideal Star Wars gift for those who love Lego.
Arcade 1Up Star Wars Home Arcade
$470
Arcade1Up’s Star Wars Home Arcade Machine is one of the manufacturer’s most eye-catching cabinets yet. Featuring art that pays homage to the original Star Wars arcade cabinet, the machine comes with classic arcade versions of Star Wars, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. It includes a solid flight yoke and four buttons to mirror the original cabinet’s design and feel. This particular Arcade1Up cabinet includes the riser to make the three-quarter-scale machine come in at 5-feet tall.
Lego Brickheadz: The Mandalorian
$20
Lego Brickheadz are both weird and cool. These chunky figures are meant for display and kind of feel like Lego’s answer to Funko Pops. Of course, the best Star Wars Lego Brickheadz set features Mando and Baby Yoda in his bassinet. While they are small, the builds are still engaging, with the combined number of pieces for the two-pack at 295. While the box may be too large to fit in a stocking, this Star Wars gift idea is sure to delight fans of the Disney+ show.
Star Wars Lego Art
$120
Lego Art is one of the company’s most intriguing new products. Designed to be hung on walls, each Lego Art build features a staggering number of bricks that really help accentuate the finer details of the images. Star Wars Lego Art focuses on The Sith and includes three different builds that can be made with the same 3,395-brick set: Darth Vader, Kylo Ren, and Darth Maul. If you purchase three sets, you can combine them to make one giant display of Darth Vader. This is certainly one of the classier gifts for Star Wars fans on this list, one that will probably appeal more to older fans of the franchise.
Black Series – Darth Vader Action Figure
$25
Hasbro’s The Black Series is arguably the best Star Wars action figure line around right now, and this Darth Vader figure shows why. The 6-inch-scale figure is modeled after Vader’s appearance in The Empire Strikes Back and features a stellar amount of detail for the price. It is fully articulated and has a stunning metallic finish.
Black Series – Luke Training with Yoda Action Figures

Baby Yoda Waffle Maker
$40
Waffles are great already, but waffles with a Baby Yoda imprint? Even better. This Baby Yoda waffle maker imprints an image of his adorable face on a fluffy waffle while it cooks. You’ll need to get your own waffle batter and some non-stick spray to go along with the maker. You can also use the waffle maker to make other dishes like brownies, cakes, and sandwiches.
Star Wars: Rebellion Board Game
$90
Star Wars: Rebellion is a fairly in-depth board game that makes use of more than 150 miniatures representing troops and ships in the Imperial and Rebel armies. Played with two to four players, one team commands the Imperial Army, while the other tries to thwart their attempts to take over the galaxy as the Rebel Alliance. It’s an interesting game with lots of strategic depth, and you’ll have to play differently depending on which side you’re on. Rounds last upward of four hours, so this is an excellent weekend game for the family to enjoy together.
The Empire Strikes Back – Hoth Ice Planet Adventure
$25
A retro board game originally released by Kenner in 1980, Stars: The Empire Strikes Back – Hoth Ice Planet Adventure has a mouthful of a title, but it’s a pretty straightforward board game that can be enjoyed by youngsters and adults alike. Each turn, players spin to move about Hoth and collect Force Cards. Once a player acquires enough Force, they can battle Darth Vader to win the round. It’s a quick and breezy game that lasts no more than 30 minutes. While there’s not much strategy involved, it’s a fun, family-friendly game.
Star Wars: Legion – Core Set
$75
Star Wars: Legion’s Core Set released in 2018 and has amassed numerous expansions since. The popular miniatures game puts you in control of an army of troopers, vehicles, and major characters in the franchise. Before even playing Legion, you’ll want to paint the miniatures. This makes Legion fun for both board game fans and those who like collecting and tinkering with models. The game itself is quite dynamic, which can lead to some thrilling battles that remain interesting and unique each time you play. The Core Set will get you started. From there, you can keep building your collection and expand the scope of the battles.

Chewbacca Electronic Mask
$29.35
Roar like Chewbacca with this awesome Wookiee mask. All you have to do to mimic Chewie’s sounds from the movie is open your mouth like you’re actually going to roar.

It’s a small price to pay to complete your Wookie costume.

Baby Yoda in a Bag Funko Pop

It’s available in 12-ounce and 20-ounce sizes.
