#10: Funko Pop! Figures

These little guys are the “Star Wars” figurines you didn’t know you needed; and they’re guaranteed to make awesome stocking stuffers! From Kylo Ren to Chewbacca to C-3PO, there’s a Funko Pop! Star Wars character for everyone. The best part about these gifts is that they’re inexpensive, so you’ll make the “Star Wars” admirer in your life happy, while keeping your holiday gift-giving budget in check. With prices ranging from about $10 to $30, you may have a hard time purchasing just one.

#9: Voice Activated R2-D2

Remember the first time you saw a “Star Wars” film and imagined what life would be life if you had your own droid? Well, thanks to the American catalog company Hammacher Schlemmer, your dream is now (sort of) a reality. You could make a “Star Wars” fan lose their mind by giving them a Voice Activated R2-D2 for the holiday season; and don’t worry, you’ll get your money’s worth. R2 obeys more than 40 commands, has an infrared sensor that can scan a room for people and has the ability to replay sounds and dialog from the movies! The only problem with this gift is you’ll want to keep it for yourself.

#8: Imperial Assault Board Game

Can you really ever have too many “Star Wars” themed board games? The “Star Wars” Imperial Assault Board Game is a strategy game for young teens. It offers two different game experiences that will immerse you and your friends in the world of “Star Wars” like never before. Oh, and those little sculted figures are pretty wizard too. Whether you decide to do the campaign game or the skirmish game, the Imperial Assault Board Game will have you thinking you died and went to intergalactic heaven.

#7: “Star Wars Battlefront II” Video Game

Okay, so yes - we are well aware that this game has been wrought with controversy. Heck, we even put it on our Top 10 Most Disappointing Games of 2017 - and the points we brought up there still stand. But we also can't deny that for Star Wars fans, there's really no other recent titles that recreates the Star Wars experience with as much authenticity and visual splendor. So take this recommendation with a grain of salt, but for the fan who wants to PLAY Star Wars, this is still the way to go.

#6: Millennium Falcon Drone

Yes, you heard that correctly. Your childhood dream of one day piloting Han Solo’s iconic ship, the one that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs, can now be reality. Of course, you can’t put a price on total and complete euphoria; which is what any person receiving this gift might feel the moment they unwrap it. The remote control Millennium Falcon Drone checks in at 27 inches by 20 inches and has a range of up to 250 feet. All it needs is batteries and it’s good to go. To quote Chewie: WOOOOOOOAHHH!

#5: Remote Control BB-8

Here’s something to keep your voice-activated R2-D2 company! BB-8, Poe Dameron’s plucky droid sidekick first introduced in 2015’s “The Force Awakens,” can now help you patrol your home. The app-enabled droid is made by tech company Sphero, and is fully capable of rolling around on its own; it can also be controlled by your smart device. Sphero claims that “BB-8 is more than a Droid – it’s a companion”, and claims it has an adaptive personality that will change depending on your command. We’d give that a thumbs up!

#4: Original Trilogy Storyboards

Whether you saw them in a movie theater or on VHS, DVD or Blu-ray, the original “Star Wars” films remain one of the most groundbreaking trilogies of all time. Lucasfilm cracked open its vault in 2014 and and made the original trilogy’s storyboards available for purchase. This is the perfect gift for a “Star Wars” fan, who will undoubtedly spend hours poring over the highly detailed plethora of never-before-seen information. Need a solid companion gift to go along with this? How about one of the many “Star Wars” visual guides or dictionaries?

#3: Complete Saga Blu-Ray Collection

Now here is a gift that needs no explanation. While we won’t attempt to hide the fact that “Star Wars: The Complete Saga Episodes I-VI” will cost you a pretty penny, it’s 100% worth it. You’ll get Blu-ray copies of the first six films in the series, as well as companion discs, each loaded with awesome bonus features any “Star Wars” lover will flip for. The best part about this gift is that you can give it to a non-“Star Wars” fan as a way of introducing them to The Force. They’ll thank you later.

#2: Lego Set

You know what people like even more than regular Legos? “Star Wars” Legos! The amount of options that the Danish company provides for you to choose from is simply staggering. Want to give someone Kylo Ren’s TIE Fighter this holiday season? No problem. How about a 4000-piece Death Star? Lego’s got you covered. The possibilities are endless. Just zip over to the online shop and get started. We have a funny feeling you’ll end up purchasing a few things for yourself while you’re there, because it’s only right that whoever you buy these Legos for has someone to play with.

Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions:

“William Shakespeare's ‘Star Wars’” Book

Storm Trooper Helmet

“Darth Vader and Son”, “Vader's Little Princess” books

#1: Dueling Lightsaber Replica

At last we arrive at la crème de la crème. The ultimate “Star Wars” gift is, and will always be, a Lightsaber. Whereas past versions have left much to be desired, we now live in a world where anything is seemingly possible; and these Lightsabers from the past few years are proof. Costing hundreds of dollars, these sabers will make you feel like the power of the Jedi (or the Sith, if you’re feelin’ nasty) is in your hands. While we’re fully aware that most people don’t have unlimited room in their Lightsaber gift-giving budgets, our counter to that argument is . . . LIGHTSABERS! They buzz, they light up and they are 100% badass!
