10 Best Gifts for Star Wars Fans (2026)

Star Wars fans already own a lightsaber. Probably three. So shopping for gifts for Star Wars fans is less about finding something with a Death Star on it, and more about skipping the junk that ends up in a drawer by New Year’s.

This list does that. It runs from stocking stuffers to one big splurge, and it leans toward stuff they’ll actually use: chopsticks that light up, a waffle maker that brands Vader’s face onto breakfast, a card game for two, and a new LEGO starfighter for the shelf. The 2026 update drops the pandemic face masks, the Han Solo fridge wrap (no longer sold) and a 2017 video game, and adds this year’s best Star Wars game and LEGO sets.

Prices move all the time, so the budget groups below are rough.

Quick picks

• Best cheap gift: ChopSabers lightsaber chopsticks
• Best for two players: Star Wars: The Deckbuilding Game
• Best for gamers: Star Wars Zero Company
• Best splurge: LEGO Star Wars The Mandalorian’s N-1 Starfighter

Under 25 bucks

ChopSabers Lightsaber Chopsticks

Lover of sushi and ramen and also a big Star Wars fan?

Say no more.

These chopsticks have a small button that lights up the “blade”, so you can eat noodles while wielding a tiny lightsaber. The 4-pair set comes in red, blue, green and purple, which means a lightsaber duel once dinner is done. They run on LR41 button batteries and are made of BPA-free plastic. One practical note: there are electronics in the handles, so check the care instructions before they go anywhere near a dishwasher.

theory11 Star Wars Playing Cards

This official deck from theory11 comes in a Dark Side version (Vader, Kylo Ren, the Emperor) and a Light Side version (Rey, Leia, Han, Luke), plus special silver and gold editions. The cards are printed in the U.S. by the United States Playing Card Company on Casino-quality stock, so they survive a lot of poker nights. It’s still our favorite cheap Star Wars gift, and it fits in a stocking.

Bitty Boomers Grogu Bluetooth Speaker

Grogu, but he plays music. Bitty Boomers make tiny pop culture figures with a Bluetooth speaker inside, and this one is 2 inches tall. The battery lasts up to about four hours, it doubles as a selfie remote, and you can pair two of them for a bit more sound.

Don’t expect it to blow you away. It’s still a 2-inch Grogu. But it’s a desk toy that happens to play music, and that’s exactly the kind of thing a Mandalorian fan smiles at. It charges over micro-USB, which feels very 2020.

25 to 100 bucks

Uncanny Brands Darth Vader Waffle Maker

Breakfast, but make it Sith. This officially licensed waffle iron stamps Darth Vader’s helmet into your waffle. According to the listing, you can make a 6-inch helmet-shaped waffle, or fill the whole plate for a 7-inch round waffle with Vader in the middle.

It’s a novelty appliance, so it takes up cupboard space for something that makes one kind of waffle. That’s the con. The pro is that every Sunday breakfast now comes with heavy breathing. Pair it with our Darth Vader lightsaber hand blender for a full Dark Side kitchen.

Star Wars: The Deckbuilding Game

Operation: Chewbacca Edition used to be our board game pick. It’s a kids’ game, though, and this one is a lot more fun for adults. Star Wars: The Deckbuilding Game from Fantasy Flight is a head-to-head card game for two: one of you plays the Empire, the other the Rebels, and you buy stronger cards from a shared row to blow up each other’s bases. A game takes about 30 minutes.

Reviewers call it a classic two-player deckbuilder with a Star Wars skin. What Board Game gave it an 8 and called the card interplay fantastic. The con: it’s strictly two players in the base box, so it’s not a party game. If they’re more into the prequels, there’s also a Clone Wars Edition.

LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Bust (75439)

The old version of this list had the LEGO Art Sith mosaic, which LEGO retired years ago. The 2026 Darth Vader Bust is a good replacement for the same kind of fan: an adult who wants a Star Wars piece on the shelf, not a toy. It’s 349 pieces, stands over 7 inches tall, and Vader’s head turns left and right. It comes with a nameplate and a Vader minifigure.

IGN liked how it pulls back from the older helmet sets to show Vader’s shoulders and cape chain. The con: at 349 pieces it’s one evening of building, not a weekend project. For a weekend, look at the splurge section.

Star Wars Zero Company

Battlefront II from 2017 was our video game pick for years. The 2026 pick is Star Wars Zero Company, a turn-based tactics game (think XCOM) set at the end of the Clone Wars. You lead a squad of clone troopers, scoundrels, droids and one Jedi, and you plan missions from your base between fights. It’s made by Bit Reactor with Respawn and published by EA.

It launched in August 2026 and reviewers are happy with it: IGN calls it an excellent tactical game with the cinematic feel of the Jedi games. The con: one reviewer ran into graphical glitches, and turn-based combat isn’t for everyone. Check they have a PS5, Xbox Series X|S or gaming PC first.

Splurge

Citizen Eco-Drive Star Wars Death Star Watch

Citizen has been making Star Wars watches for years, and the collection is still growing: there’s even a new Mandalorian chronograph for 2026. Our pick is the all-black Death Star model (BJ6539-50W). It has a 41 mm black ion-plated case, luminous hands and Citizen’s Eco-Drive movement, which runs on any light and never needs a battery swap.

I’m not a watch guy myself, but I might cop one of these, because they look so pretty. The con: it’s serious money for a watch with a fictional space station on it, so this is for a fan who’ll wear it, not one who keeps it in the box.

LEGO Star Wars The Mandalorian’s N-1 Starfighter (75442)

This is the big one. The N-1 Starfighter is the Ultimate Collector Series set LEGO released for May the 4th 2026, just ahead of The Mandalorian and Grogu movie. It’s 1,809 pieces, uses silver bricks for the chrome look, and comes with Mando and Grogu minifigures and a display stand that shows it side-on or nose-first.

It’s rated 18+ and built for display, so it’s for adult fans with shelf space. The con: price. UCS sets are expensive, and this one is no exception. If that’s too much, the mainline Razor Crest from the same wave is the cheaper Mando ship.

Star Wars The Black Series Scout Trooper Helmet

Hasbro’s Black Series helmets are full-size, wearable replicas. The Scout Trooper one from Return of the Jedi has a button that distorts your voice to sound like a Scout Trooper, plus sound effects and an adjustable fit. It needs batteries.

The con: it’s a full-size helmet, so it needs a spot on a shelf, and it’s more of a display piece than something they’ll use every day. But for a fan who grew up on Endor speeder bike chases, it’s the gift that gets put on immediately. We also covered the Stormtrooper version with a voice changer.

Gift tips

• Know their era. Original trilogy, prequels or Mandalorian? A Clone Wars fan will love Zero Company. A 1977 purist might not.
• Check the platform. Video games and consoles don’t mix. Ask (sneakily) which console they have.
• Batteries not included. Check the box of anything that lights up or talks, and tape a pack of batteries to it if needed.
• Wrap it big. A Death Star-sized box makes even a deck of cards feel epic. Or skip the box and go with our 6-foot Death Star beach ball.

If they already own all ten of these, they’re not a fan. They’re a museum.
