The Star Wars Holidays Gift Guide

The Holidays are coming! It is time for all of us to look around for the perfect gift to give to family and friends… in the Star Wars Holidays Gift Guide!

Are you a Star Wars fan like me? Do you have a friend, who is? In any case, this year’s Star Wars Gifts Guide will help you find something interesting, useful, cool or just… fluffy for the person you want to surprise for the Holidays!

Following the starwars.com’s example, I decided to make a list myself. It’s strange how no matter what happens with my favorite franchise, my love for it only grows with each passing years. If you have a friend, who’s just like me (or even worse… umm… I mean bigger fan!), then check out what I think is awesome and should be a perfect gift for a fan of the glow sticks.

EVERYBODY LIKES LEGO STAR WARS

You thought I’d immediately mention the Falcon, didn’t you? Nop. My favorite pick in this category is the LEGO Star Wars Episode VIII First Order Heavy Assault Walker. Its price tag is in line with the older walkers from the series, but considering the differences in the model itself and the techniques for building it, I gladly proclaim it my favorite.

It features posable legs and head with an opening cockpit for a minifigure. The spring-loaded shooters have never been an attraction for me, because I don’t get these for their play features, but it’s there anyway.

There are five minifigures – Captain Poe Dameron, Rey (with her lightsaber), one Resistance Trooper, one First Order Walker Driver and a First Order edition Stormtrooper.

The built model measures 35cm height and width and about 11cm in width. You can check out a video review of the model here.

Other cool items from this year’s LEGO Star Wars collection I can easily recommend are:

CLOTHES, YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH!

… And that is why I could not just select one. I will start with the one I got for myself, though!

This is the BSW Men’s Star Wars Jedi Order Vintage Style Logo Premium Hoodie. I got the “Good guys” logo, but if you are a fan of the Empire, there’s a model just for you!

Now, there are probably higher quality fabrics you could go for, but this one I got for myself just before the start of the Summer, so I am just now starting to really wear it. I ordered it from Amazon and had to wait quite a bit for it to arrive, but it was worth the wait.

It says that it’s a premium hoodie, but it’s not exactly the highest quality out there. I got it just before the Summer started, so I am just now starting to wear it regularly and I love it. It has almost replaced the Witcher hoodie as my favorite home apparel this season.

This Star Wars Little Boys’ Darth Vader Vapor Hoodie includes 100% polyester on the mesh (chest area) and 60/40% ratio polyester to cotton for the main part of the item. The zipper makes it easy and quick to put on or take off and it’s designed for a child. No matter how much you like the art, it just doesn’t come in big sizes :)))

A few more you should take a look at:

STAR WARS CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS

This thing came up as a recommendation to me while I was purchasing something entirely different. I guess Amazon knows me too well! Artoo Christmas Tree lights? Yes, I’l take a hundred, thank you.

This Star Wars Kurt S. Adler 10-Light R2D2 Light Set includes 10-light string and its total length is 3.5m. The R2-D2s are modeled out of plastic and light up in blue and white.

With a table piece like this one, you will re-live the events of Star Wars Episode IV during the whole Holiday season! The set is made of PVC, polyester, fabric and other materials. Its size is 5.3 inches, which is about 13-14cm.

WITH A GOOD BOOK IN FRONT OF THE FIRE PLACE…

Disney is breaking all records when it comes to quantities of literature released since 2013. There are novels, comic books, kids books, magazines… The choice is not easy at all, so I will recommend things I have already completed myself and know they are high quality reading material. It’s obvious that for a collector it doesn’t matter what is good, everything must be owned. If you are not a collector, however, here’s what I think you should get for yourself or as a gift.

The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia is not a new edition (it’s from 2008), but is one of the best gifts you can ever give to a new Star Wars fan. Older ones might already have it. :)))

It includes pretty much everything you can learn about the first six movies, but not only! Pretty much everything from the Clone Wars to the old Radio Dramas are included.

Here’s just a sampling of what’s inside:

character portraits of both the renowned (Luke Skywalker, Queen Amidala, Darth Vader) and the obscure (Tnun Bdu, Tycho Celchu, Bib Fortuna)
the natives and customs of planets as diverse as Tatooine and Hoth, Dagobah and Kashyyyk
the rituals, secrets, and traditions of Jedi Knights and Sith Lords
a timeline of major events in Star Wars history, from the Clone Wars and the inception of the Empire to the rise and fall of Anakin Skywalker and the invasion of the monstrous Yuuzhan Vong

I have just started Thrawn Alliances, but I know it will not disappoint, so I am recommending it to you too!In this one, as the title suggest, Thrawn and Darth Vader team up against a threat to the Empire.

These days they just spap a “best seller” to just anything. Timothy Zahn’s first book from the “new canon series” entitled simply Star Wars: Thrawn was excellent. If you have missed it, I recommend you pick it up. If you are planning to give

While Star Wars: Darth Maul – Son of Dathomir comic book released first in November 2017, it is worth your time. Darth Maul has not only returned, but he is everywhere now! His appearances in Star Wars Rebels and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story only enhanced the character and gave him a brand new role in the Star Wars universe.

This was my Star Wars Holidays Gift Guide for 2018. I hope you enjoyed reading it. From the bottom of my heart, I wish you Happy Holidays!
