Star Wars Day is nearly upon us, and fans are gearing up to stock their carts with galactic goodies. While some are treating themselves, the rest of us are on the hunt for that perfect gift to delight the Star Wars fanatics in our lives.
Let’s be honest, finding the right gift isn’t easy. Especially when the moment Star Wars announces a new collectible, it’s already sold out. And even if it isn’t, there’s a dizzying range of options — books, comics, video games, blades, lightsabers, action figures, board games… the list goes on.
That’s why we’ve put together a curated list of gift ideas for 4th May that strike the perfect balance: meaningful, exciting, practical — and not outrageously expensive. Whether your giftee is a die-hard collector or a casual fan, there’s something here for every generation of Star Wars lover.
Star Wars Board Games
For Galactic Gatherings and Legendary Laughs
Board games are more than just entertainment — they’re a fantastic excuse for fans to gather and geek out. And when it comes to Star Wars-themed games, there’s a whole galaxy to explore.
The Star Wars Monopoly edition is an absolute crowd-pleaser. It covers the full Skywalker saga with characters from all nine films, making it a top choice for families and long-time fans alike.
For those who prefer something a bit more strategic, Imperial Assault, Rebellion, and Outer Rim offer immersive gameplay that can be enjoyed with two players or expanded to accommodate four or five. These are perfect for tight-knit groups that share a bond worthy of Clone Force 99.
Star Wars Action Figures
Nostalgia and Novelty All in One
Let’s be honest — action figures are more than just toys. They’re time capsules. Whether you grew up with the original trilogy or jumped in with the sequels, collecting Star Wars figures is a rite of passage.
Vintage fans would be over the moon to receive a 1978 original piece, while younger collectors will love the latest designs. From a vinyl Gonk droid to a retro Millennium Falcon, the options are endless. Each one sparks joy — and often a passionate story behind the collection.
From Darth Vader and Mace Windu to Leia Organa and Grogu, there’s a figure for everyone. Available in various sizes, colours, and materials, these iconic characters never go out of style.
Star Wars Merchandise
Fashion with a Force-ful Flair
We all have that friend who turns fandom into fashion. Whether it’s a bold hoodie or a subtle nod to the Empire on their trainers, Star Wars apparel is always a hit.
A quality Yoda tee is a must-have — especially with Grogu’s meme status in full swing. For something even more special, consider matching sets. Coordinated outfits not only double the Force energy but also make for excellent photo ops.
And don’t forget the PJ sets and jackets featuring famous duels. They make great gifts for both lounging and layering, perfect for rebels resisting the chill or preparing for a casual cosplay moment.
Star Wars Lightsabers
A Must-Have for True Fans
Is it even Star Wars Day if someone doesn’t whip out a lightsaber? Owning one is practically a requirement for any serious fan.
For kids, opt for safe, bendable-blade toy sabers that glow and make sound — guaranteed to bring smiles. For older fans or collectors, customisable sabers with soundboards, realistic hilts, and built-in tech are a dream come true.
Thanks to Star Wars Day sales, even the most advanced models have become surprisingly accessible. It’s the perfect time to gift a new lightsaber without blowing your budget — and most come with excellent warranties too.
Star Wars Home Gadgets
Bring the Galaxy Indoors
Not everyone can pilot the Millennium Falcon, but we can all bring a bit of the Star Wars universe into our homes. And with themed gadgets, that fantasy becomes a fun reality.
From R2-D2 fridges and themed speakers to power banks and smart lights, Star Wars home tech is the ultimate way to live the fan life 24/7. Themed popcorn makers are a fan favourite — they light up, mimic sound effects, and add cinematic flair to your movie nights.
These aren’t just gimmicks — they’re fully functional, genuinely useful gifts that Star Wars fans will actually use and love.
Final Thoughts: May the 4th Be Gifted
There’s no shortage of Star Wars merchandise out there — but it takes a bit of insight to find something that truly lands. Whether it’s a thrilling board game, a collectible action figure, fashionable merch, or a glowing lightsaber, your gift can make this 4th May unforgettable.
And if nothing else, make sure the youngest Jedi in the house gets a lightsaber tap of approval too. Everyone deserves a spark of the Force this Star Wars Day.
