A new 2026 selection of Star Wars gifts brings together options for collectors, families, gamers and younger fans. The recommendations include products inspired by characters and scenes from across the franchise, with choices spanning toys, home décor, clothing and entertainment.
Among the featured items are Hasbro Black Series helmets, which aim to offer a balance between collectible quality and price. The range includes designs based on Darth Vader and several types of Stormtroopers, while the original battered Boba Fett helmet is discontinued and can be harder to find.
Lego remains another prominent choice. The guide highlights large builds such as the Death Star, as well as Smart Brick sets including a Throne Room Duel and A-Wing model. The latter recreates the final lightsaber confrontation from Return of the Jedi with lights, sound effects and music.
Fans looking for more unusual gifts can choose from Star Wars-themed darts, including Darth Vader designs, or a Millennium Falcon dartboard. Other options include metallic Displate artwork, with one design marking the 20th anniversary of Revenge of the Sith, and replica lightsabers such as Padawan Outpost’s Model Vader E6 Xenopixel. These sabers offer adjustable colors, sound effects, music and app-based settings.
For children, the guide recommends a GraviTrax marble run built around a Death Star board. The set includes X-Wings, TIE Fighters, a Star Destroyer and the Millennium Falcon, and can potentially be connected to other GraviTrax products.
The selection also includes a replica arcade cabinet based on the Return of the Jedi design. It contains the original Star Wars arcade game alongside The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi titles, with the original yoke flight controls. Because the cabinet measures 61.5 inches tall, 19 inches wide and 24 inches deep, buyers need to account for the space it requires.
Other recommendations cover everyday items and collectibles. Casetify offers Darth Vader and Galactic Empire phone cases for iPhones and Pixel devices, while Hedley & Bennett’s Star Wars apron collection includes Darth Vader and Ahsoka Tano designs. The guide also points to a Star Wars book focused on the franchise’s development, trivia, behind-the-scenes history and the contribution of its fans.
For group entertainment, a Star Wars edition of Villainous lets players control Darth Vader, Kylo Ren, General Grievous, Asajj Ventress or Moff Gideon. Each character has distinct abilities and victory conditions, and the game is recommended for four players aged 10 and above.
Collectors can choose among Hasbro’s Retro Collection, Vintage Collection and Black Series action figures. The first two use the classic 3.75-inch format, with the Vintage Collection adding more detail and articulated limbs, while Black Series figures are approximately six inches tall and generally more detailed.
The remaining ideas include a set of three ornamental Stormtroopers inspired by the “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” motif, along with a 2,000-piece jigsaw puzzle featuring more than 60 characters and a space battle background. The completed puzzle measures 39 by 30 inches, making a large table useful for assembling it.
