Best Star Wars Gifts for Guys that Don’t want to Grow Up
I am a dad, but more than that, I am a guy who loves Star Wars and is always game for gifts. Be ready and surprise the ageless child in your life with one of these incredibly cool Star Wars gifts for guys. Never in my four and half decades of life would I think one of my favorite childhood movies would still be relevant.
Star Wars fans span the ages for sure. From toddlers to older guys like me, we welcome these best Star Wars gifts. The list of Star Wars gifts available ranges from functional (I would not mind the Jawa bathrobe), adorable (because who wouldn’t want to sleep with a Wookie), to questionable (why would I buy duct tape I would never use because it is so awesome?)
I narrowed my list of Star Wars gifts down to the three items on my wish list, and I hope my wife and kids will also see this article.
Hovering Death Star Bluetooth Speaker

• It plays music!
• Glows in the dark!

Lego 75105 Millenium Falcon
I have an earlier version of this, purchased about 15 years ago, featuring The Original Series characters. Had I kept it in the box, it would have been worth $600. But the joy and value of building it with my son a few years ago, combined with the fact that I can play with it, far outweigh any collector value. I digress.
75105 brings the Falcon back with Rey, Finn, and our returning heroes, Han and Chewie. For the canon fans out there, this version also has the rectangular radar dish, which, as we know, replaced the original round one destroyed as Lando flew off Death Star 2.0 at the end of Jedi.
At 1329 pieces, it’s a solid way to spend an afternoon
The World According to Star Wars
I’ve not read this, nor do I know much about it. This book intrigues me because of its focus on the mythos of Star Wars, its impact on society, and its influence on the lives of the many fans
A bit about me (aka a guy who doesn’t want to grow up)
I experienced Star Wars in the theater in 1977. I have the original version on VHS, the extended version on VHS, and the special edition (the one where Lucas added all the digital garbage) on VHS and DVD. I have the prequels on DVD. I have the box set BluRay (or should it be BluRey). I have all the soundtrack CDs so far. I destroyed all my action figures when I was a kid because I didn’t know any better. Thankfully, my wife has most of her originals still in the Darth Vader head-carrying case!

It’s OK, mom. 🙂 I don’t remember you selling them. I remember how many met untimely demise via the bench vice or firecrackers. I know many of the figures were buried in my sandbox. Did you know putting a water hose against the ground will bore the dirt out of the way and allow Star Wars figures to slip into the ground? I learned that!
In regard to Star Wars memorabilia….I made the mistake to sell my son’s Star Wars toys that he had as a youngster when he appeared to have outgrown them. So they were sold at a garage sale. Little did I know how many more Star Wars movies would come to light and how very important Star Wars items would be to him as he grew older and still loving his Star Wars toys. Regrets for sure! Sorry Brad!
