The universe is experiencing Star Wars fever like perhaps never before, and with good reason. Over the weekend, the newest film in the galactic saga, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, recorded the second highest-grossing opening weekend of all time (number one is The Force Awakens, the previous film in this trilogy). Critics and fans alike have hailed it as the best entry in the franchise—which might be tough to accept for those of us who’ve always held Empire Strikes Back in that position. With Christmas just around the corner, Star Wars merchandise is seemingly everywhere. If there’s a Star Wars fanatic on your last-minute shopping list, we’ve got a few picks for some gift ideas.
Lenovo Jedi Challenges AR Headset with Lightsaber
This augmented reality system lets users channel their inner Jedi to battle some of the most notorious villains from the Star Wars universe. Once users don the headset, the augmented reality technology will bring menacing villains into the actual environment around them, and it’s up to the Jedi to wield the included Lightsaber to win the battle. And unlike more complicated VR systems that need to be hooked up to a high-end computer, the Jedi Challenge AR system is powered by just a smartphone—it’s currently compatible with over 15 different iOS and Android devices, with support for more being constantly added.
Sony PlayStation 4 Pro Battlefront II Bundle
The ultimate gift for the gamer, the Sony PS4 Pro is the foundation of a truly out-of-this-world entertainment system. The newest PlayStation console is the first to offer gaming and content streaming in 4K HDR, for an immersive experience like nothing that’s come before. The PS4 Pro Battlefront II bundle includes a limited edition Star Wars-designed console, with matching controller, as well as a copy of Star Wars: Battlefront II. And for a limited time, this bundle also includes a free copy of Call of Duty: WWII.
HP Star Wars Padded Laptop Sleeve
Perfect for the computer user who tends to put their electronics through the paces, this padded sleeve will keep their laptop from looking like its endured an intergalactic battle. It snugly cradles laptops up to 15.6″, and features a durable, scratch-resistant exterior and padded interior.
Propel Star Wars Drones
Every Star Wars fan has dreamed of racing through the forests of Endor on a speeder bike, or engaging in a deep-space dogfight between an X-Wing Starfighter and a Tie Fighter. But since this is real life, flying these drones from Propel will have to suffice. Each of these highly-detailed drones comes in a decorative box with a display case that lights up and plays a different iconic Star Wars theme. Multiple speed settings make these drones fun for both beginners and experts—learn to fly slowly, or speed around the sky at up to 35 mph. And Battle Mode lets you engage in aerial laser battles with other drones users.
