The Skywalker Saga, 4K UHD
The Skywalker Saga is a nine-instalment behemoth, and it can now be enjoyed in full glistening 4K UHD. If you've got the tech to support it (a 4K HDR TV, an Ultra HD Blu-ray player and ideally Dolby Atmos speakers) you can enjoy every single movie, from The Phantom Menace through to A New Hope and on to the Rise Of Skywalker, is vibrant, pin-sharp quality. Not only that but as a 27-disc release, there are hours of extras to be enjoyed, too.
Art of Star Wars Books
Before the vibrant planets, cantinas, creatures, casinos and starships of Star Wars make their way to the big screen they are sketched out in beautiful concept art. Every film since The Force Awakens has been released alongside a hardback Art of Star Wars tome packing hundreds of pages of early designs and revealing tidbits from the art department.
LEGO The Mandalorian’s N-1 Starfighter
What doesn't Star Wars have? It's brimming with unforgettable characters, rich world-building, epic quests and flashy fighting. Plus, hella-cool spaceships. This upcoming LEGO model lets fans of The Book Of Boba Fett get their hands on the N-1 Starfighter (plus four figures, including The Mandalorian and Peli Motto). There's even a safe bubble for Grogu, a.k.a Baby Yoda, the most precious cargo in the galaxy, to hang out. Pre-order today: Release June 1, 2022
Star Wars One Sheet Poster
One of the most iconic posters in sci-fi film history, and it looks just as good as it did over 40 years ago. Get it, frame it, hang it on your wall.
LEGO Boba Fett’s Throne Room
As Disney+ has followed the adventures of Tattoine-bound bounty hunters, its given fans the chance to gaze upon legendary locations - such as Jabba's former residence. Featuring over 700 pieces, this folding LEGO set is a delight to behold, showcasing not only the throne room but the adjacent kitchen and barbecue.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
Multi-Platform | Do we all remember when the Jedi were purged in Revenge Of The Sith? As it turns out one sneaky (and very lucky) padawan managed to give the slaughter the slip. Now fully grown, fully ready for revenge, the survivor is ready to re-establish the Jedi Order, right under the nose of the Empire. Boasting a solid story and compelling single-player gameplay, Fallen Order is brimming with fodder for hardcore Star Wars fans.
Black Series Darth Vader Helmet
Say what you will about the Dark Lord of The Sith, but the man knew how to accessorise. Vader's signature look can be yours to imitate with this premium electronic helmet, which boasts three separate pieces, magnetic seals and breathing sound effects for that signature Vader rasp. It's the closest you'll get to feeling like a Sith, short of taking a dip in the fires of Mustafar.
LEGO BB-8
LEGO isn't just for younglings, and Poe Dameron's adorable droid is a hugely satisfying build. The finished thing has a rotating head mechanism, a pop-out thumbs-up flame, and comes with a display stand if you want to show it off. Best of all, you also get a teeny BB-8 minifigure. Happy beeps!
Funko Pop! Porg
Everyone loves Porgs — even Chewie couldn't bring himself to eat one (even though he'd already roasted it, what a waste). The adorable space-puffins of Ahch-To have nested into Star Wars lore (and our hearts) for good, and in true George Lucas style they've been immortalised in roughly a gazillion toys. The Funko Pop is an ideal desk buddy, and we may have an emotional support plush on hand in the office too.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens Big Sleeve Edition
Thought Jedi robes had big sleeves? That's nothing compared to Disney's special edition release of The Force Awakens, offering the film in a vinyl LP-style 12" cardboard gatefold. It won't fit on your DVD shelf, but it's begging for pride of place in your collection. The inner artwork of Han and Rey in the Falcon's cockpit as it jumps to hyperspace is a thing of beauty.
Star Wars — Ultimate Vinyl Collection
As far as iconic film music goes, John Williams' Star Wars scores are rivalled only by… well, John Williams' non-Star Wars scores. Enjoy the galaxy's finest symphonies in audiophile quality in a boxset collecting the entire original and prequel trilogy soundtracks on black wax, housed in a simple black box.
Star Wars Battlefront II
Multi-Platform | EA's Star Wars online shooter has been caught up in all kinds of controversy over the monetised lootbox system, but the gameplay itself is what fans have always wanted — massive battles blending all three eras of the Skywalker saga, with a campaign mode that fills in some of the 30 year gap between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens.
LEGO Kessel Run Millennium Falcon
Before she was (wrongly) dismissed as a hunk of junk by Luke Skywalker, the Millennium Falcon was a gleaming, brand-new, fresh-off-the-production-line beauty — and that's the version of Han Solo's iconic ship which we encountered in Solo: A Star Wars Story. Make your own box-fresh Falcon (including the weird filled-in nosecone thingy — that's a technical term) in LEGO's latest set.
Lightsaber Duel Moleskine Notebook
Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker clashed over many things — politics, parenting, painful hand-loppings — but if paper existed in the Star Wars universe the pair would probably have bonded in Jedi over a shared appreciation of Moleskine notebooks. Probably. The father/son duo's iconic Cloud City battle is immortalised on this hardback.
