Best Star Wars gadgets and toys for Padawans and Masters alike
Everyone knows a Star Wars fan.
The LucasFilm space opera - most known for its three trilogies, the last of which comes to an end later this year - is a global phenomenon at this point, beloved by both the young and the old. For that reason alone, a Star Wars-themed gadget or toy can be a perfect gift choice. So, we've rounded up some of the neatest ones, like an official TIE pilot leather jacket and a Death Star planetarium.
These would make great presents for just about anyone's birthday or holiday occasion, and of course, May the Fourth.
Sphero BB-8

The Sphero BB-8 is a must-have toy for any Star Wars fan. The dinky robot companion is one of the big stars of the Star Wars franchise, and now you can control your very own robot sidekick. You can get a BB-8 either on its own, where you use an app on your smartphone to control it, or with a Force Band, which lets you use the force to move him in different directions.
Sphero has also expanded its app-enabled droid offering to R2-D2, R2-Q5, and BB9-E. As with BB-8, you can watch the Star Wars films with any of the droids and they will react to various scenes. They will even interact with each other if you have them all rolling around your floor at home.
