Star Wars

There’s a fan out there who doesn’t need another poster, doesn’t need another mug featuring a lightsaber. They definitely don’t need another LEGO set that you happen to own already. Finding that something for that person can be tough. Between market saturation and officially licensed mediocrity, most options are about as exciting as they sound. We built this because we didn’t want the obvious answer. At Beautiful Wrath we love Star Wars. Not like, culturally love, we love it like real fans. We have opinions on the original trilogy that we will never stop talking about. We’ve thought long and hard about what the perfect gift would look like for somebody who grew up with Star Wars and still feels it in their bones today. That fan is who we built this with in mind. Our parents didn’t hang posters from imported italian markets on their wall. We bought our own copy of The Empire Strikes Back. We want things that earn their keep, that feel like a part of your home or your life, without calling attention to themselves whenever somebody walks through the door. All of the picks here are things we genuinely love. We asked ourselves, is this something I’d actually want to give as a gift? If the answer was yes, was it recognizable? Acceptable? Finally: was it actually worth giving? Lots of stuff didn’t pass that last test because it leaned too hard on being Star Wars and didn’t have anything else to offer. That winnowed our list down significantly. Does your intended hail from 1977 or 2017? Doesn’t matter. Is it their birthday? Christmas? Are they just really hard to buy for because they have good taste and will notice if something isn’t quite right? Funko pops, games, art prints: we’ve got you. Some of these gifts are subtle enough to work anywhere. Some of it will blast things like it just destroyed the Death Star. Just… depend on who you’re shopping for and pick what feels right. We didn’t attempt to make gifts lists that covered every possible interest. We did everything we could to find the best iteration of the thing we’re geeking out about. So if you’re here for breadth of catalogue you’ll be disappointed, but if you’re here to find something you can feel awesome about giving; you’ve come to the right place.

Chewbacca

Star Wars fans and Chewie fans: there’s both of those groups and they are not always the same. Chewie fans aren’t looking for spaceships. They aren’t debating whether purist lightsabers are blue or green. They aren’t fighting over who gets the Ren Funko Pop first. They love Star Wars, but they are specifically here for one big, roaring pilot who has never been properly recognised for his achievements and who is, in every one of his appearances, the most loveable character in the franchise. That is a specific niche to care about and it requires specific gifts. We compiled this…

Darth Vader

Let’s start with why Darth Vader. Well, for starters Vader has remained at the pinnacle of cool for forty nine years. Not just entertainment history or meme culture, actual bloody cool. The suit, the breathing, the voice, the unwillingness to share the room with anyone else. You never stop loving Vader. Sure you might scoff at him for a few years in a misplaced act of rebellion, but then someone plays that theme in a shopping centre and you’re right there. Go ahead find better Vader merch than us. Good luck. It exists in landfill quantities and we’ve sifted through…

Han Solo

Meet the most specific kind of Star Wars fan. They don’t care about half of those characters or most of that galaxy. They want one man. One ship. One Wookiee co-pilot. And a jacket they wouldn’t hesitate to wear outside the cinema. Han Solo fans have always been a specific breed. Not the ones with all of the Jedi Code memorised. Not the ones who can debate midi- chlorians at length. The ones who looked at the room and decided the coolest person in there was the guy that just walked in late, didn’t give a damn about their rules…

Princess Leia

She never waited around to be saved. That’s the part people gloss over, or maybe internalized once upon a time but let slip away. Everyone was swooning over Han and Luke, but Leia was commanding starfighters, issuing orders, and shouting at Darth Vader without batting an eye. Leia became iconic decades ago and nobody who loves her remembers any other way. For all of you. That’s who this collection is for. Not the Joe Shmo with a wall poster, but for the person who always felt something when Leia was onscreen. Who grew up with her and grew those feelings…

R2D2

Look, there’s something about R2D2 that never gets old. Not just for the people who grew up on the original trilogy and had their minds blown when those first couple of beeps came through a movie theater speaker system. But for every generation since who has met him and immediately knows who he is. Brave, witty, and utterly unavoidable. No arms, no brain processed language we can understand, and somehow still the most animated character in the room. That isn’t nothing. Figuring out what to get someone who loves him can be the easy part. The difficult part is finding…

Star Wars

Star Wars fans aren’t casual fans. They grew up with Star Wars, they raised their children on Star Wars, they have opinions on the prequels that they want to share with you whether you like it or not. Buying them something involves a leap of faith because they already own the obvious gifts and they will know instantly if you bothered to try with this present or not. That’s why we took this seriously. We wanted to find gifts that would stand up to scrutiny from someone who doesn’t just know General Grievous from Darth Vader, but a favourite faction,…

Stormtrooper

There's something about the Stormtrooper that won't go away. Five decades after white armour first marched across our screens, it remains the first image people reach for when they want to say something about Star Wars without saying everything about Star Wars. Not Luke. Not Vader. Not even the Millennium Falcon. The Stormtrooper. And there's a reason for that. We think about it more than is probably healthy for us. The problem with purchasing gifts like this is that most stuff out there falls into one of two categories. Gigantic statues that you will never have room to display, or…

Yoda

Some characters are of a film. One moment. One time. Yoda is not one of those characters. What he does, what he’s been doing for over forty years now, is make people feel something. And in a world of entertainment that is just genuinely rare no matter the medium. There is something about Yoda that defies you putting him down as just a toy. As just another trinket to add to your collection. Even when that gift you’re considering is absolutely a toy. Absolutely a trinket. That is magic right there. He has earned that much. All of it. We…
