Star Wars Gifts for Her
By Tom James
If you've spent ages scrolling shelves of Vader and Boba Fett only to wonder where the women of Star Wars are, this guide is for you. It's built around Rey, Ahsoka and Leia, celebrating the characters who deserve pride of place on any shelf.
From a lightsaber worthy of Ahsoka Tano to a Leia-led Retro Collection set, these picks skew away from the usual male-dominated aisle. Whether she's a collector, a comics reader or just loves a good lightsaber replica, there's something here that actually speaks to her fandom.
1. Star Wars: A New Hope: Vintage Collection Action Figure: Sandtrooper Squad Leader

Star Wars Gifts for Her FAQs
What is a good Star Wars gift for a serious fan?
Something from the collector lines rather than general merchandise. Black Series and Vintage Collection figures are the ranges collectors actually follow, and the Ahsoka FX Elite lightsaber is the milestone gift — a metal hilt with a lit blade.
What is the difference between Black Series and Vintage Collection?
Black Series figures are six inches with modern articulation and detail. Vintage Collection figures are 3.75 inches on retro Kenner-style cardbacks, where collectors value the packaging as much as the figure — so do not open those.
Are the Star Wars Legends omnibuses worth buying?
For a long-time fan, yes. They collect the pre-Disney expanded universe in single hardcovers, and the newspaper strips omnibus in particular collects Al Williamson's early-80s dailies that almost nobody has read. Check they do not already own them at this price.
What is a good Star Wars gift under £20?
The Black Series Ahsoka Tano figure at £10.99 is genuinely good value for that line, and the Skeleton Crew pirate figure at £9.99 is recent enough that most collections will not have it yet.
