Star Wars Black Friday deals top tips
Have some worries or questions before you search for gifts or Black Friday deals? Here are some tips we've got when looking for a Star Wars present.
When is the best time to buy a Star Wars gift?
If you need a Star Wars gift straight away, then we'd recommend just buying what you need now. However if you can hold off for several weeks then youll be able to save money.
That's because the end of the year brings a long sales season, of roughly 6 weeks, that'll bring plenty of discounts and Star Wars deals. Here's the calendar:
- Black Friday: Friday, November 24
- Cyber Monday: Monday, November 27
- Christmas sales: Through December
- Boxing Day sales (some countries): Tuesday, December 26
Black Friday and Cyber Monday will bring a wide variety of reasonable discounts, while Christmas and Boxing Day sales often see fewer products on sale, but at larger reductions.
What will the best Black Friday Star Wars deals be on?
Generally speaking, Black Friday works because different retailers compete to offer the best discounts. So, naturally, you'll see the best deals on products that are available across a range of stores.
A great example is Lego, with different stores offering varying prices off different sets to tempt you towards them. Items like DVDs and video games are also great for this.
Less likely to see sizeable discounts are products that are exclusive to certain stores, especially clothing and bespoke expensive gifts, and also older items that may well sell out early into the sales (or before they even start!).
Which Star Wars movie or TV show should I buy Black Friday deals from?
Different fans of Star Wars have different preferences regarding which of the movies or TV shows they enjoy most. Some only like the original trilogy, while others like the sequels or even prequels.
There are some Star Wars fans who love the new TV shows like Ahsoka and Andor, and others who don't (and some who haven't even watched them!). Then the rabbit hole goes deeper with various novels, comic books and video games that some Star Wars fans would love to receive (or receive gifts inspired by) and others wouldn't.
So how do you know which facets of the Star Wars universe your intended gift recipient likes? Easy — just ask! If that seems to overt, there are some gifts that will work on all fans, like gift vouchers or items inspired by the original trilogy.
What are the newest Star Wars gifts to buy?
The latest entry into the Star Wars universe is the TV show Ahsoka on Disney Plus, so anything inspired by that will be pretty recent. The third season of The Mandalorian and the second of The Bad Batch also released in 2023.
Some bigger manufacturers keep releasing new Star Wars products too with Lego, Funko and Hasbro frequently updating their lines, so if you want something new, look to these companies.
How to stay safe in the Black Friday Star Wars deals
