Techie gift ideas for the die hard Star Wars fan | #TechGiftGuides2015

Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Episode VII) will premier in theaters all over the world on December 18, 2015. Fans of the iconic movie franchise are already lining up outside theaters, and you can bet they come in full force, complete with their Star Wars gears and costumes.

If you know a die hard Star Wars fan and want to give them something they’ll truly appreciate, we have compiled some awesome gift ideas below.

BB-8 by Sphero

BB-8_by_SpheroWe saw the first teaser trailer in November of last year, and it was also the first time we saw BB-8. Thanks to connected toy maker Sphero, it is now available for purchase. BB-8 is an app-enabled Droid with an adaptive personality that changes the more the user plays with it.

Users can talk to control the device or use their smartphone or tablet to set it on patrol to explore the world on its own. Plus, it has a holographic communications feature that makes users feel like they’re a part of the Star Wars universe.

BB-8 by Sphero can be purchased for $149.99.

Death Star Bluetooth speaker

Death_Star_Bluetooth_SpeakerThe iHome Death Star Bluetooth speaker can wirelessly stream music up to 30 feet away from the source and is compatible with Bluetooth 1.1, 1.2, 2.0 and 2.1+EDR enabled devices. It has an auto-link button that facilitates fast Bluetooth setup, but it is also compatible with devices equipped with 3.5mm headphone jack.

The device is rechargeable, and each full charge can last up to eight hours. It has an LED light charging indicator, and it lights up when in use. It comes with an acrylic stand that makes it look like it’s floating, especially when the music is playing and the lights are dimmed or turned off. The only thing missing from it? The Concave Dish Composite Beam Superlaser.

The Death Star Bluetooth speaker is available for $59.99. Those who want a Bluetooth speaker that can also be used to take calls can opt for a Star Wars Episode VII Millennium Falcon, Tie Fighter or Star Destroyer BT Speaker or an R2-D2 Bluetooth Speakerphone for $49.99 each.
