These are the gifts you're looking for. Some Star Wars gifts may seem unnecessary to those who aren't true fans, but every real Jedi needs these items. The best unnecessary Star Wars gifts will please even the most discerning Jedi knights.

The Jedi robe is a wardrobe staple for those who trust in the force, and of course don't want to get chilly after they've climbed out of the bath or shower. This one-size-fits-all dressing gown is made from 100 percent cotton, so not only is it soft, but it is super absorbent, meaning it won't let you freeze or overheat no matter if you're home is like Hoth or Tatooine. The dressing gown has a handy belt and everybody's favorite accessory, pockets!

What's cooler than brushing your teeth? Brushing your teeth with a Star Wars lightsaber toothbrush! You'll be rushing to go brush your teeth at night with these sitting above the bathroom sink. Each brush by Firefly has a timer, so it makes sure that you're taking enough time to take care and brush your teeth properly.

The lightsaber handle is ergonomic, making it really easy to grip onto, especially when you start practicing the whom, whom, vyoom noises in the mirror. It also flashes, so as you're making your own sound effects, it'll look like the real deal. The premium Dupont Tynex bristles are soft and round ended, which are great for those of us with soft or sensitive gums.

The lightsaber toothbrushes come in a variety of colors and styles, from Kylo Ren to Obi-Wan to even Yoda. With so many to choose from, it will be easy to find exactly what you are looking for.

One of the coolest, yet totally unnecessary Star Wars gifts has to be the Death Star Planetarium. Once you pop the hood off of the Death Star, it transforms into a glorious projector! It'll make you feel just like Obi-Wan in Attack of the Clones, showing off the star map to the younglings in the temple. Good times.

This tabletop planetary projector covers the walls and ceiling with planets from the Star Wars galaxy, so if you did ever want to pretend that you were in the middle of a heated battle in your X-Wing then you totally could. It's not just a galaxy far, far away that you get to see, the planetarium also projects the Earth's night sky.

BB-8 is more than just a mere toy, BB-8 is a companion who just so happens to be controlled by an app, and has to be one of the most amazing Star Wars gifts a fan could ever receive. This little droid was the star of The Force Awakens and he can be yours.

The Special Edition battle-worn BB-8 can be paired with the Force Band, meaning that with a little bit of practice, you too can have skill and mastery of a Jedi knight. You will be able to control this little astromech droid with a wave of your hand, with powers like Force Push and Force Pull. You can guide the little droid yourself, or it can explore all on its own. Who needs pets when you can have a droid, all the joy without any poop.

Some collaborations were just meant to be, Starsky and Hutch, Simon and Garfunkel, and of course LEGO and Star Wars. These Aren't The Droids You're Looking For is in the same vein as the Where's Waldo books, but set in the Star Wars universe, and you are searching for the mischievous little droid IG-88.

The search and find book is jam packed with a ton of Star Wars characters, all drawn in the cute LEGO style. This book is more than just finding the little droid. There are games of spot the difference, I-spy, and it is great for indoctrinating little humans into the world of Star Wars. This is a great gift for fans young and old.

This six piece planetary glassware set has individual designs for Dagobah, Tatooine, Hoth, Alderaan, Endor, and of course, the Death Star. These glass tumblers are the perfect gift for the subtle fan who loves Star Wars but is more comfortable drinking Wookie mocktails out of the Death Star than having a life-size model of Han Solo in Carbonite.

The glasses are durable quirky and best of all, dishwasher safe!

If you want to show your stove who's boss, this Darth Vader oven mitt is just the thing to harness the power of the dark side and make sure that you don't burn off your fingerprints every time you bake a batch of cookies.

This replica Darth Vader glove from the original Star Wars: A New Hope is made from heat resistant silicone that protects your hands from up to 445 degrees Fahrenheit. The mitt is flexible, durable and perfect for re-enacting a force Choke as you wait for your potatoes to finish roasting!

The last item on our list, the Chewbacca pillow buddy, is brilliant as it is the Swiss army knife of plushies. Made from polyester and in the gorgeous design of everyone's favorite wookie, Chewbacca. First of all it is a very cute decorative pillow, not that anyone ever actually needs decorative pillows, but they are fun to have.

Secondly, it is really useful as a nap time buddy, making it much easier to get little humans off to sleep, or even for the burliest of bounty hunters to have a cuddle after a long hard day chasing ruffians all over the galaxy.

The third and best use, is as a pillow. Seriously, it is perfect, it is soft and extremely comfy and who doesn't want to wake up with their head on a wookie every morning!?

There you have it, some of the best unnecessary gifts for the Star Wars fan. Some are useful, some are just for fun, but all of them will be appreciated by a lover of all things Star Wars, so go forth and may the force be with you.
