On A Budget: No Star Wars fan’s home is complete without a Funko Pop. It doesn’t matter if you buy one she already has. As the Sith says, it’s a “rule of two” for collectibles. One to open and play with, and one to wrap in bubble wrap and keep out of sunlight in case it becomes valuable. The Star Wars Valentine’s Day Funko Pop is perfect if you are on a budget but still want all the romance. The whole range is around $12 and includes Kylo Ren and Princess Leia holding a heart-shaped box of chocolates.

On A Budget: So obviously she wants to watch Star Wars. But out of the twelve movies, eight animated series, four live-action series, and various shorts, which is the best to get the love of your life (or love of the week) in the mood? Who needs The Notebook when you have the doomed romance that is Satine and Obi-Wan? You can stream them all on Disney Plus. If you want to really impress her, pick up a portable mini projector so she can watch Darth Maul murder the love of Obi-Wan’s life in cinematic glory. Add in matching Grogu onesies and some tissues and she’ll like putty in your hands.

Obviously, it is a two-night Galactic Starcruiser experience at Walt Disney World. The hotel is based on the Halcyon from the novel Star Wars: The Princess and The Scoundrel, which was the luxury ship where Princess Leia and Han Solo spent their honeymoon.

The Gift

On A Budget: Keeping with the theme of Kessel’s most famous couple, if you are partnered with a Star Wars girl then it’s best to cover all your bases, including the Legends. Dan Wolverton’s Legends novel The Courtship of Princess Leia is reasonably cheap to pick up online and tells the original tale of how Han eventually won the hand of the princess. It is also the first time Dathomir makes an appearance. If your girl isn’t a big reader, There is also an audiobook version available on Audible.

Unlimited Budget: One of the rarest collectibles in the Star Wars universe, The Courtship of Princess Leia Micro Machines Epic Collection VI set was only released in Japan. If you manage to find it, it will only set you back approximately $600 (based on the most recent eBay listing). The Micro Machines collection contains rare figures based on the novel. Not only does it say you respect her massive stash of collectibles (that may take over the house), but also that you will go the extra mile for her love.
We hope this has given you some great ideas to treat your date on Valentine’s Day. Because if your girl is a Star Wars fan, then not only is she a “keeper” but just like Carrie Fisher, she’ll be a fighter. So treat her like the princess she is or you’ll end up in the sarlacc pit.
