May the force be with your father - at least in form of these cool Star Wars gifts for dad! Some of them are extremely geeky, some are much more discreet, but all of them would be highly appreciated by any dad who loves Star Wars.
Tips to remember
Remember that if you are not really familiar with the Star Wars legacy or aren't sure what exactly your dad loves about it, giving a SW-related gift will be a somewhat risky idea.
For example, some dad are nuts about the first three movies (episodes 4-6) but think that everything that was aired AFTER that is pure trash so you'll be walking through a minefield in this matter.
In other words, although a Star Wars gift may be a great idea for your dad in general, invest some time in researching the matter a bit. What exactly your dad loves about it? What are his favorite characters and what characters he hates? All of these questions are extremely important.

BB-8 Droid USB Car Charger
When you're stuck in the Goazon Badlands, it's best to keep all your devices charged. You never know when the sand's going to threaten to eat you up, and you'll need to consult Google Maps for the closest source of water.
Fortunately, you've got the Star Wars BB-8 USB Car Charger by your side. This little BB-8 unit fits right into the droid socket in your T-70 X-wing. And, in case your X-wing is in the shop, it also fits in a standard cupholder and plugs into your 12V vehicle power adapter (cigarette lighter). The head rotates and makes sound, but more importantly, it comes with 2 2.1A USB charging ports, which will get your devices back to normal in no time. It looks like it might have been rolling across the sands of Jakku before it made it to you, so be sure to get that map into the right hands.

Lightsaber Umbrella
Beyond the Outer Rim, spins a stormy planet.
Long, long ago, climate change led to all the continents being submerged - forcing the inhabitants to build cities on stilts.
The planet is, of course, known (by the few who know) as Kamino.
Apart from always being rainy, it's a place famous for two exports: clones and Lightsaber Umbrellas.
While we can't sell you any clones (it is against Republic Law), but we sure can sell you the 'brellas'!
