Star Wars gifts for everyone on your shopping list

By

Star Wars is a franchise that’s popular with children young and old. This Black Friday there are a lot of deals to be had on Star Wars toys, some deals that are likely to extend into Cyber Monday as well. From a Mr. Potato Head that bears a striking resemblance to Yoda to a Lego set that will allow you to build you’re own Millennium Falcon, here are some of our top picks for Star Wars too this holiday season:

littleBits Star Wars Droid Inventor Kit – $80

The amateur inventor in your house will love LittleBits Star Wars Droid Inventor Kit. The kit allows kids (and adults) to build their own R2D2 using electronic blocks and then control their droid using a phone app. The finished droid is capable of playing 20 authentic sounds from the Star Wars movies and the app includes over 22 activities and missions so your creation is fun to play with long after you’re done building it.

Sphero BB-9E App-Enabled Droid

 – $78

Related

Expand your droid collection with the Sphero App-Enabled BB-9E. Property of the First Order, the droid can be controlled using your smartphone or tablet. Even better, it can watch the Star Wars films with you and react in real-time to what’s happening on the screen. If you happen to also own another Sphero droid, the App-Enabled BB-9E can also interact with it for a droid-to-droid experience.

Lego Star Wars Millennium Falcon

 – $170

Build your own Millennium Falcon from Legos with this 1,414-piece kit. The Lego version of the starship includes a two-minifigure cockpit with detachable cannon, two spring-loaded shooters, and a detachable escape craft. The kits also include a number of characters from the film, including Han Solo, Chewbacca, Qi’ra, Lando Calrissian, Quay Tolsite, a Kessel Operations Droid, and a DD-BD droid.

Star Wars Armada: Core Set Strategy Board

 – $64

The Star Wars Armada Core Set includes everything you need to get started playing the game including three pre-painted capital ship miniatures (Victory-class Star Destroyer, Nebulon-B frigate, CR90 Corellian corvette), 10 unpainted fighter squadrons, nine attack dice, six command dials, a range ruler, and more than 130 cards and tokens. The strategy game is designed with players 14 and older in mind.

Pop Taters Mr. Potato Head Star Wars Yoda

 – $30

What’s better than a Mr. Potato Head? How about a Mr. Potato Head that looks like Yoda? Just like a traditional Mr.Potato Head, the figure’s body parts can be removed and replaced however you like for a fun play experience. Parts can also be mixed and matched with other Mr. Potato Head toys.

How to revive dead companions in Baldur’s Gate 3
Withers offering services to the player in Baldur's Gate 3.

You're given a good bit of leeway during battles in Baldur's Gate 3 before you or a companion actually bites the dust for good. While in battle, if a teammate does take enough damage to drop, they aren't dead then and there. Instead, they will be downed with a chance to roll every turn to get back up. If they roll successfully three times, the battle ends, or you use another character to pick them up, they're good. If they fail that roll three times, however, they will be completely dead. That can be harsh when you've become attached to certain characters and want to further their stories, so you'll be looking for any way you can to bring them back. Thankfully you do have a few options for reviving companions in Baldur's Gate 3, but just like respeccing, they aren't so obvious.
Pay Withers to bring them back

Withers is a friendly undead you can find in a secret room in the Dank Crypt found inside the Overgrown Ruins. After finding and speaking to him in his sarcophagus, he will offer you various services, one of which is bringing back any dead companions. He won't do this out of the kindness of his heart (probably because it isn't beating) and will charge you a heavy fine of 200 gold to do so. Still, that's a small price to pay to bring back a beloved character. Once paid, that character will appear in your camp where they would normally be, so there's no need to go back to their corpse and find them.

Every video game delay that has happened in 2023 so far
The player skates toward the moon in Skate Story.

Few things feel as inevitable in the video game industry as delays. Ever since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, game delays have only become more and more common as developers find previously set timelines unrealistic and adjust their release plans accordingly. More than halfway through 2023, we've already seen some notable AAA games like Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Skull & Bones, and Pragmata delayed pretty heavily. Because video game release date delays are so common, it can be tough to keep track of every game that has had its launch date shifted in some way.
That's why, just as we did in 2021 and 2022, Digital Trends is rounding up every game delay that's announced throughout 2023. Here are the high-profile ones that have happened so far, listed chronologically by their new intended release dates.
The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR (March 16)

As Until Dawn: Rush of Blood is one of the best games for PlayStation VR, The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR, Supermassive Games' PlayStation VR2 successor, is a highly anticipated launch title for the upcoming VR headset. Unfortunately, it will no longer make PlayStation VR2's February 22 launch and will instead be released on March 16. On Twitter, a message from Supermassive Games says this delay will ensure that players "receive the most polished, terrifying experience possible" at release. The game was released on that date to mixed reviews.
Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key (March 24)

Is Remnant 2 cross-platform?
Three characters shoot at a boss in Remnant 2.

Aside from the focus on firearms and integrating some randomly generated environments, the Remnant series sets itself apart from other souls-like games mainly with its focus on co-op. Both titles encourage you to team up with two friends to fight your way through the mutated monsters that await. After so many years of progress in terms of multiplatform games incorporating full cross-platform support, you might assume Remnant 2 will follow suit and let you make a group with anyone regardless of what platform they're on. However, the truth may be a bit more disappointing. Before you make plans with your squad, here's what you need to know about Remnant 2's cross-platform support.
Is Remnant 2 cross-platform?

Unfortunately, Remnant 2 does not have cross-platform play between PS5, Xbox Series X or PC -- and there's no word about it being added in the future.
