From starships to battle stations, and from Ewoks to Wookies, there's a wide range of offerings that can be confusing to the uninitiated.

Below, you'll find some of the most popular and impressive offerings of the Star Wars Lego sets. To help you find the right gift, we've divided them into price categories. Note that for some of these, price may change without warning as scarce products become collectible items, and some already are considered collectibles.

Gifts for a Junior Jedi (Under $40)
Young padawans looking to get their feet wet in the Lego Star Wars tradition need look no further. Since you're just starting out, take a look at these Star Wars Legos starting under $40.

Use the Force to defend Naboo in your very own Lego Star Wars Naboo N-1 Starfighter, an exciting addition to any Star Wars fleet. It includes Anakin, a pilot, and R2D2. Use the N-1 to battle the enemy Vulture Droid starship, a sleek ship included in the package. Need help from Clone troopers? The Lego Star Wars AT-AP Podwalker should do the trick. This all-terrain podwalker includes a rotating cannon and two Clone troopers that a Jedi can command while battling the Separatists' Droid army. Later on, when the Clones switch sides and become Storm Troopers, you might need the Lego Star Wars Rebel Scout Speeder. With four Rebel mini-figures and a rotating turret, it's sure to engage a young Jedi in hours of fun battling the evil Empire.

Gifts for Jedi-in-Training ($40- $100)
You're not quite ready to take on the Emperor, but you're learning. Yoda and Obi-Wan approve of your progress. Practice your new Jedi skills with one of these sets for under $100.

Traverse the galaxy on the Republic Cruiser, featured in The Phantom Menace as the transport of the Jedi. You'll need it if you encounter the Lego Star Wars Trade Federation MTT transport vehicle, which deploys 20 droids from its hidden storage rack. Or, unleash the dark side of the Force with the Rogue Shadow, which has rotating wings, a hidden missile that's fired by the touch of a lever, and three minifigures: an Imperial pilot, Darth Vader's apprentice, and battle-scarred Vader himself.

Lego Star DestroyerNeed a worthy foe on the dark side? The fearsome Lego Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer is nearly two feet long and includes multiple figures, among them Darth Vader and Grand Moff Tarkin. The hologram of the Emperor, detachable escape pod and turbo laser cannons make it a perfect set for passionate Star Wars collectors.

For Return of the Jedi fans, the Lego Star Wars Ewok Attack is a must. It includes a catapult and a hang glider for the Ewoks, plus a speeder bike complete with Imperial scout. Lego Star Wars products featuring Ewoks are scarce, and this set is a sure delight. For enacting more chase scenes, the Lego Star Wars Speeder Bikes set includes two Storm Troopers and their bikes, plus Luke Skywalker ready to fight them.

Gifts for a Jedi Master (Over $100)
You've attained the level of a Jedi Master. Ready to save the galaxy? These Lego sets for $100 and over are sure to help you rise to the challenge.

Lego Star Wars Death Star II Without a doubt, the flagship of the Star Wars Lego fleet is the Millennium Falcon. Almost three feet in length, it is the largest Lego set ever produced. Built to scale with the Lego minifigures it includes, it is an ideal display model; its landing gear functions as a stable base. The Lego Star Wars X-Wing Fighter rivals the Millennium Falcon in popularity and recognizability. For a classic space battle, the Tie Fighter with Y-Wing set offers two durable ships for skirmish after skirmish. Enhance space battles with an exact replica of the Death Star II, with clear yellow-green laser beams and tractor beam elements. Need a fast ship or an experienced bounty hunter? Jango and Boba Fett minifigures ride aboard the Lego Star Wars Jango Fett Slave I starship, used to transport Han Solo in The Empire Strikes Back.

For Clone Wars fans, the Lego Star Wars Clone Turbo Tank comes with several minifigures, including Mace Windu with a light-up saber. For Revenge of the Sith fans, the name says it all: the Lego Star Wars Ultimate Lightsaber Duel features Anakin and Obi-Wan, each with sabers that actually light up, as well as a cool-looking set to stage the action.

Lego Star Wars: Final Duel Darth Vadar and EmperorLego sets enable a Jedi to reenact classic scenes from the original movies as well. Remember the Battle of Hoth from The Empire Strikes Back? Use the classic Lego Star Wars Rebel Snowspeeder to re-create it. Later, you'll want to have access to the Lego Star Wars Cloud City model, which comes complete with multiple figures (including Lando Calrissian) and the carbonation chamber where Han is imprisoned. The Lego Star Wars Mos Eisley Cantina set features a cafe booth, a landspeeder, five minifigures, and a secret compartment for Luke's lightsaber. Alternatively, build your own droids with the Lego Star Wars R2-D2 and C3PO Droid Collector's Set, truly a collector's item.

In addition to the building sets themselves, you can get Lego Star Wars games for both Xbox and Nintendo, including the Lego Star Wars II (an upgrade of Star Wars I) filled with action-packed kid-friendly adventure. The Lego Star Wars Complete Saga allows you to be any hero or any villain, and if you have a Wii, you can use the remote to wield your lightsaber. What more could a Jedi ask?
