Anyone who's dying to see 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' will be super chuffed to find some of this cool movie merch under the Christmas tree
LEGO DEATH STAR

AFRICAN ROBOTS SPACESHIPS
Made in Cape Town by artist Ralph Borland in collaboration with Zimbabwean wire artists, these wire-frame spaceships are a delightful South African interpretation of Star Wars's iconic space crafts. The TF01 and XW01 are priced at R1,000, and the MF01 at R1,500. Visit africanrobots.net
SPHERO R2-D2 ROBOT
At last someone has made a R2-D2 robot that not only works but doesn't cost half the movie's production budget.
It's easily controlled with a smartphone app, chirps like the real thing, is outrageously fun to play with, and is the best geek Christmas present this year.
It's priced at R3,000. Visit myistore.co.za
SUPERGA SHOES
Superga's taken inspiration from the movie's robot characters and helmeted baddies to create a cool range of sneakers.
The trainers, which are modeled after R2-D2, C-3PO, Darth Vader and a Stormtrooper, come in the appropriate colours.
They're priced at R1,200 per pair. Visit superga.co.za
