If you want to take home the ultimate Star Wars souvenir then the market at Black Spire Outpost has plenty of shops and stalls to spend at.

Savi's Workshop Handbuilt Lightsabers is where you can pick up your own custom built lightsaber. You choose the kyber crystal that sits at the core of your weapon. The store's employees are known as "The Gatherers" who will take you on a "guided tour" of the workshop.

The Droid Depot allows you to take home your very own droid. You can grab parts from the moving conveyer belt and put together your own BB (like BB8) or R-series such as R2-D2) droid. There are even personality chips that you can put into your droid to allow it to come to life and interact with the land around you.

The gifts at Toydarian Toyshop are designed to look like those seen in the movies. This particular stall is run by a Toydarian, one of the winged aliens that you may remember from Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace.

If you're ideal souvenir is a unique item from your travels, then Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities is the store for you. Dok-Ondar can be found behind his desk and will calls orders out to his staff. His store is filled with rare items and collectables that you can take home. Why not leave with a Holocron or perhaps a lightsaber once owned by a famous Jedi or Sith Lord?

If the above concept art is anything to go by, this store is going to be filled with not only with plenty of things to purchase but also some incredible artefacts. Entertainment Weekly confirmed that we should look out for a Wampa, a huge aquarium and even the creepy eye ball creature from the Trash Compactor in Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope.

For those wanting to go away with some new clothes then Resistance Supply or First Order Cargo will fit you with unique clothing, hats, pins and more.

The merchandise at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is going to make you wish you'd brought an extra suitcase with you so you can take it all home with you.
