Ready to treat yourself or a loved one to some 'Star Wars' Christmas goodies? You are about to be very happy, when you realize quite what is in your world today.
The fabulous, the cheesy, the wow factor and the twee, we have them all arrayed for your expert perusal. Though, in fairness, it's mostly the cheesy.
If you, or anyone in your household, deserves 'Star Wars' presents then you do not want to miss out. Make mine a talking Yoda stocking please.

Yes, this really did happen! You are awake.
In 1980, when only A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back had been unleashed on the world, George Lucas commissioned a Yale University music professor to do this to us.
Professor Maury Yeston led stars like Anthony Daniels (C3PO) in this festive musical extravaganza.
But here's a hidden gem too. Check out the second of the two YouTube videos on the right hand side. Both have tracks from the Star Wars carol chorus, only hindsight has elevated this one even more.
The teenager enthusiastically taking the role of R2D2 was Jon Bongiovi, a local schoolboy.
We know him better as Jon Bon Jovi. This IS his musical debut and first release!

There you are, off to the Christmas party, and the weight of tradition demands a festive hat. Reindeer antlers? Bauble bopper headband? Elf ears?
No! You have geek credentials to maintain here! Have a few standards, please!
It's a Santa Hat with Yoda Ears all the way. It couldn't possibly be anything else, if you search your soul and use the Force for answers. Bendable Yoda ears, in festive head attire. Nothing else will do.

Kurt S. Adler is really on a roll this Christmas. His company has brought out more Star Wars inspired festive sundries than even I thought was possible.
Yet this lot take the walnut. They really do. And the brazil nuts, the hazelnuts, the almonds, pecans and chestnuts too. They crack the whole lot open, for that handy munchie fest in front of the television.
Ranging from 7" high (R2D2) to 11" (Stormtrooper), these look good as standing ornaments, though with that practical and useful side to them too. The consensus is that they all look better than in the pictures.
It's not just those highlighted above in the Star Wars collection. You can get Yoda and a Clone Trooper too. No doubt more are on the way!
What happened when the Magi bumped into a Jedi Master on the way to see Jesus?
Well, apparently no-one checked for a wormhole, time machine or any other appliance that would allow this to occur. Instead they all posed for Tim Elliot to draw a cartoon marking the occasion.
When you think about it, the Jedi really do quite look like the Three Wise Men. At least they do as they're most commonly rendered.
Now you too can place Jedi at the Nativity on your Christmas quilt. Now all that you have to do is establish a tradition of sewing a Christmas quilt.

If you are going to treat your nerd loved ones to some goodies on this page, you're going to need something to wrap your presents in.
That's where the Star Wars Gift Wrap comes in, all 15 square feet of it! But there's more.
Three different Yoda stockings exist to hang from your bed or mantlepiece. Each awaiting a visit from Father Christmas with some lovely intergalactic gifts.
The first of them is the one which boasts all of the bells and whistles, or, to be precise, a button to press for Yoda voice messages.
That randomly chooses from the following famous phrases: "Use the force", "Do or do not, there is no try", and "Judge me by my size do you?"
It is topped by a plastic Yoda head, while the plush stocking itself is 22" long and 7" wide. That would do for me. Thanks!
(As an alternative, there's the Darth Vader Christmas stocking from the same company.)
The second is a Yoda head Christmas stocking based on Star Wars: The Clone Wars. But with very little information for me to tell you about it. Which is pretty much everything I could also say about the third!
