Star Wars Christmas Tree Decorations

For sheer quantity, the best of the pack is undoubtedly this lot. 

Based solely on the original three Star Wars movies, you get to arrange your own scenes, as played out on the boughs of your Christmas tree. 

Create the ultimate stand-off between Stormtroopers and Sand-people.  Place Return of the Jedi era Luke Skywalker alongside A New Hope era Han Solo.  Pit them both against 4-LOM.

The possibilities are so endless here. Forget buying them for the kids, these are decorations for adults to play with!

The shatterproof design means that these Star Wars figure tree ornaments will last for many Christmases to come. 

Of course, not everyone is as old or mistily-eyed nostalgic as me.  When you think Star Wars at Christmas, then young Anakin and Jar Jar Binks are going to feature in the equation.

Never fear!  There are ornaments for your tree too!

Look at their little faces and, let's be honest here, who wouldn't want a Sith Lord staring back at them over their Christmas dinners?  Ignore your great-auntie.  What does she know?

It seriously never occurred to me before that Queen Amidala is already dressed in quasi-festive coloring.  She only needs to add a bit of green and the ensemble would be complete.

This stately monarch always had more than a touch of ornamentation about her attire.  Therefore it's hardly surprising that someone's stuck a piece of gold cord in her head and hung her on a tree.

Not the real Queen Amidala obviously. That would be awful.  But a 4.5" decorative, porcelain version of her anyway.

Need something a little more cutesie for the little ones around you? How about a Star Wars robot rendered as a sweet teddy bear?

A beautifully painted, plastic ornament - not necessarily for a tree, you can hang it from your PC or central car mirror if you like!  But here it is in its festive incarnation.

Joy United have only just begun with this range, but it's going to be a whole collection of them. However, I'm wondering how limited edition they're likely to be. When I first published this Star Wars Christmas decoration article, there were Stormtrooper and Darth Vader bear ornaments too. In the two year interim, both have become unavailable.

It might be worth grabbing the Star Wars Robot Bear as a potential collector's item.

There are hundreds of these, depicting just about every Star Wars character (or groups of characters) that you care to name.

In fact, I've just amused myself doing just that.  I flicked through trying to beat Hallmark by thinking up anyone that they had missed out.  It ended 7-1 to Hallmark.  (They hadn't made Jabba.)

The Keepsake Star Wars collection is precisely what the name would imply. Each year, since about the Stone Age, Hallmark has been producing more for this range. Some of the earliest ones are worth much more than their original recommended retail price now.  When a limited edition is added, the ornament becomes quite rare, once it's withdrawn.

With that in mind, you won't want to purchase one of these to chuck around the baby's play pen. They are quite delicate items.  If you take them out of the box (which you should, otherwise what's the point?), then the topmost tree branches are probably best.  Stop visitors mauling them.

As I said, there are so many that I couldn't possibly show you them all here.  I've chosen a few to represent the whole; and hopefully demonstrate the diversity in the Star Wars range.

I particularly like the fact that you can get the Max Rebo Band!  That pleases me, because they're so often overlooked in any other sets in the franchise. Let's stick some of their music on, while I finish telling you about these ornaments.

Enjoy your intergalactic Star Wars holiday decorations!  And season's greetings from everybody here at Wizzley!
