Star Wars and holiday cards seem to go together like peanut butter and chocolate. These designs by Preacher stand apart though. The cards were commissioned, and they blend the ships from the galaxy far, far away with snowflakes. The result is charming.
Check out designs featuring X-wings and Y-wings after the break.
Just in time for Christmas, Sheep Creek Needlecraft is selling 100% hand needle felted wool Star Wars ornaments which include the TIE Fighter, X-Wing, Millennium Falcon, and of course, Yoda. Hit the jump to check out some additional photos.
In what will likely be viewed as either the cooest thing ever or sacrilege of the highest order, Raphael Heusser created this LEGO mashup between the Millennium Falcon and Lightning McQueen. Before you decide how you feel, check out the additional photos after the break.
If you are familiar with the 10179 Ultimate Collectors edition of the Millennium Falcon, you’ll know that it is one of the biggest sets LEGO ever produced at 33″(84 cm) long by 22″(56 cm) wide and 8.3″(21 cm) tall with over 5000 pieces.
Star Wars fan David Wagner conquered that demanding build, but then he went a step further and built a highly detailed docking bay for the ship complete with LEDs. Check out additional images after the break.
Matheson Harris has amassed an impressive collection of Star Wars spaceships including the Millennium Falcon, Star Destroyer, Tie Fighter and even an AT-AT – the most interesting part however, is that they were all fashioned from cardboard. As impressive as the works are, Matheson takes an understated approach:
Hot glue, cardboard, sharpie, a few sucker sticks and ping pong balls = garbage armada

Check out the video after the break to watch Joe Coulston conquer the LEGO Millennium Falcon (7965) In stop-motion, time-lapse format.
The quality of the build is verified by the fact that no little pieces were left over.
Technically, this custom coffee table from R9 is called the “70s Falcon” to dodge LucasFilm lawyers, but the guy that purchased it is probably wearing a Han Solo costume while admiring the bronze centerpiece at this very moment. The Millennium Falcon bronze also features a retro wood-grain veneer that ties into the base.
This appears to be a one-off item, but we would hope that another could be commissioned for the right price.
Swedish treasure hunters recently spotted a 60-foot disc at the bottom of the ocean with what appears to be a long impact trail trailing behind it. Naturally, this has lead many on the internet to jump right to the conclusion that the object is, in fact, a UFO.
Or the Millennium Falcon.
Exploration leader Peter Lindberg noted that the object was unlike anything he had ever seen in his 18-years as a professional ocean explorer. Despite this, Lindberg claims that his team will not investigate the disc because, as MSNBC puts it, they have “neither the interest nor the resources” to explore something that could wind up being nothing. Still, he speculated that the object could be “a new Stonehenge”—which I have to imagine would be potentially more valuable than any other treasure they could be digging up down there.
Either way, you can bet that someone will be curious enough to take a closer look. Until then, let the conspiracy theories commence. Check out a short video on the find after the break.
We hate to get your hopes up, but it appears that this Millennium Falcon Beanbag chair is a one-off item created by Woouf! to promote Star Wars-themed Adidas sneakers at last year’s Sónar Festival.
It measures around 8.5 parsec…I mean 8.5-feet long and it looks super comfortable. Why these chairs aren’t for sale is a mystery since they would undoubtedly be a big seller at almost any price.
