Christmas Countdown - 4: May the 4th Be With You

I just can't pass The Movie premiere this Xmas season. And with all the buzz you may consider inviting a certain Force into your decor this season.

4. Felt it.

Felt is versatile we know that. Why not put it to good use.

Luckily, some generous geeks have chosen to share their patterns.

3. Or paper it

If you are into papier-mâché, these are amazing.

Unfortunately, I could not find a tutorial online, but my guess is any pinata technique with a dash of artistic flare will work.

And can you really make a Yoda by just folding paper? Now you have to be an origami god to create this surely.

For those of us less skilled, paper snowflakes with a touch of Vader.

Well, at least this one comes with a tutorial.

2. Paint it 

Baubles turn into amazing duo of robots.

I will quietly admit that these are my favourite Star Wars characters, closely followed by the ewoks.

Or a complete set of characters for that matter, made with someone with unholy wielding of the brush.

And this one left me speechless.

Comes with a handy tutorial too.

1. Lego it. 

Simple as that. You are buying the Lego Star Wars series anyway,

or 

Check out the Chris McVeigh building guides, get your Lego out and start building those with your kids.

There you have it, a geeky, shiny, starwarsy Xmas.
