Star Wars Ornaments Bring a Triple Threat to the Holiday Tree
Elise Ying-Hei Ho — December 6, 2012 — Special
A planet of mass destruction is hitting Christmas this year as Etsy user MoL Gifts brings the elegant, yet all-powerful Star Wars ornaments to the holiday tree.
Shaped like the destructive Death Star, MoL Gifts' Star Wars ornaments are hand-painted in a beautiful matte gold with a hand-curled wire. Although these geeky sci-fi orbs seem a little extravagant for the holidays, the ornaments are actually simple Death Star toys that have been carefully converted by the Etsy user. Despite the fact that the Death Star has the ability to incinerate a planet with a single blow, this set of Star Wars ornaments comes in a set of three, making this holiday decoration a triple threat.
