You may think I’m nuts (insert groan here) but I find these Star Wars nutcrackers rather adorable.

While these festive little guys are purely for decorative purposes they’ll bring a certain galactic quality to your holiday season. Featuring the Star Wars characters you love—Darth Vadar, R2-D2 and Yoda—this nutcracker set is perfect for any Star Wars fan. Heck, they’re so cute you may just want to leave them displayed all year long. Order these early though as, with Christmas coming fast, these figures will probably go fast.
“These are the nutcrackers handcrafted from hardwood to depict the iconic characters from the Star Wars movies: Darth Vader®, R2-D2®, and Yoda®. Darth Vader stands 10″ tall and is draped in a vinyl cape, capped by his signature black helmet. He holds his red lightsaber and is decorated with details including vinyl boots, his breathing apparatus, and chest control unit. R2-D2 stands 7″ tall displaying his handpainted circuitry; his anterior louvered vents conceal the “cracker.” Master Jedi Yoda stands 7 1/2″ tall with his walking stick and his humble burlap robe.â€

“This motorized replica of the headstrong little “droid” from the iconic Star Wars® films responds to voice commands, navigates rooms and hallways, and makes any home feel like it has been transported to a galaxy far, far away. R2 obeys more than 40 voice commands (”Turn around!” “Move forward two units!”) and he plays games like tag, using an infrared sensor to search for people in a room. His sensor helps him follow behind you, or it can be set to detect motion, turning R2 into a room sentry that sounds an alarm when a secured area is invaded. R2’s lights, swiveling dome top, and distinctive happy and sad sounds faithfully mimic the real thing, right down to his occasional “bad mood.” (A simple command of, “R2, behave yourself!” snaps him out of it.) R2 can also replay sounds and dialog from Star Wars. movies, answer yes-or-no questions, and dance while playing the famed cantina music.”
