Musical Death Star Tree Topper: The Ultimate Power on the Christmas Tree

There’s nothing in the universe more festive than a glowing Death Star on Christmas Eve… unless you live on Alderaan, of course. This Hallmark Keepsake Star Wars Death Star Lighted Christmas Tree Topper is both festive and fearsome.

It is The Ultimate Power in the Living Room, and will crush any Christmas rebellion before it starts. It even plays the Imperial March and the classic Star Wars theme. You can select the lights and songs with the included remote control. Now all you need are some cool X-Wing and TIE Fighter ornaments so you can create the space battle from the movie right on your tree.

A super weapon on top of a Christmas tree? Yes, please. Though I wish it had a sound option for Grand Moff Tarkin ordering the troops to fire. Speaking of firing those super lasers, it would be cool if this thing shot lasers at anyone around the tree who gave you crap presents like socks and underwear. I wanted toys, dammit! Fire at will! I’m sure Santa will love going down your chimney to see this thing on top of your Christmas tree this year. Grab one today at ThinkGeek for $99.99.

Groot Tree Topper: Guardians of the Christmas Tree

Since Groot is a tree-like creature, it only makes sense to put him on top of another tree. He is the perfect Christmas tree topper. DeviantArt user witchcraftywolfen made this awesome Groot tree topper from some basic items. It really makes the entire tree look menacing.

Groot was made using a CD spool cover, foam, plastic eyes, Crayola Model Magic, pipe cleaners, and acrylic paint. It really looks amazing when you consider those supplies. And if you are going to have Groot, you have to have Rocket, so the artist also made a Rocket Raccoon plush to keep him company.

It looks so good. Too bad we can’t buy one. Maybe next year it will be ready for our trees. Or maybe if we water our Baby Groots

Death Star Tree Topper: Silent Night (on Alderaan)

Check out this sparkly Death Star tree topper. It makes for a very merry and geeky Christmas – unless, of course, you happen to live on Alderaan. This DIY Death Star puts the ultimate power in the universe at the top of your tree.

Basically, you just need some black acrylic paint, painter’s tape, glue, glitter, and a plastic round ornament thing. Your death-dealing space station will be fully operational after that – until an X-wing ornament on a lower branch flies up and gets a lucky shot at it.

Weeping Angel Tree Topper: Just Don’t Use Blinking Lights

Don’t blink. Don’t use lights that blink on your Christmas tree. Otherwise it is bound to be a very short holiday season for you if you have a weeping angel tree topper.

weeping angel tree topperArtist and crafter Cynthia posted a step-by-step tutorial on how to make your own weeping angel Christmas tree topper. It isn’t as difficult as you think, but it is dangerous. Basically you will be using a plastic water bottle, a Barbie doll, modeling clay, tape, glue, and paint.

However, bringing weeping angels into this reality could kill you. Remember, always work in a mirrored room so you can keep an eye on your creation. Make one for your tree if you want, but don’t say we didn’t warn you.
