Cons: Details could be a little sharper
The Bottom Line:
Old meets new here as
We get an updated Luke
Draw for Star Wars fans
Luke is a Mysterious Figure
The new Star Wars movies have all us geeks buzzing as we
count down each year to the latest part of the sage from a long time ago in a
galaxy far, far away. It has also
breathed new life in Hallmark’s official Star Wars ornament line. Honestly, I think they were running out of
ways to feature the characters from the original trilogy, but now they can
feature the classic characters from the new movies. That’s what they’ve done with 2017’s Luke Skywalker.
This ornament features Luke from his brief cameo at the end
of The Force Awakens. Honestly, that is a bit of a surprise since
I’m sure he will be a much bigger presence in The Last Jedi, which opens this year. If it were me, I would have tied it into the
new movie. But that’s a minor issue.
Anyway, Luke is standing with his robe flowing behind
him. Yes, he’s uncovered his head, and
he is standing with his hands clasping each other. We can clearly see that one of his hands is
artificial. He’s mostly tans and whites,
with gray hair and goatee and that black artificial hand.
Like most of the ornaments in this series, it is that simple
since they usually focus on a character.
I really like this chance to get the classic characters updated for the
new movies. The detail on this one is
good. It doesn’t quite look like Mark
Hamill in his one scene, but it is a close enough likeness that anyone will
know who it is supposed to be by just looking at it.
Between Luke’s feet and his robe, there is plenty here for a
solid base, so this ornament stands very well on its own. You’ll also find the series marker on the
bottom. Hard to believe we are at number
21.
Of you can hang this ornament on your tree. The hook is on the back of Luke’s head, which
allows him to hang straight.
Fans of both the new movies and the original trilogy will
definitely want to pick up Luke Skywalker.
He’s been a hot seller at my local store, so obviously, there are a lot
of us out there who like this ornament.
