    Let the Wookiee win.

    It’s apparently already time to start thinking about more than just your Halloween decor. Hallmark’s 2025 lineup of Keepsake collectibles includes a $99.99 Star Wars ornament recreating the scene aboard the Millennium Falcon where R2-D2 and Chewbacca play a game of Dejarik.

    The ornament includes lights, sounds from the movie, and what appears to be a simple Pepper’s Ghost illusion that uses a hidden screen and a transparent surface to recreate the holochess effect.

    <em>Pressing a button on the ornament activates lighting effects, turns on the Dejarik game, and plays sounds from the scene in </em>Star Wars.
