Funko Pop! Chewbacca with Christmas Lights
We all know and love a Funko collector, and what better way to get into the holiday spirit than with a special holiday Chewbacca? Funko has released a series of holiday-themed Star Wars figures, including Santa Yoda, R2-D2 with antlers, and Darth Vader with a candy cane (the peppermint is strong with this one). Chewbacca struggling with fairy lights is our favorite, though, simply because it’s relatable. Detangling is hard for everyone, let alone if you’re covered in fur.
