I love bringing this CD out during the holidays.. if you have never heard of it.. here is some info about it.

Christmas in the Stars: Star Wars Christmas Album is a record album produced in 1980 by RSO Records. It features recordings of Star Wars-themed Christmas songs and stories about a droid factory where the robots make toys year-round for "S. Claus".

Much of the album is sung and narrated by British actor Anthony Daniels, reprising his role as C-3PO from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Sound designer Ben Burtt also provided sound effects for R2-D2 and Chewbacca.

I found a few of the songs on you tube..

Here is something I didn't know.. R2D2 We whish you a Merry Christmas was sung by then unknown Jon Bon Jovi (it was his first professional song)

Here's another favorite from the album.. What do you get a Wookie for Christmas (when he already owns a comb).
