Star Wars Bedding

I have very fond memories of my childhood especially my star wars decorated bedroom including the Star Wars bedding. If you are over the age of 30 and have no idea what I’m talking about then you missed something special during your childhood, it’s not too late! For those that do know what I’m talking about then you will remember well all those star wars bed sets depicting heroic Luke’s, Leia’s and Wookiees against puffy white space-scapes, great memories.
Although Star Wars is still popular and many of the figures, weapons and vehicles are still on sale, it isn’t as popular as it was in my childhood. Maybe the reason for this is that there are so many other heroic figures to collect now, from TMNT to Indian Jones, in fact the more I think about it when Star Wars was released all those years ago there was nothing else to take away my attention.
All grown up and with children of my own I feel it is my job as a parent to not only educate my children in the ways of the force but to make sure they have a great childhood like I had. With the release of Star Wars Clone Wars getting my kids into the original movies wasn’t that hard but trying to create a full Star Wars bedroom wasn’t going to happen as long as our boy and girl shared a room. Jump a few years on and a bigger house now is the time to get my boy’s room all done up like my old bedroom.
It is a real nostalgic trip buying all the star wars stuff again from lampshades to wallpaper to star wars rugs. The original Star Wars bedding I had travelled with me for a few years and found new life in my first own place. It didn’t last long there however as it was very soon apparent that bringing girls home to Star Wars bedding wasn’t good. So we had to buy our boy a new Star Wars bedding set as mine had long been replaced with boring patterns.
The choice of characters on the Star Wars bedding in my day was a bit limited but getting any of the characters on the sheets these days is easily done with all the popular characters we love, Yoda, C-3 PO, Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader to mention just a few. Before you rush off however and buy Star Wars bedding for your kid make sure you know if they follow the either the dark side or the hero side, just because I liked Darth Vader doesn’t mean my boy did.
Obviously we had to get more than one set of bedding so this gave us the opportunity that I never had and that was to own 2 sets of star wars bedding, a set from both sides of the fight. We had Luke Skywalker set and a Darth Vader bedding set. For me that was an easy decision but with others on offer like Yoda and C-3 PO there are a great many ways to go, especially since they are available with different coloured backgrounds to fit into and bedroom decor.
So if you remember the Star Wars (or feel you missed out on something in your childhood) there’s nothing better than to decorate your child’s bedroom in a theme that helps both of you dream about saving the galaxy with Star Wars bedding.
