2020 Collection: Star Wars
In celebration of Star Wars Day, May the Fourth, here is a review of the Star Wars ornaments included in the 2020 Keepsake Ornament line.
Sci-Fi
Miniature Ornaments and Accessories
NOTE: Star Wars Day, May 4, celebrates George Lucas’ Star Wars.
The date was chosen for the pun on the catchphrase “May the Force be with you” as “May the Fourth be with you”. Even though the holiday was not created or declared by Lucasfilm, many Star Wars fans across the world have chosen to celebrate the holiday. It has since been embraced by Lucasfilm and parent company Disney as an annual celebration of Star Wars.
Ornament Spotlight: STAR TREK™ Storytellers
Out of This World
From the final frontier come the first ornaments in our Star TrekTM Storytellers series.
Television’s most famous space explorers will be warping onto your tree this year. For our first release, with two more years of ornaments planned, you can have Lieutenant Nyota Uhura, Captain James T. Kirk and mirror universe Hikaru Sulu transported to your home and ready to perform with their coordinated light and sound shows.
Using audio clips from the original Star TrekTM series, the Enterprise crew recreates famous moments from the iconic 1967 episode “Mirror, Mirror.” Stuck in a parallel universe with evil versions of themselves, can the team make it back home?
In addition to interacting with each other and performing by themselves, each Storytellers ornament also creates scenes with the U.S.S. Enterprise Tree Topper. With four more characters planned after this year, you can relive fantastic Star TrekTM memories for years to come.

Ornament Spotlight: Disney Fantasia
Still Magical After 80 Years
Lifelong Disney fan and Keepsake Artist Ken Crow adds magic of his own to a Mickey classic.
Combining his love for Disney with the timeless wonder of “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice,” Ken set out to make an ornament as magical as the classic Fantasia vignette from 1940, creating a living scene from the movie that has just as much personality as the animated characters in it.
“If an ornament looks predictable and acts like a machine, then that’s what people will think it is. And that’s not all that magical,” he explains. “But the ornament’s brooms all have this jiggle that makes them look like they’re lifting the buckets as they hop up the stairs. And Mickey really does look like he’ reaching to direct everything. I’m really, really happy with how everything turned out.”
With a press of a button, watch the enchanted brooms go about their work, carrying buckets of water up the steps to music from the animated short, while a coordinated light show immerses you in the ornament’s fantastical scene.
