Taking to the Facebook group Extreme Couponing & Bargains UK, run by money saving mum Holly Smith, one woman unveiled her impressive Darth Vader Christmas tree.

Working with a black faux fir as her base, the anonymous woman used the famous black mask worn by the character as a tree topper, and hung a cape down the back of the tree to create the silhouette.

She finished the tree with a selection of silver baubles and red fairy lights before adding a red light saber to the centre.

Captioning her post she wrote: Darth Vader Christmas tree that I made for my Star Wars OBSESSED husband. Mask and cloak from eBay.

Another had used blue and white decorations to transform their Christmas tree into R2D2

“Star Wars baubles from market place but you can buy from eBay or Amazon, lights from Aldi. Light saber from local toy store.

“He is absolutely thrilled with it. Cost me about £30.”

Her post received 1,000 likes and hundreds of comments with many fellow Star Wars fans showcasing their own intergalactic designs including several more Vaders.

"Don't be getting any ideas!" said another tagging her husband, with a third adding "Never happening no matter what."
