Although I have used the the Dainty Bow Bangle (590724CZ), this design would work on any version of the Pandora Moments Bangle (590713). The 1st October was an epic day for Pandora fans across the galaxy as the long awaited Star Wars x Pandora Collection was released! I think the helmet motif works well as a charm which is why I would like to see a Mandalorian helmet or Boba Fett’s helmet as a charm in the future. The branded Star Wars logo that we grew up with adorns the clasp of the iconic Pandora Moments Snake Chain Bracelet. All three charms have matching bales which are decorated with lightsaber blue cubic zirconia stones set into pretty starbursts.

The Star Wars x Pandora R2-D2 Dangle (799248C01) hangs at the centre of the bangle with four Murano charms scattered around him. Artoo’s industrial and metallic style is achieved using a combination of the Ribbed (790163), Lace Floral (791011), Clear Sparkling Row (791972CZ) and Clear Pavé (791817CZ) Clips.

is not a movie quote but perhaps a references to the fact that Leia escaped and helped organise the destruction of the Death Star and her captor Moff Tarkin. While not part of the much loved original trilogy of films, I have long said the BB-8 is wonderfully suited to being made into a Pandora Charm. This is a beautiful charm, and although I have complained about the amount of Button charms that Disney have pushed out, this one is thoughtfully and beautifully presented. The cultural phenomenon of the the last 12 months “Baby Yoda” has featured on thousands of Memes and is a global superstar in his own right.We were first introduced to Lightsabers in the original Star Wars film: “Your Father’s Lightsaber, this the weapon of a Jedi Knight. He’s Perfect” is what Padmé Amindala said when she first set eyes on C-3PO and I think Queen Amidala would be very impressed with the Pandora Shine version of C-3PO. This little droid came to symbolise dependability and loyalty, first to Anakin, then to Luke and later to Poe Dameron. The fact that the eponymous Mandalorian does not get a Pandora charm but The Child does shows his star status (Pretty please Pandora can we also have a Mandalorian helmet next time).

You could say that the narrative actually revolves around them as they are always present during the action. For the uninitiated, his name is not Yoda and he is approximately 50 years old and is referred in the Disney+ series The Mandalorian as The Child.Referred to as a walking carpet, flea-bitten fur ball, hairy beast and a fuzzball I think Chewie is my favourite character charm from this capsule collection. Other details such as his power recharge coupler and heat exhaust are beautifully emphasised in dark oxidisation. The Star Wars Logo Charm is also available in silver and black enamel for those who prefer a more monochrome look. Again, the scale has been played around with here so that the Lightsabers are not too spindly and thin, the ends of them seem to be lopped off.
