So you can't fly, sit or even sleep in the [Millennium Falcon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-tray), but you can certainly sleep *on* it with the Star Wars Plush Vehicles.

Sure, there's the usual array of action figures and prop replicas, but it's often for display purposes only; giving in to temptation to play is never an option especially since the original packaging is so important. With the Star Wars Plush Vehicles, fans of the sci-fi flick will be able to enjoy the comfort of three different ships in a [soft pillow form](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comforting-pillow). Fans can choose either the X-Wing, the Millennium Falcon or the AT-AT to cuddle up on during marathon nights. Hopefully, a version of [the Death Star](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ucs-death-star) will be released for the Sith-obsessed.
