Etsy seller sheepcreeknc makes major deluxe-o custom Star Wars felted mobiles to order. At $380, they're not cheap, but if you owe someone a major baby gift, this might be just the thing.

The pictured mobile is a piece I recently made as a custom order. It features a Naboo Starfighter, Tie Fighter, X-Wing, Millenium Falcon, Star Destroyer, Republic Attack Gunship, 8 orange and white planets and 1 Death Star.

This listing is for a Star Wars mobile with the same basic structure as the mobile pictured (choose up to 6 Star Wars figures or ships and 9 planets/balls). For additional figures/ships/planets please contact me for a price quote.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    They’re felted, until you touch them.

    Not hating on, btw.  Just saying, if i were a cat, i would shred this mobile, eat it, and regurgitate the remains in less than 48 hours.

    Republic Attack Gunship: That’s the Tyderium Shuttle with a turbolaser stuck on the back, right? Only ship in the galaxy capable of rear-arc fire: killed the SHIT out of me in X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter.

    That felt just makes me think of tarantualas.
