No need to travel far, far away to find adorable companions. Plush toys from Hallmark called Itty Bittys include beloved "Star Wars" characters such as R2-D2, Chewbacca, Yoda and Darth Vader to name a few.

Each stuffed Itty Bitty collectible measures 4 inches tall and 3 inches wide and costs $7 (around £5 or AU$9).

Or you can also get multiple "Star Wars" Itty Bittys like in this "Star Wars: A New Hope" collector set, which includes dolls of Luke Skywalker, C-3PO, Obi-Wan Kenobi and a Jawa. The set retails for $30 (around £20 or AU$38).

Han Solo and Princess Leia are also sold as a couple (without C-3PO butting in) for $15 (around £10 or AU$19).

If you'd rather have a much bigger collectible, there is a version of Darth Vader that stands 2 feet tall and 20 inches wide for $140 (around £94 or AU$177).
