I feel about this room the way I feel about parents who insist all their children’s toys match the decor. (Heaven forbid he or she has a firetruck!)

It’s cute, but it does not welcome the child into the family as a person? It’s not even something generic the child can personally build on, like animals or music. It’s just so specific. I know babies don’t have preferences and sometimes what we choose turns out NOT to be what the child prefers. But at least colours or some more generic theme allows the child some room to develop personal interests. What if he doesn’t like Star Wars and is instead a huge car nut?

It’s a cool room. I have a friend whose son would LOVE this room (minus the crib). But he’s 9 and his interest in Star Wars is real, not forced on him from infancy.
