WAYS TO CELEBRATE STAR WARS DAY

Via Starwars.com:
MAY THE 4TH WILL BE WITH YOU, ALWAYS.

May the 4th is approaching faster than an Ewok on a runaway speeder bike — are you ready? Just in case you’re in need of some inspiration, StarWars.com has compiled a list of fun ways you can celebrate your love of a galaxy far, far away.

Have a Star Wars movie marathon with friends and family! Where do you start? The Phantom Menace seems logical, but maybe a mini-marathon of Rogue One and A New Hope would provide just enough Star Wars for an evening. Do you mix in some episodes of Star Wars Rebels? It’s your day, so decide yourself you must.

Dressing up for special occasions is important, and May the 4th is no different. Wearing anything from your favorite Star Wars t-shirt to full-on stormtrooper gear is completely acceptable. (It’s okay to dress up your pet, too. Bounty hunter bulldogs or Princess poodles are especially encouraged.)

Food is an essential part of any holiday. Whip up a galactic smorgasborg of Star Wars-themed recipes! Who could pass up a heaping helping of Maz and Cheese? Not us.

Toast the saga with the ultimate Star Wars-themed beverage: blue milk, just like Aunt Beru used to make! (Fortunately, unlike Aunt Beru, you don’t own the droids the Empire is looking for.)

Feel the Force with Star Wars crafts: Learn how to make Death Star plans notebooks, DIY Gonk droid costumes, BB-8 bicycle wheel decorations, and more!

You know that Rebel Alliance symbol tattoo you’ve been thinking about getting? Today’s the day.

Sometimes people use holidays to travel to new places. Why not go to Disneyland or Disney World and ride Star Tours?

As Yoda said, “Pass on what you have learned.” Introduce a younger sibling, family member, or friend to Star Wars!

Do you have any Star Wars toys that you don’t need any more? Donate them and make May the 4th really memorable for children in need.
