May The 4th Be With You!

“Stay on target!”

Whether you grew up with the original trilogy like I did or first discovered the Force in The Phantom Menace, there’s plenty of Star Wars things to celebrate today! I hope that you get the chance to celebrate that story from a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. Here are a few things you can do to show off your love of all things Star Wars:

Cosplay

Yeah, you don’t have to be as screen accurate as the wonderful Scruffy Rebel Cosplay is in the photo above (by Dietz Photography), but you can definitely put on your favorite Star Wars costume. Whether you wear it to a party or just around the house, feel free to show off your Rebel or Imperial duds!

Buy Action Figures!

You know you want to, so get out there and pick up some new (or old) Star Wars action figures! If cash is short, break out your old collection and reminisce about your favorite moments from the films.

Wear A Star Wars Tee, Cap, Shoes, Etc.!

Even if you have to tuck it under your work uniform, slap on that old Chewbacca t-shirt or put that Imperial insignia pendant around your neck!

Play A Game!

Dig up one of your old Star Wars board games, play on a console, or hop online with friends. There are tons of options out there and I know that if you’re a Star Wars fan, you have at least one game based on the franchise!

Read A Book!

There are a lot of Star Wars books, old and new, on shelves across the country. Check one out at the library or buy one from your favorite bookstore. If you need suggestions, I highly recommend the Republic Commando series by Karen Traviss!

Throw A Star Wars Party!

Invite your friends and family over for a galactic bash! Make Star Wars themed food and drinks, play games, and watch some of the films or shows. You’ll have a great time!

Watch The Star Wars!

Seems kinda obvious, right? Watch any or all of the Star Wars films, catch up on your favorite Star Wars cartoon or live action series, or go all in and watch the Holiday Special! If you do nothing else on this day, make sure to watch something related to Star Wars!

Thanks for checking out my post. Happy Star Wars Day!!!!!
