So grab your lightsaber (device) and get ready to show off your Jedi skills.
- Use the force in the kitchen
If you need a break from your Star Wars movie marathon and let’s face it we’re all human why not flex your creative muscles in the kitchen and get baking. Just like the staff on the death star perhaps while we didn’t seen their canteen everyone who worked there must have had lunch at some point. So why not team up with a grown-up in your house to make some Star Wars themed biscuits you can make the basic dough and then get some help to cut out a death star (easy a circle) or a T.I.E. Fighter (not so easy especially if it’s Darth Vader’s custom built vehicle).
- Have a lightsaber duel
Woah stop right there we’re not suggesting for one moment that you use a real lightsaber because they’re very, very dangerous help is at hand as we have some extremely safe alternatives for any would be Jedis. Why not get some different coloured long balloons and do battle with the other Star Wars fans in your house that way? Don’t forget to make the sounds when you defend the rebel alliance and it’ll just be like the real thing. Whooooosh
- Listen to the Star Wars music
The music in the Star Wars movies is amazing that’s thanks to the composer John Williams whose genius shaped the more dramatic moments in this epic story. If anyone in your house uses a music streaming service ask their permission to search for the Star Wars soundtracks and march around the house to those intergalactic bangers maybe use The Cantina Band song when dinner is being served and pretend you’re with Obi Wan and Luke.
- Write a Star Wars story
There’s lots of different Star Wars stories with detailed back stories for the main characters why not pick a lesser known character and write a story about them. You could even write the plot for a film involving your favourite gang. All you need is a pen some paper and your imagination. You could even invent a new character and call them Keith it’s really up to you.

Take your Wookiee to work or school
okay well we know it can be hard to find a Wookiee particularly at short notice but that’s find just find a really hairy dog instead and take them with you to school. Well that’s if your school don’t mind you bringing a dog along and maybe Dennis might tell us some tips on how to keep a dog entertained in the classroom. If your school aren’t into the idea of a dog wandering around while your teacher is trying to make you learn stuff then maybe you might have to find a Wookiee after all.

Give yourself a Star Wars name
Kylo Ren, Luke Skywalker, C-3PO, Rey. Star Wars is full of characters with great names and why not get in on the act yourself and give yourself a special Star Wars name for the day. You could be Jeanida Silth or Yagorn Deccol maybe and the best thing is your teacher won’t be able to call your name out when they do the morning register unless your teacher’s a Jedi.
- Talk like Yoda for the day you could
Ever wonder why Yoda talks so funny do you?
Well wonder no more the wise jedi master speaks in a unique way because he follows a grammatical structure known as object-subject-verb’ which is different from the usual subject-verb-object structure used in English. This distinctive way of speaking is known as Yoda speak and it helps to emphasise important words and create a more memorable sentence structure. It also adds to Yoda’s mystique and wisdom making his words more clever and memorable.
Yoda’s speech pattern has become so iconic that it’s been parodied and imitated countless times in TV shows and beyond from adverts to memes everyone loves a good Yoda impression. So next time you hear him say do or do not there is no try remember that it’s not just what he’s saying it’s also how he’s saying it and that he was originally voiced by Frank Oz who also gave Miss Piggy from the muppets her legendary way of speaking to Kermit.
Let’s be honest speaking in the style of a Jedi Master is miles better than speaking like a boring old human being so why don’t you make things fun for May the Forth by talking like Yoda himself and if you’re at school don’t let that stop you. Teachers get confused they might, but you can always use your Jedi mind skills to get out of class early.
- Attack of the snacks
Speaking of snacks to while you’re preparing for your galactic film fest what better way to keep yourself going than with a plate full of Star Wars shaped snacks. We reckon your could prepare enough tasty treats to keep even Jabba the Hutt from going peckish and while we’re sure Bantha milk is delicious and nutritious we wouldn’t recommend making your own version. Just pretend it’s blue maybe.
- Start a Star Wars movie marathon
Return of the Jedi, Revenge of the Sith, The Rise of Skywalker or whatever your favourite Star Wars film is there are so many movies and TV series to choose from. It’s pretty hard to pick just one so instead why don’t you watch the entire series from beginning to end while we don’t have the exact number of minutes we’re certain it would take ages. So it might be worth telling a grown up before you start you know so they’ll be able to provide water and snacks and stuff like that. If you had time to choose just one Star Wars movie which one would you pick.
