Even though there hasn’t been a recent film, Star Wars remains a definate favorite among fans of all ages. Kids of all ages from 2 to 52 find the world that was created by Star Wars creator George Lucas to be an infinitely fascinating world in which to allow their imagination and fantasies to take flight in that galaxy far, far away. If your special birthday girl or boy is a fan of these films, a star wars party theme to add to your brilliant party list is a definate must.
Have your guests come dressed as their favorite Star Wars characters and decorate your house with some fantastic Star Wars party supplies. If you want a challenge you should run a back-to-back showing of all six films but bewarned, this results in a very long weekend event. Perfect if your birthday falls on around a bank holiday. Otherwise it’s a great idea but you may want to split it into two years’ worth of celebrations.
If your child’s friends are a creative bunch you can arrange a game whereby guests speculate and make up their own stories based on what happens between Episodes III and IV as well as what happens to favorite characters after Episode VI. This is a lot of fun and creates a sort of role-playing atmosphere for the party that can be a huge amount of fun.
If this isn’t enough activity and you want a little something to wear the kids (big or small) out you might want to invite your guests to a Jedi training academy of sorts. Set up an obstacle course for everyone to follow and a series of exercises similar to what Luke went through in The Empire Strikes Back. The winner can get some Star Wars themed award for giggles and a little added entertainment.
If a Star Wars theme birthday party is on your wish list for your child’s birthday then before to make your best effort to make this a fun and memorable event. May the Force be with you.
