Hello!

I am wanting to have a weekend celebration with all things Star Wars for my DHs birthday. We have two young DC who would love to get involved.

Problem is -I have not seen Star Wars since I was about 5! Any creative Star Wars fans out there?

So far I have:
Watch Star Wars whilst eating Star Wars themed snacks (to be determined what these snacks might be!)
Have a light saber fight in back garden

.....Yep, I definitely need help!

Complete Saga for the Wii game deffo - it's lots of fun actually. It does include Eps 1-3 as well but you can just ignore them and play 4-5 (note: you can only play the first level in each episode at first; once you've completed the first level that gives you access to the second, etc).

Ok I am back seeking more advice please!

I am organizing costumes. Can someone please tell me what they think is the coolest costume for a DS? There are a couple of things to keep in mind:
-not Darth Vader as DH has bought that costume for himself that he thinks he has cleverly hidden away
-not Luke Skywalker- as we have a baby DC named Luke so he will get Luke Skywalker costume when he gets older and for now I will dress him up as baby Yoda Grin

Just asked two 7yo boys Cassie and both came out with Master Yoda so they can paint their faces green Hmm Grin

They are both sat playing star wars at the moment

Storm troopers are cool..and you can never have too many

Ultimate presents for Star Wars fans: here (costumes, props etc from the guy who made the originals)

Cassie - how old is the DS that you want a costume for? Could he be a jedi youngling or is he too old?

Stealth he is 3 yrs so young Jedi would be appropriate. Hmmmm that or a Storm Trooper? They are cool too!

Will check out Darth Vader cake -good idea!

Baby Yoda may be up for a green face -he is pretty chilled so we may get away with it!

They're not just any costumes, they're the real thing Wink (possibly the distinction is clear only to star wars geeks)

youngling costumes
