Instructions

Things You'll Need

• Aluminum Foil
• Scary Sound Music
• Anakin Skywalker Costume
• Chewbacca Costume
• Darth Maul Costumes
• Darth Vadar Costume
• Princess Leia Costume
• Queen Amidala
• Star Wars Masks
• Glow-in-the-dark Stars
• Light Sabers

1. Ask guests to dress as their favorite "Star Wars" characters.

2. Place glow-in-the-dark stars throughout the house, on the walls and ceiling, for that deep space feeling.

3. Wrap a minibar with aluminum foil. Glue round buttons down the front to emulate R2-D2, the classic cocktail waiter.

4. Hold a costume contest. Award a battery-operated light saber to the contest winner.

5. Provide additional light sabers and ask guests to participate in mock duels. Award "Star Wars" action figures as prizes.

6. Play "Star Wars Trivial Pursuit," and weed out the true "Star Wars" fans from the casual spectators.

Tips & Warnings

• Rent the original trilogy and cue tapes to your favorite scenes. Take party breaks to watch a variety of scenes from the three films.

• Braid three scarves together, then wrap them in a spiral to create Princess Leia braids without the cost of purchasing a wig. Secure the spiraled braids to your own hair with bobby pins.
