My son turned 6 and has become a Star Wars nut. He can tell you which character, which scene happened in which episode. So naturally, I thought that by using the Luke/Yoda training theme, (Episode V on Dagobah System by the way...) we could have some fun. I will confess that I did receive some ideas here. ROBES- My mother-in-law made 12 Jedi Robes with hoods and an adult sized one for Obi-Wan Kenobi (me). Weblink for Robes: http://www.degraeve.com/jedirobe/ Note: the kids LOVED them! Make sure you have a few extras, we had one parent NOT RSVP and  their kid came, got a robe, and a kid running late, (who DID RSVP) did not get one. BIG SCREEN LIGHT SABER FIGHT - This is very cool, especially with a larger screen. The kids each take turns and try to beat Darth Maul or any other Star Wars Character. It plugs into your TV and works like a  Nintendo Wii. I used some masking tape and made boundaries, so the fighter would not hit the other trainees-highly recommended. You can buy here: http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Light-Saber-Battle/dp/B00061I4CE  GUNGAN WATER BALLOON BATTLE This event departs the Yoda/Luke training theme, but it's such a blast, who cares?. I made a water balloon catapult and got a Jar-Jar standup cutout and put him in the street below our entrance (50-60 feet away) Each kid was able to safely push a button to release the catapult and one actually caught Jar-Jar right between the eyes! True Star Wars fans will find this especially satisfying. OBSTACLE COURSE We rented an inflatable obstacle course and added a few extras: -they had to carry Yoda on their back- I bought a Yoda backpack on ebay. -Modifying our Play/Swing Set, I built a rope swing over toxic waste" (green fluorescent tempera paint w/water) then they climbed up into the tower where they had to shoot a Stormtrooper cutout with Nerf Blaster. This was the big event. Since there are 6 year olds involved I discourage actually timing them and making it a competition unless 2 excellent performers want a 'challenge race'  Let each go through at their own pace and after that give em a half an hour just playing..on everything. I had grownups at the important stations at all times. DEATH STAR PINATA I either stole this idea from this site or elsewhere on the 'net. I will say that I used a baseball pinata stripped it of all crepe paper painted it silver and cut a circle where the round indentation (laser ray) is to put in the candy. and put a strip of thin black masking tape on the equator. I opened up an older used light saber and bolted in a PVC pipe and painted it fluorescent green- much stronger and won't damage the the regular lightsabers that the guest were asked to bring. You can actually restore the lightsaber back after the party.   CAKE I asked the local grocery bakery to make a camouflaged rectangle. We bought the Dagobah scene from the internet and decorated it with X-wing fighter and action figures.  AWARDS I made a JEDI KNIGHT certificate for each kid signed by Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi plus a goodie bag full of standard Party City trinkets. I did go to ebay and got some cool Pez dispensers and other Star Wars stuff. As each new "Jedi" received their award the had their picture taken with the birthday boy. NOTES: Use a boombox and play Star Wars music all the time. (I used iPod route) Look on ebay for inexpensive posters and things to make it look like Star Wars ALLOW 2-2.5 hrs  (we had 13 'trainees')
