Invitaion -Since it was last minute, the invitations went out via email saying, A long time ago in a galaxy far, far, away a young boy was born to his destiny.  This Jedi Knight will celbrate his 5th birthday.  Instead of the who,what, where, and when, I wrote The Jedi Knight - name, The Galaxy - location, The Light Year - Date, The Time - time. DECORATIONS - We went to the party store and bought Star Wars decorations and black and white streamers to represent the dark and light side.  We gave my son a Luke Skywalker costume for his birthday and let him wear it to the party. My nephew wore his storm tropper costume from Halloween. Instead of goody bags" the artist made a Darth Vadar head cake.  Using two cakes to cut out the various pieces and shapes and decorated it with fudge frosting and black licorace. ACTIVITIES - I took a black posterboard and drew the Death Star stars imperial ships and Han Solo's ship on the board. The kids threw a suction cup ball at the poster board trying to hit the imperial ship and miss Han's ship. We only had four kids so each one had a chance to take several tries.  We counted how many times each child hit an imperial ship or the Death Star.  The one with the most hits got to go first on the astroid hunt. I wrapped candy and other goodie bag items I bought at the store inside of aluminum foil. The Darth Vadar bracelet was a big hit.  I made the aluminum foil balls all different sizes. The kids took turns selecting a ball and got to keep what was inside.  After a few rounds of this the kids started to get antsy so we took them onto another task. Next we had Jedi training. First each child chose a character from the movie to be.  The birthday boy was already Luke Skywalker. I used a green frog stuffed animal to represent Yoda.  We secured "Yoda" to the back of the Jedi Knight in training. They had to make it through training with Yoda on their back.  We timed how long it took for them to do the obstacle course. The weather was bad outside so we had to adjust this to inside. The kids crawled under chairs swung on a tree branch (broom handle) over a swamp (green blanket) ran around a table flew a speed racer (scooter) to the other room put mega blocks in a laudry basket pushed the basket back to the other room ran to my sister where they used their Jedi mind to "lift" her. Again with so few kids each kid got to do this several times.  Luke a.k.a. birthday boy was the fastest every time at about 45 seconds.  The adults really enjoyed watching the jedi training. I dumped out the astroids again and let them pick until they were gone.    Then we opened presents and let the kids play with all the new Star Wars toys.  Luke was given a couple of light sabers so they acted out scences from the movie with Darth Vadar Luke and other Jedi.
