I edited shots of Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan to smoosh them closer together đ + 2 bonus edits
I'm particularly proud of how I edited liam's hand into the 3rd one because it was originally the shot of him holding Obi's lightsaber
Okay so LISTEN!!! I have been pacing my space-quarters (aka my room) for two days straight trying to figure out what to do for Star Wars Day besides the classics like:
âWatch all the moviesâ (which, duh, obviously you should do)
âReplay SWTOR or Battlefrontâ (please wreck people as Leia in my honor)
âRewatch Rebels and cry over the Space Famâ (which I also highly recommend, especially if you need a good sob in the fetal position)
But THEN I was like... what about the UNHINGED STUFF. The crafting chaos. The snack-based roleplay. The 'I taped googly eyes to my broom and called it a droid' vibe. What about THAT.
So I have compiled for youâa fellow creature of the Force, glitter, and ADHDâthis list of alternate, cursed, fun, creative, and very serious Star Wars Day activity propositions (because "ideas" sounds too chill and we are on a mission from the Maker today).
Some are crafty. Some are snacky. Some are just... rituals. Some involve pretending you're a Mandalorian babysitting Grogu at a Walgreens. Do all of them. Do one of them. Do them with friends, your cat, or your homemade Force-sensitive droid thatâs just a blender with a mood.
Let this be the year you say âMay the Fourthâ and truly mean it.
Now go forth, Jedi trash gremlins, Sith chaos goblins, and Mandalorian art school dropoutsâand make this the weirdest, sparkliest Star Wars Day yet.
(Also if you want recipes, printable sheets, Lulu plushie tutorials, or dramatic Star Wars quotes rewritten as Mad Libs about toast and therapy, hit me up because I am READY.)
Hide Loth-cats Around Your House Draw some goofy Loth-cats (bad art encouraged), cut them out, and sneak them into random placesâbookshelves, cereal boxes, someone's sock drawer. Say there's been a smuggling mishap with an Imperial crate from Lothal and the cats are loose. Tell your roommates/kids/stray Mandalorians theyâre on a secret mission to find them before they shred the furniture. Bonus: make one look suspiciously like Ezra.
Make Star Wars Friendship Bracelets Yes. Like itâs summer camp and youâre in a galaxy far, far away. Use colors for characters (black, brown, red, and blue = Anakin; orange, blue, white= Ahsoka, etc). Donât you roll your eyesâAnakin wouldâve absolutely made one for Obi-Wan in a tragic attempt at expressing feelings. Give one to your friend and say, âThis is the way.â
Take Your Grogu Plush on Adventures Strap that baby in the car. Take him to the grocery store. Set him at your desk like heâs supervising. Snap photos and post them like you're Din Djarin and your green war criminal toddler is once again touching things he shouldnât. Add captions like âRefused to nap, bit a cashier. Proud of him.â
Make a DIY Lightsaber... but Bad Paper towel rolls. Wrapping paper tubes. A broom handle. Light-up chopsticks. Go nuts. Decorate them with duct tape and delusion. Challenge someone to a duel at lunch. No real injuries, only bruised egos.
Galaxy-Inspired Art Time Paint a tiny galaxy with watercolors, chalk, nail polishâwhatever chaos medium you choose. Doesnât have to be accurate. In fact, make up a planet and give it a ridiculous name like âGlorpflak 7â and say thatâs where your OC is from. Hang your art like you're decorating your X-wing locker.
Make Star Wars Bookmarks Get crafty. Draw Sabine graffiti art. Paint a moody Kylo Ren. Or, better yet, just print a picture of Obi-Wan looking disappointed and write âI find your lack of reading disturbing.â Stick it in your favorite book and let him silently judge you.
Host a âCouncil of Chaosâ Snack Meeting Grab some friends (real or stuffed) and have a snack-based Jedi Council. Give everyone a Star Wars name. Eat blue snacks only. Elect the most dramatic person as Yoda. Argue about whether Anakin was right (he wasnât). End in snacks and betrayal.
Write âCanon-But-Shouldnât-Beâ Headcanons Why did Obi-Wan name himself Ben? Do Ewoks have opinions on modern fashion? Would Rex listen to sad clone indie-pop? Write one-sentence headcanons and text them to your friends like itâs a cursed prophecy.
Build a âTrash Droidâ Tape googly eyes onto a soup can. Add arms made of pipe cleaners and a weird personality. Boom. Youâve adopted a garbage droid named Blorp who thinks theyâre fluent in Sith but is just swearing. Be nice to them.
Create a âMandalorian Babysitter Logâ Draw little journal entries or logs as if youâre a stressed Mandalorian writing down the chaos of babysitting Grogu. âDay 4: Child swallowed a frog. Denied it. I saw it. Frog is now hopping inside his mouth. Send help.â
Rename Everything in Your House With Star Wars Labels Toilet = Sarlacc Pit. Sink = Kamino Waterfall. Couch = Wampa Nest. Fridge = Carbonite Storage. Stick post-it notes on everything. Let the madness unfold.
Invent a New Sith Name Put âDarthâ in front of something you fear or something mildly inconvenient. Darth PublicSpeaking. Darth SlowWiFi. Darth FlatSoda. Write it in your bio for the day.
Cook Like Youâre on the Jedi Temple Cafeteria Staff Listen, do you think Jedi magically eat healthy? No. They have a cafeteria and Obi-Wan definitely brings a sad salad to meetings. But YOU? You're cooking today. Youâre the head chef on the Death Star and you're putting BLUE MILK in everything like a menace. Make blue milk, Groguâs bougie macarons, Anakin's âI burned this toast with the Forceâ sandwiches, or Obi-Wanâs Sadboy Stewâ˘. Want recipes? I GOT YOU. You just say the word and I will summon them like a Holocron of chaos.
Make a Lula Plushie (Or Horrific Approximation) Yes, the Lula. Itâs soft, itâs sacred. Canât sew? Doesnât matter. Use socks. Use felt. Use GLUE AND PRAYERS. Name it something increasingly unhinged like âSir Scurrington of Lira Sanâ and make it your emotional support chaos animal for the day. Take photos of it like it's your child. âFirst time touching grass.â âLearning to read.â âBiting a senator.â
Create a Star Wars Cooking Show Skit Put on an apron, grab a spoon, and become âChef Vader.â Tell the camera (aka your phone propped up with a water bottle) that today you're making âForce-FlambĂŠed Tatooine Toastâ and âBoba's Boba.â Make up fake sponsor segments. âThis episode is brought to you by Dexâs Diner Grease Wipes!⢠- When the Force isnât enough to clean up the mess.â Bonus: make your friends watch it. They canât escape.
Build a TIE Fighter Out of Snacks Graham crackers, Oreos, marshmallowsâyes, itâs time to construct a snack-sized star war. If it collapses, congrats, you're a true Imperial engineer. If it flies? You're terrifying and probably a war criminal. Eat your ship like the New Republic would want.
Design Your Own Sith Lord⌠Out of Random Craft Supplies Gather whatever cursed items you have: pipe cleaners, feathers, googly eyes, a toilet paper roll. Create a figure and name them something like Darth Confettius or Lady Crayola the Terrible. Write a tragic backstory. "Once a respected glue stick in the Jedi archives, now seeks revenge on all who denied her sparkles."
Make Lightsaber Snacks and Refuse to Share Dip pretzel rods in colored candy melts to make edible lightsabers. Then, aggressively wave them at anyone who asks for one and whisper, âOnly a Sith deals in snacks.â
Host a Force Cooking Challenge Tell your roommates/family/imaginary clone squad that you must now cookâbut only using âForce powers.â No hands. Wooden spoons in your mouth. Utensils taped to elbows. The food will be awful. You will feel powerful. This will be funny asf, sorry not sorry.
Create a Star Wars Playlist and Pretend You're DJ Rex at Oga's Cantina Make a playlist where half the songs are actual Star Wars scores, and the other half are just unreasonably chaotic picks like âMr. Brightsideâ (for Anakin) or âWAPâ (for Hondo Ohnaka, donât ask). Put on sunglasses and introduce each song like, âThis next one goes out to the Jedi who died in Order 66⌠itâs Stayinâ Alive.â
Make Star Wars Terrariums Go outside. Grab moss. Tiny rocks. A weird stick. Put them in a jar and say âthis is Dagobah now.â Add a plastic frog and call it âYodaâs real cousin, Broda.â Bonus points for narrating its tragic backstory like itâs a documentary.
Invent Your Own Star Wars Holiday Forget May the Fourth. Today is Boonta Pie Day. Itâs about racing, betrayal, and excessive dessert. Make up a whole ritual. Chant. Bake a pie. Duel someone. Wear oven mitts like gauntlets.
Build a Shrine to Your Favorite Star Wars Character A corner. A shelf. A weird pile on your bed. Decorate it with random objects that ârepresentâ them. A spoon = Anakin (edgy, useful, easily bent). A candle = Ahsoka (glows, but also burns). A rock = Zeb. Add weird fan art, a post-it that says âheâs trying his best,â and worship accordingly.
Unhinged Star Wars Mad Libs Take a serious Star Wars quote and make it ridiculous: _"Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to ____. ______ leads to suffering." Now read it with conviction like youâre in front of the Jedi Council. (Suggestions: âFear leads to burnt toast. Burnt toast leads to therapy. Therapy leads to suffering.â)
And bestieâif you need more ideas, more crafts, more chaos, more weird Star Wars Day energyâdrop a comment and I will RUN to you like Merrin sprinting full-speed to play tongue twisters with Cal Kestis after downing three espressos and a spite potion.
I got you. This is the Way. đŤđĽ
Here I was just talking to Mosey playing with camera angles when:
âI barely knew my parents.â
âI BARELY KNEW MY PARENTS.â
Iâm sorry WHAT. Does this mean he didnât arrive at the temple as a baby? He has SOME memories of his parents?? How old was he when the seekers/some other random Jedi found him??? Please Iâm going crazy over this đ
Jedi Survivor's 2 year anniversary is in ONE WEEK and I'm working on new videos (yes plural!) to celebrate. See you all then âď¸

âIf someone asked me âWhat are the signs of love?â I would have said without hesitation, Itâs the familiarity and the removal of cost, And to find yourself not having to lie, and the embarrassment removed between you two, and see yourself acting in your nature without trying to be something else so she likes you, And that you two keep silent and the silence gets delicious, And that one of you two talk and listening gets delicious.â
