Star Wars Halloween

Now that you've picked a theme, you need to find (or make) some awesome decor to bring your theme to life. Here's some of my favorite Star Wars themed items:



You can't really have a proper Star Wars party without lightsabers. Whether you want to use them as part of the decor, make up some fun Star Wars theme party games or even just put out a barrel of them for party goers to have fun with, you've got to have some lightsabers.



The lightsaber might be a more elegant weapon, but sometimes there's no match for a good blaster by your side. Plus, everyone likes toy guns right?



This fun item would be great for candy or any other party favors you'd like to make available.



If you need some easy to come by small decorations, cake toppers or even party favors, Star Wars action figures are relatively cheap, plentiful and fun.



You can't set the proper mood, without the right music.



This particular one, is a bit pricey, but if you can find or make a few reasonably priced Stormtrooper helmets, a great addition to your Ewok village theme or general Star Wars party would be a recreation of the Stormtrooper helmet bongos. Helmets also would make fun serving bowls for snacks, candy, etc.



Your guests will love drinking out of these colorful Star Wars themed glasses.



This detailed replica is probably a bit of overkill for the average Star Wars fan, but I've often considered decorating a room in my home with Star Wars vehicles hanging from the ceiling and I think a few Star Wars vehicles would be a great addition to any Star Wars theme party. For cheaper options there are reasonably priced toys and models at Wal-Mart, Toys R US or online that could be incorporated into your theme in a variety of ways.

You can go as simple or as elaborate as your time, budget and creativity allows with a Star Wars Halloween theme. Here, I'll outline what I would consider a middle of the road approach using the Mos Eisley Cantina theme.

What you'll need:
A few toy lightsabers and laser pistols
Some star wars themed cups
A few Star Wars posters
Some Star Wars themed food & drink
A Star Wars jack 'o lantern or two
Some Star Wars masks
A couple tables
Portable CD player or iPod

The Plan
Jazz up the entrance to wherever you are having the party with a Star Wars Jack 'o Lantern or two. If you can pipe some Star Wars music out there to set the mood, all the better. Somewhere near the entrance set up some swag bags or a goodie table with snacks, candy, your toy weapons and any other fun little Star Wars trinkets your guests might enjoy playing around with. Decorate the walls with your posters and masks. To achieve the cantina effect, if you have a dimmer switch turn the lights down, if not maybe remove a few lamps to try and dim the room. Set up a portable music player to play some Star Wars themed music. If you want to go authentic you can play that one song the band seems to play throughout the party, but your guests might prefer a bit more variety. Set up a table to serve as the "cantina bar." If you're having a party for adults, serve some Star Wars themed cocktails. For kids or non-drinking grown ups, some punch and snacks will do. Get your friends to come dressed up in their favorite Star Wars costumes and have a blast!
