Awesome Star Wars Party Ideas
1. Star Wars Favor Bags
One of the best Star Wars party ideas is to create personalized goodie bags filled with an assortment of sci-fi-themed goodies like character stickers, mini Lego sets, Star Wars books and cute sweet treats. You can even include fun Star Wars party favors like DIY Princess Leia headbands made from brown headbands, yarn, felt and your trusty glue gun.
If you really want to keep your party budget from flying into a black hole, create your own Star Wars-themed bags using simple supplies. With just white gift bags, sticky-backed black craft foam, a permanent marker and a bit of creativity, you can design custom bags that look like they came straight from the Resistance's party planning committee.
2. Themed Macarons
Take your Star Wars party food to a galaxy far, far away with themed macarons. All you need is a basic macaron recipe like this one from The Food Network.
With some creative icing decorating skills, you can create all kinds of designs, from adorable R2-D2 macarons with signature blue and white detailing to menacing Death Star spheres that look like they could obliterate a dessert table and furry Chewbacca-inspired treats that capture the lovable Wookiee's personality.
3. Star Wars Cakes
If your Star Wars themed party is missing a conversation piece, bake a show-stopping Death Star cake. To create this edible work of art, follow any skilled baker's simple recipe or take it up a notch with an incredible R2-D2 cake, built layer by layer and covered in rich ganache, smooth buttercream and a flawless fondant finish.
Complete the party foods spread with legs made out of edible Rice Krispie treats and you'll have a treat that's almost too cool to eat.
4. Sugar Cookies
Making Star Wars party food doesn’t have to be complicated. With a simple sugar cookie recipe and some stamp-style cookie cutters, you can bring all your favorite Star Wars heroes and villains to life in delicious form.
5. Stormtrooper Cupcakes
If you don’t have enough time to commit to a cake, make some stormtrooper cupcakes instead. You’ll need cupcakes, of course (either baked at home or storebought), then grab a food-safe black marker and draw those iconic stormtrooper features onto a marshmallow.
Place it on top of a cupcake with smooth white frosting, and voilà — you’ve just added a little galactic flair to your Star Wars party spread.
6. Jedi Training Party
Transform your Star Wars themed party into an epic Jedi Training Academy. Start by crafting simple Jedi robes — no sewing required! Just grab some tan and brown fabric and cut it into two pieces: one large rectangle for the robe (about 2’ x 5’ or bigger for older kids) and a long, thin strip for the belt.
Fold the large piece in half, cut a small half-circle in the crease for the neckline then drape it over the child’s shoulders and tie the belt around their waist. To make the experience even more special, hand out jedi training completion certificates once their training is complete. These printable certificates add a fun touch and double as memorable Star Wars party favors.
7. Build and Battle
Make your Star Wars party even more epic by giving each kid a mini LEGO starship set. They can build their ships together and then launch into thrilling galactic battles right at the party. Best of all, these mini sets double as awesome party favors, so the fun doesn’t stop when the party ends.
8. Yoda Soda
Give your party drinks a Jedi-worthy upgrade with a Yoda-inspired drink. Whether you're serving green soda or adding a splash of green food coloring to caffeine-free lemon-lime soda, this simple trick makes it extra fun. Coat the rim of each glass with green frosting and dip it into green sprinkles for a festive touch and finish it off with a black-and-white straw for a little extra flair.
Star Wars Themed Party Games
9. Scavenger Hunt
Get your guests in on the action with an epic Star Wars party-themed scavenger hunt. Whether you're challenging them with riddles inspired by famous quotes or sending them on a mission to track down hidden character cards, this game is guaranteed to keep the excitement going.
You can print your own designs on cardstock or check out the many themed available on Etsy — there are tons of fun options, from movie-time scavenger hunts to full-on escape room experiences.
10. Escape the Empire
An action-packed obstacle course challenge is one of the best Star Wars party games for an outdoor get-together. Set up a series of fun hurdles, tunnels, and balance beams and tell your guests they must complete the course to escape the clutches of the Death Star.
Want to add some friendly competition? Time each participant and see who can make the fastest escape.
11. Empire Strikes Back Bowling
Roll out the fun at your Star Wars party with an on-theme bowling experience. To bring your cosmic bowling alley to life, print out stormtrooper helmets, attach them to your bowling pins and set up your “stormtrooper bowling” game in the backyard or any large space.
Or, you can level up the excitement and take this intergalactic showdown to your local bocce court. Either way, this would make for a great birthday party activity at a Star Wars party for adults. Plus, if you go the DIY route, most of the supplies can be crafted from everyday items or purchased affordably.
12. Asteroid Hunt
Here’s a simple yet exciting game that’ll keep the kids engaged: an asteroid hunt! Think of it as an Easter egg hunt but with a Star Wars twist. Instead of colorful eggs, you’ll be hiding foil-wrapped “asteroids” filled with candy or small surprises. Young Padawans can search high and low, just like Rey scavenging for parts on Jakku or Obi-Wan hunting for clues on Kamino.
13. Deathstar Piñata
One of the best ways to bring your Star Wars party theme to life is with a Death Star piñata. It’s a surprisingly simple project: just cover an inflated beach ball with layers of papier-mâché, let it dry then paint on some Death Star details.
Once it’s ready, gather your Jedi (or Sith) and take turns striking it down. Instead of dangerous space debris, you'll be showered with candy.
14. Two Truths and a Lie: Star Wars Edition
Challenge your fellow Star Wars fans to use their force-detecting powers with a Star Wars version of two truths and a lie.
In this version, your guests will be challenged to figure out which two statements about a classic character are true and which one is a sneaky lie. This is one of the best Star Wars party games for when you want to test your guests' Star Wars knowledge and spark some lively conversation.
15. Star Wars Bingo
Star Wars Bingo is a fantastic party game for adults that brings fun to guests of all ages. It’s easy to play, keeps everyone engaged and adds a little friendly competition without being too tricky.
Whether you're hosting a Star Wars party for adults, kids or a mix of both, this game will have everyone joining in the fun.
16. Pin the Lightsaber
Star Wars party games don’t get more fun than "pin the lightsaber." Find a great image of Yoda, Luke, Leia or even Darth Vader, then create a fun poster using Photoshop or a simple printout.
Add cut-out lightsabers labeled with each Jedi’s name and let the challenge begin. Blindfolded, players can take turns trying to place their lightsaber in the right spot, bringing plenty of laughs and friendly competition along the way.
17. Craft Your Own Lightsaber
Turn your Star Wars party into a lightsaber workshop where kids can turn pool noodles into their very own custom lightsabers. Using silver and black duct tape, each young Jedi can create their very own unique weapon and feel like a true Star Wars hero.
Top Ideas for a Star Wars Party for Adults
18. Jedi vs Sith Dessert Table
Create a dessert table that captures the clash of good and evil that is the Jedi vs Sith battle. Set the scene by dividing your table into two opposing sides: one bathed in the cool blues and whites of the Light Side, the other in the fiery reds and blacks of the Dark Side.
Incorporate bold signage — one reading "Come to the Dark Side" and another challenging guests with "Your Path You Must Decide." You could also offer themed treats that pay tribute to both forces — think lightsaber-inspired cupcakes, dark chocolate Darth Vader cookies and glowing blue jello cups representing the Jedi.
19. Intergalactic Cocktails
No Star Wars party for adults is complete without themed drinks to match the adventure. Instead of a Tequila Sunrise, make the Tatooine sunset with tequila, orange juice, grenadine and a splash of blue curaçao, served with an orange slice to mirror twin suns.
For a Sith-worthy sip, try the Dark Side Martini with black vodka, cranberry juice and club soda, finished with a red sugar rim for a sinister touch. Or go bold with the Rebel Rum Punch, a daring mix of light and dark rum, pineapple juice, orange juice and grenadine, garnished with an orange slice and cherry.
20. Galactic Dance Floor
Want to create an atmosphere that makes every guest feel like they're starring in their own Star Wars adventure? Set the scene with glow-in-the-dark stars and planets and hire a DJ to spin legendary tracks from the Star Wars soundtrack.
21. Star Wars Cinema
Set up a screening area with comfy seating and let everyone enjoy their favorite movies or episodes from the saga. Create a voting system where guests can choose which Star Wars story they want to watch, with options ranging from the classic original trilogy to the latest Disney+ adventures.
22. R2-D2 Popcorn Bags
Let your guests snack in true Star Wars style with adorable R2-D2 popcorn bags. Just grab some white paper lunch bags and decorate them with R2-D2 details using construction paper and glue. To make your popcorn even more epic, toss in a few Star Wars action figures for decoration and mix in red and blue M&Ms for a pop of jedi vs. sith color.

23. Rebels vs Empire

Star Wars party themes often feature lightsabers and they’ll fit right into this decoration idea.

While email invites are convenient, there's something special about receiving a tangible, carefully crafted invitation with your name on it. A Star Wars-themed invite is perfect for guests of all ages, whether you’re throwing a 13th birthday party or a 30th.
26. Cardboard Landspeeder
With a little creativity, some cardboard, tin foil, construction paper, black markers and glue, you can craft unique hovercrafts that your guests will love.
These speedy little creations are a fantastic way to let your guests enjoy their favorite Star Wars episode in style, all while munching on tasty treats from the comfort of their very own land speeder.
27. R2-D2 Garbage Can
As far as Star Wars party decorations go, a themed garbage can might seem like a small detail but it’ll make your party more memorable. All you need is a simple cylindrical garbage can from your local dollar store and you can transform it into R2-D2 by adding his iconic details with vinyl. It’s an easy, affordable way to bring a little bit of Star Wars charm into your celebration.
