Today is Star Wars Day, celebrating my #1 movie series- the epic saga that has become the mythos of the modern age.

Today, my sister is having a Star Wars Day "Intergalactic BBQ". She's also very creative & comes up with awesome themes for her kids' parties. There will probably be alot of lightsabers, costumes, & the movies playing in the background at her house.
My nephews are part of the newest generation of kids that love these movies, with its classic story elements and unique universe of locations & characters.
