Star Wars™-Themed At Home Date Ideas
Let’s punch it into hyperspace and take a look at these easy, at home date ideas to epically celebrate May the Fourth!
1. Jedi Training Challenge
Channel your inner Obi-Wan and test your Jedi skills! Set up a lightsaber duel (pool noodles make perfect lightsabers!) or create a quick “Force Obstacle Course” around your house. Whoever completes it the fastest wins a kiss…or full bragging rights until next May the Fourth. 😉
2. Star Wars Movie Marathon
Queue up your favorites — classic trilogy, prequels, or even a Disney+ binge-fest of The Mandalorian! Bonus: Create “commercial breaks” where you pause the movie and fire off cheesy Star Wars™ pick-up lines (we’ve got a list below 👇).
3. Costume Contest
DIY some Star Wars-inspired costumes using what you already have at home! Bathrobes become Jedi cloaks, buns in your hair = instant Leia, and a dark hoodie turns you into a Sith in seconds. Snap some silly selfies and post them with the caption: “Couples strong with the Force.” Don’t forget to tag us!
4. Build a LEGO Millennium Falcon…Together
If you already own Star Wars LEGOs, perfect. If not, print out a few Star Wars-themed coloring pages or “build” a paper spaceship craft together! 🛸
5. Star Wars Trivia Battle
Each of you takes turns quizzing the other. Come up with your own trivia, or use some of these 248 questions from Water Cooler Trivia! Wrong answer? You must perform a “punishment”—like your best Chewbacca roar or a dramatic Yoda impression. (You know you want to!)
Star Wars™-Inspired Treats
These treats are easy to whip up and oh so delicious!
1. Wookiee Cookies 🍪
Bake your favorite chocolate chip cookies, but call them “Wookiee Cookies.” Bonus points if you add extra chocolate chips—because Wookiees deserve it.
2. Yoda Soda 🥤
Mix lemon-lime soda with a scoop of lime sherbet for a fizzy green treat that’s as sweet as it is wise.
3. Lightsaber Pretzel Rods
Dip pretzel rods in melted red or green candy melts to make edible lightsabers. No judgement here if you decide to duel with them first! 😜
Star Wars™ Pick-Up Lines to Impress Your Sweetheart
May the flirt be with you! 😘 Try slipping a few of these into your conversations:
- “Are you a Jedi? Because every time you’re near, you light up my Force.”
- “You R2 good to be true.”
- “I must be a lightsaber because you’ve ignited something in me.”
- “Yoda one for me.”
- “You’re the Obi-Wan I’ve been looking for.”
- “Mind if I Leia some love on you?”
- “Without you, my life would be like Tatooine… barren and hot.”
I even put a few of these into graphics that you can download (at the bottom of the post) and text to your sweetie!
Bonus: Star Wars™ Jokes & Puns to Make You Laugh
- What do you call five Siths piled on top of a lightsaber?
A Sith-Kebab.
- Why did Anakin Skywalker cross the road?
To get to the Dark Side.
- What’s a Jedi’s favorite dessert?
Obi-Wan Cannoli.
