Make your own tasty rebels snacks with these simple instructions for DIY gummie candies! These treats are ideal for Star Wars parties, movie marathons, or just hanging out in Jabba’s palace. You could even use them to fill your Death Star piñata!

I find your lack of candy disturbing…

Why did the Imperial forces keep rebuilding the same interstellar battle station? Clearly because it was full of candy. Make your own Death Star piñata for May the Fourth, a Star Wars birthday party, or a release party for Star Wars: The Force Awakens! (Bonus points if you use a lightsaber to take a whack at it!)

In a galaxy far, far…erhm…in Anaheim this weekend storm troopers, droids, and Star Wars fans are descending upon Star Wars Celebration.

While Quirk is sad not to be joining in on the party, we’re excited that William Shakespeare’s Star Wars series author Ian Doescher will be their representing the Bard and glorious iambic pentameter!

On Saturday, 4/18 at 2pm you can find Ian Doescher at the ForceCast stage in Autograph Hall where he’ll be talking about the books and taking questions from the audience! Giveaway alert – you have a chance to win all 4 books in the series at this event!

And on Sunday, 4/19 at 11am he’ll be at the Digital Stage for William Shakespeare’s Star Wars On Stage. Join Ian and actors Marc Thompson, January LaVoy, and Jonathan Davis for an exclusive performance of select scenes from the series live on stage.

At 1pm, Ian and the actors will be signing copies of the William Shakespeare Star Wars series, including the recently released William Shakespeare’s The Phantom of Menace, hosted by the fabulous Mysterious Galaxy (booth #960).
