Help me, Obi-wan Kenobi!
The first organized Star Wars Day took place in Toronto back in 2011. The event included an Original Trilogy Trivia Game Show, a costume contest, and a showing of fan-made tribute films, mash-ups, parodies, and remixes. In late 2012, Disney purchased Lucasfilm and has officially observed the holiday at Disneyland and Walt Disney World ever since.

On the videogame and arcade front, my oh my, there are plenty of Star Wars games to play today. A Steam search leads to a ton: https://store.steampowered.com/search/?term=star+wars
Let’s not leave out board games, cards and the like. Any good Star Wars board and card games you enjoy? Must admit I haven’t played any of those type games before. Think I remember playing a Star Wars themed Monopoly game once upon a space and time.
Wasn’t the 40th Anniversary edition pictured above, but then they have Monopoly-themed versions of just about everything you can imagine. As for card games?
How many Star Wars games do you own and/or play? What’s your favorite(s)? Let’s share all things Star Wars in the comments and on the Score Recap Show this morning, for those that can make it out to Twitch with Bradygoat and myself here: https://www.twitch.tv/playgamesmoredotcom There will be a VOD as well, if you miss the live show. We start around 5:30am PST typically and go for a couple hours or so live.
May the 4th of 2024 be with you all!
