Do a Star Wars Movie Scavenger Hunt at Home

Star Wars Scavenger Hunt

Looking for creative ways to entertain your kids at home? Do they need a new challenge or a way to practice skill sets? Maybe your child doesn’t even need something to do but they’re a massive Star Wars fan and would love an excuse to watch the original trilogy. Get ready to sign them up for the coolest online class in the galaxy: Star Wars Movie Scavenger Hunt!

The class is a one-week course, set up in two sessions. The first class is a 15-minute session after which students will.be required to watch episodes 4-6, keeping count of events that occur multiple times, identifying objects in the background, and answering questions about characters. It enables kids to practice observation-based skills, such as listening and note-taking, as well as critical thinking. The second session is 45 minutes long and involves a Kahoot! competition to see who knows Star Wars best! Because no child wants to be the scruffy-looking nerf-herder who comes in last.

The sessions will take place in the first week of June, beginning Monday, June 1st at 7 pm. It’s considered appropriate for kids aged 10-15 and costs $12 per person. Pending the success of this class prequel classes may become available as well. So go ahead. Be a rebel and check it out for yourself! Sign up here.

Baby Yoda Love Your Melon Collection

Inspired by the adorable 50-year-old member of the Yoda species known as ‘The Child’, the new headbands and caps are the perfect addition to our intergalactic wardrobes! We loved the beanies, but now that it is getting to warm to wear them, we’re excited for the new hats and headbands!

Baby Yoda Love Your Melon Collection

There will be four colors of headbands, and four colors of hats available. The stretchy headbands are great for casual wear, or even keeping us cool while exercising! Afterall, we have to stay fit to fight off any Stormtroopers that might come for our Bounty! The denim caps also feature the same adorable Baby Yoda design embroidered on the front.

Love Your Melon limited edition collaborations tend to sell out quickly, so be sure to be on time to secure your quarry!

Are you excited for the latest Baby Yoda Love Your Melon Collection?

Star Wars Fan Syncs X-Wing Footage to ‘Danger Zone’ from Top Gun

Star Wars Fan Syncs X-Wing Footage to ‘Danger Zone’ from Top Gun. Massive Star Wars fan Jackson McKay has made the ultimate compilation of X-Wing footage from Star Wars: Episodes IV-IX and Rogue One and synced the video to Danger Zone, the iconic Kenny Loggins song from Top Gun.

Jackson shared, “I waited to make this until I could use [The Rise Of Skywalker] footage. X-Wings are my favorite starfighters, so it seemed like a fun project to keep me occupied while we’re all social distancing. Hope you enjoy!”

You can check out the full video below:

The pairing only seems natural given the nature of the song and the parallel to the use of X-Wings in the Star Wars franchise and the fighter jets used in Top Gun. We loved this creative compilation. Thanks, Jackson!

Fans around the world have recalled how Peter Mayhew was a “gentle giant.” Mayhew was an impressive 7′ 2″ tall, yet was one of the kindest celebrities around. He frequented Star Wars events and celebrations and loved nothing more than to meet with fans and discuss all things Star Wars. Mayhew also had a huge heart for charity and helping those in need, particularly those struggling financially due to disease, trauma, painful conditions, and more. Peter sparked the creations of the Peter Mayhew Foundation which continues his legacy of helping others after his passing.

From the many, many fans of Star Wars here at Chip & Co. Happy Birthday and May the Force be with you, Peter. Say “Hi” to the Princess/General for us.
