5 Fun Star Wars Facts

  1. The word “Ewok” was never actually used at any point in Return of the Jedi. Rather when the toys came out they were named as Ewoks.
  2. Yoda’s original name was going to be  Buffy, in the original script it was Minch Yoda.
  3. There is a small Polynesian island called Niue, 1,500 miles off the coast of New Zealand where collectible Star Wars coins are accepted as legal tender.
  4. Theaters were not excited about showing Star Wars, as a matter of fact less than 40 theaters agreed to book showings of Star Wars when it was released before Memorial Day.
  5. Han Solo’s most memorable line was ad-libbed, you know the part where Princess Leia says “ I love you” and he responds back with “ I know”- totally unscripted.

Star Wars Galaxy Obleek

There’s just so much fun in this little bowl and so much educational opportunity, too. While we played, we talked about so many subjects: why the obleek had the liquid/solid properties; how the figures sunk like the x-wing did on Degoba; what pretend constellations we could make; how the food coloring worked to make that neat galaxy-like swirl.

Finally, look at this fun activity to make Star Wars soap.

Star Wars DIY Projects- Star Wars Soap

You will need:

  • ¼ pound melt and pour soap base
  • 1 teaspoon oil- coconut, olive, palm, or castor
  • 2 teaspoons beeswax pellets
  • 5 drops of essential oil
  • Mica powder
  • A Star Wars mold shape of your choice

You will also need:

  • Glass container
  • Craft stick for mixing

First, cut the soap base into small squares, about 1” to help it melt faster and more evenly.

Make Cool Star Wars Soap and 15 Star Wars DIY Projects

Place soap pieces into the container. When making a small batch I like to use a mason jar because it is easy to clean up and pours into the molds nicely.

Make Cool Star Wars Soap and 15 Star Wars DIY Projects

Melt in the microwave in 30-second increments, it should not take more than 45- 60 seconds for this amount.

Make Cool Star Wars Soap and 15 Star Wars DIY Projects

Remove from the microwave and stir in beeswax pellets and oil until well combined.

If making only one color you can stir in a small amount of mica powder at this time, if you want to make each soap a different color leave it until after the next step.

Stir in essential oil until it is your desired scent strength.

Pour into each of the molds.

Next, add a small amount of the chosen color to each mold and stir quickly with a toothpick to mix. Be sure to scrape all along the edges as well as in the center.

 If you want a little more time to mix each color pour into one mold at a time and reheat until melted again. Continue until all molds are full.           

Make Cool Star Wars Soap and 15 Star Wars DIY Projects

Let the mold sit for several hours until cooled and completely hardened before removing from the mold.

When you remove the mold take a small knife and smooth off the excess soap.

Store in a cool dry place until ready to use. For use keep out of direct water.
