A lot of us are going through a very difficult time right now, myself included, and we all could use something to take our minds off the current state of the world. So, with the help of my lovely followers, I’ve compiled a list of fun and free Star Wars-related activities you can do to help distract yourself. Star Wars is all about hope for the future in dire times, which is relevant now more than ever.
Here are some activities you can do to relax or keep your spirit up
- Star Wars Angry Birds (suggested by @bedlamsbard)
- Sci-Fi Warrior Dress Up Game (aka that REALLY FUN Star Wars dress up game that went viral a while ago) (suggested by @2heartgirl)
- Sci-Fi Warrior 2 (this time you can dress up the guys!! Not as detailed as the original, but still really fun!) (also suggested by @2heartgirl)
- Starwars.com has a whole page dedicated to games, so scroll to the bottom of the games to see the ones you can play online for free!
- Star Wars opening crawl generator! Remember when The Force Awakens came out and everyone was making those fake opening crawls? Now you can make one, too! (suggested by @dorothythesmallandmeek)
- Origami X-Wing patterns, all collected by @fineontheoutside
- Star Wars Femslash Rec List, so that you can replace your Sad Thoughts with Gay Thoughts by reading fanfiction from creators within our own fandom! The best thing you can do right now is share love with others, so be sure to let the writers know how much you enjoyed their fics!
- The Star Wars Youtube Channel has a bunch of playlists of videos on all sorts of different Star Wars-related topics for you to watch and enjoy!
- Here’s 40 minutes of Daisy Ridley interviews, because her smile literally will melt your heart with happiness
Hopefully this list can help you feel a little more hopeful, at least for a little bit! If anyone has any recommendations for more activities, please feel free to add them!
Don’t forget Mark(and Carrie!) being absolutely adorable in the old Blue Peter interviews!
Thanks for the good additions!
If all these calm and fun activities have helped and now you want to do some good in the world yourself, you all should also check out Force For Change, the official Star Wars campaign to inspire positive change and goodwill inthe world!
