Here we go again. Just in time for summer vacation Disney is releasing the newest Star Wars movie. This one’s called Han Solo – A Star Wars Story.
Just like Roque One released two summers ago this movie is not part of the original Star Wars saga. Instead it’s a stand alone story designed to eventually tie all the movies together by filling in the background for characters and events brought to life in one of the movies starting with the very first Star Wars classic now called the New Hope or episode 4. Long story and actually even debatable as to which order the first 6 movies should be viewed. I’m not going to even get into that debate. I’m a Star Wars fan pretty much but I’d hardly call myself a hardcore fanatic.
Regardless what order one chooses to view the Star Wars saga I know that this latest addition will stir up interest in all things Star Wars yet again. Just like how The Last Jedi stirred up interest in the later part of last year when it was released during the holiday season.
So to give you a heads up here are a few Star Wars related crafts that should keep the kids busy for a while. So go ahead take them to see Han Solo and gather your craft supplies and let them get creative. I know I’ll be taking the grandkids to see the movie and we’ll probably end up making some of the crafty things I’ve posted here!
By the way Star Wars aren’t just for kids, adults love them too! I’ll be posting some crafting ideas and even recipes that are Star Wars related in the coming weeks so check out my posts this may get interesting! If you can’t wait check out my round up of Star Wars free crochet patterns!
