From the creators of the Star Wars Cookbooks comes an extragalactic party book chock-full of ideas for games, food, crafts, decorations, invitations, costumes, along with shiny foil stickers that are truly out-of-this-world! For the ultimate Star Wars party, choose from six otherworldly themes including Palace Pajama Party, Kamino Camp-Out, Death Star Blowout, and Jabba's Movie Marathon.

YES! Whether it be a sleepover or camp out, this book is ideal for not only beginning Star Wars fans, but die-hard Star Wars lovers as well. The food is usually shaped or tied thematically to the parties (from clone trooper cookies to Jabba's juice). The activities are based on simple party games though an elaborate Death Star piñata, pictured on the cover says the level is amplified.
Ok, the book itself isn't all that amazing, but getting my 8 year old nephew to plan menus, make a shopping list, decorate for a "fancy dinner" and then help cook and clean up? I'd give this a jillion stars. We're having our second annual Star Wars Dinner tomorrow, at his request, so it was definitely worth however much it cost. (Although, I'm pretty sure I got it at the UBS, so it probably didn't cost that much in the first place.)
The recipes are just... regular recipes with Star Wars names, but they're interestingly presented, and creative (Han Solo Hoagies, Rancor Snacks, Jabba's Juice). And the pictures of the action figures with the food are a great bonus, and provide that extra incentive for kids to move from just reading about it to doing it.
There's two other Star Wars cookbooks, and I might know a little boy who's getting them for Christmas.
