Movies and More For a Sensational ‘Star Wars’ Weekend

With the Star Wars movies now in digital HD, are you making this a Star Wars weekend?

Thanks to Lucasfilm, 20th Century Fox, and Disney, I’m using the Google Play app on my phone to take The Empire Strikes Back with me everywhere I go. Over the years I’ve seen this film on everything from a filmstrip to VHS tape to laserdisc, but it’s just as stunning to watch it in the palm of my hand.

If you’re looking to do more than just watch the films this weekend, here are a few suggestions from the official Star Wars web site and beyond for more activities to make this (or any time) a complete Star Wars weekend for you and your family:

GeekMom received a promotional copy of The Empire Strikes Back on Google Play for the purpose of this post.
