The unofficial Star Wars drinking game rules
3It’s May the 4th and you feel obliged to celebrate by marathoning all seven episodes of Star Wars within 24 hours. Great! You are not alone! But even with moral support, this quest won’t be easy. You’ll need something to keep you attentive and awake. Like a drinking game!
It just so happens that we’ve assembled the rules for such a game. That being said, nowhere in this intro are we condoning drinking alcohol. We’re simply suggesting you and some friends grab a couple bottles of Fruitopia and have some safe, sober fun. Remember to always drink Fruitopia responsibly.
Rules are as follows:
Drink:
Whenever you see a wipe transition
Any time a character mentions The Force
Whenever someone says "I’ve got a bad feeling about this"
Any time a Skywalker whines
Whenever the Millennium Falcon doesn’t jump to lightspeed as expected
Whenever you hear the Wilhelm Scream
Whenever the numbers "1138" or "2187" are referenced
Whenever Darth Vader force-chokes someone
Whenever The Imperial March plays
Take a shot:
Whenever Greedo shoots first (Why are you watching this version, anyway? You must be punished. DOUBLE SHOT.)
Whenever a large, spherical space weapon is obliterated by upstart forces
When anyone says "It’s a trap!"
Whenever a Force Ghost appears / is heard
Whenever somebody has their hand / arm chopped off
When anyone screams "Noooooooo!"
If these rules aren’t enough you can go all-out with our extended version, complete with useless CG characters:
Drink:
Whenever someone turns a lightsaber on or off
Anytime someone does an unnecessary flip
Whenever tractor beams are used
Whenever a random, unnecessary CG character shows up in the Special Editions (Warning: to avoid dangerous levels of Fruitopication, please only implement this rule with a safety guide present.)
Take a shot:
Every time Jar-Jar steps in poop
When anyone says "midichlorians"
Anytime characters enter a wacky space bar
