Buying Star Wars Lego can be an expensive habit, but if you can construct your own Cantina then you have not only successfully killed a fair amount of time but also saved yourself a pretty penny.
Write some lyrics for John Williams' theme tune and sing them at your co-workers
Star Wars, we all love Star Wars! We all love Star Wars! But not Jar Jar Binks. (repeat) .
He's the worst, the doo doo stepping worst thing we've ever seen, as you crushed our dreams of prequel Star Wars. Then you went, and made Darth Vader into a pesky kid and you even made our favourite robot fly!
Over to you, lyrical masters...
Watch all of the theatrical trailers for all the films and score them out of 10
YouTube : https://youtu.be/vZ734NWnAHA
Yeah, so we went back and checked out what we thought were sure to be the most thrilling trailers ever assembled, and then we remembered that trailers were clearly not all that important to anybody back in the 80s.
Aside from the most recent Force Awakens trailer, your likely winner will be Attack of the Clones. Here's our take (complete with YouTube links), so while away a few minutes grading the past.
Read the officially official books in the new canon universe
The decision to throw out a load of the stuff around the outside and focus on the core is a time-honoured tradition in many of our favourite fictional Universes. So what constitutes canon and what has been fired out of a cannon?
Star Wars has a raft of new books that are officially official and help to fill in some of the gaps between films (including the big one between the end of ROTJ and TFA).
Some of them are a bit, well, shoddy and unfortunately none of them are brave enough to pretend the prequels actually happened in a completely different Galaxy much much further away. Oh well...
Watch the films in the Machete order
We've been doing it wrong essentially since the 80s. Of *course* we should have left the big reveal that Vader is Luke's dad and gone away to understand how this is the case. The machete order rights this wrong, chucking out The Phantom Menace and giving you a whole new way of enjoying the Star Wars story.
Start with A New Hope, then Empire, then dust off those old prequels, stick the first one in the Blu-ray Bin and watch Episodes II and III before heading back for Jedi to wrap up this quintology in fine fashion.
When we've watched the new films - give us about a decade or so here - we'll be bringing you an even better order, so stay tuned.
Check out the YouTube video 'What if Star Wars I was good' and develop your own theory
The video of how one fan would have done the prequels has been watched a lot of times, and the idea of re-pointing the whole thing around Obi Wan makes a lot of sense. But if you were reimagining the prequels, how would you do it?
We don't want to influence you unduly, but it's perfectly okay to do without a Gungan clown and to forgo any jokes about stepping in poo.
