There are many ways you can go that will bring the theme to light in a way that permits everyone to have fun.
First of all, you could have a classic Star Wars event with the pilot Episodes (IV, V, and VI) showing one after the other throughout the party.
This is perfect for an all night or all day sort of party as it provides breaks in between the showings and loads of time to incorporate some serious snack making or pizza ordering without meddling with the DVDs being shown in the back ground.
If you want to take affairs a step further you can also have your invitees come dressed as their favorite Star Wars characters from all 6 films.
If you are genuinely adventurous you can do a back-to-back showing of all six films though this makes for a very long weekend sort of party.
Perfect if your birthday falls on or around a 3-day weekend such as Labor Day or Memorial Day.
Otherwise it's a great idea but you may want to break it up into 2 years' worth of festivities.
If your friends or your child's friends are an inventive bunch you can have a session where guests speculate and produce tall tales about what happens between Episodes III and IV as well as what occurs to favorite characters after Episode VI.
This is a lot of fun and creates a sort of role-playing atmosphere for the party that can be a vast amount of fun.
If this isn't enough action and you want a little something extra to wear the kids (big or small) out, you might want to invite your guests to a Jedi coaching school of sorts.
Set up an obstacle course for everyone to follow and a series of exercises similar to what Luke went through in The Empire Strikes Back.
The champion can get some Star Wars themed award for laughs and a little added amusement.
