Star Wars: A New Hope Drinking Game + Cocktail

Share:

A long time ago in a bar far, far away — the Force demands you drink.

The Rules

  • Sip — Ben Kenobi says 'the Force' to explain something Luke could not understand otherwise
  • Sip — C-3PO lists the odds of survival and R2-D2 beeps a retort
  • Sip — Han Solo leans back in the Falcon cockpit like he owns every room he enters
  • Sip — Grand Moff Tarkin clasps his hands behind his back and gives an order coldly
  • Sip — Luke Skywalker stares at the twin suns of Tatooine with John Williams swelling
  • Drink Twice — Darth Vader force-chokes an Imperial officer who disappoints him
  • Drink Twice — The Millennium Falcon makes a jump to hyperspace with a star-streak effect
  • Drink Twice — The Death Star's superlaser charges and fires at a planet or ship
  • Shot — Ben Kenobi stands down and lets Darth Vader cut him down in the hangar bay
  • Shot — Darth Vader's TIE Fighter spins away after Han Solo blasts it from behind
  • Chug — The medal ceremony — Luke, Han, and Chewie walk down the aisle to the main theme
