“A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away….” So begins the opening crawl of the famed STAR WARS films. In anticipation of the next installment of the wildly popular film series, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, opening in theaters on December 15, NAU Bookstore will host an event promoting Star Wars books, pens, plush toys, tumblers and crafts.

Come see the North Wind Light Saber Club demonstrate their best moves in costume. Get your picture taken in a cut-out of classic Star Wars characters, or come in costume as your favorite Star Wars villain or hero. Visit Chewbacca for “Wookie Life Advice.” Learn how to speak like Yoda. Get your face painted to resemble your favorite Star Wars character, or get a Star Wars “tattoo” on your hand or arm. We will also have Star Wars coloring pages, puzzles and games, as well.

For those who want to add to their Star Wars collections or purchase early Christmas gifts, we will have a coupon for $5 off  any purchase of over $25 in Trade books, non-emblematic gift items, etc. (Does not include textbooks, apparel, emblematic merchandise or tech items).
