My husband and I are huge Star Wars fans. We’re not totally fanatical about the movie series some some die hard fans are, but we do love the series and watch it every chance we get. We can pretty much talk right along with the characters in the movie and often quote lines from the movie.
We have even gone so far as to name two of our cats after Star Wars characters. We have a cat named Anakin and another named Padmé. Our dog was almost named Obi after Obi Wan Kenobi. 🙂
Coming to theaters is the first film in the series, like you never have before. It’s going to be in 3D!
I saw parts VI, V and VI in the theaters when I was a young girl. I never saw the prequels in the theaters. I think it would be pretty cool to see them on the big screen too. And in 3D! I can’t imagine how awesome the movie would be. I already love all the movies. I just think seeing them in 3D would be beyond cool.
This February, General Mills Big G cereals want to help celebrate the 3D launch by featuring collectible Star Wars pens in-pack of participating cereals. They are fun pens too. We have six of them – Anakin, Obi Wan, Yoda, Jar Jar, Yoda and Darth Maul.
There are eight exclusive Star Wars pens to collect including the ones I have (mentioned above) and Queen Amidala, R2D2 and C3PO.
You can find these pens inside participating cereals which include Cinnamon Toast Crunch (12.8 oz.), Lucky Charms(11.5 oz. – My favorite!), Reese’s Puffs (13 oz.), Cheerios (14 oz. – a family favorite), and Cookie Crisp (11.25 oz).
Each Big G cereal is made with whole grain and is an excellent source of calcium, so your younglings will have everything they need to start the day off right!
May the force and a tasty breakfast be with you.
The move is already in theaters (it opened on February 10, 2012).
I have a special giveaway for a lucky reader that include:
– 2 Boxes of Big G cereal
– 4 Star Wars character pens
– Star Wars sticker sheet
– Star Wars magnets
The giveaway is compliments of My Blog Spark and General Mills.
To enter please comment on which is your favorite movie in the Star Wars series – or – which is your favorite Star Wars character (it doesn’t have to be a pen character either).

Personally, I love the fifth movie the most of all. Because of mainly the beginning when they’re on Hoth. I have action figures and Legos of the battle scene-the Lego one even has the full Hoth Base which I should put on YouTube. And my favorite character is Yoda because hes the wisest of them all and he old but can do flips. But anyways it makes me excited that your whole family likes Star Wars because that doesn’t happen a lot-I’m the only one in my family. Thanks for the Grneral Mills now topic I have five pens now!
