As you all know, we love the Chicago Toy and Game Fair here. I’ve been taking my kids for years. They look forward to it every year. We love this yearly family outing and always come home with games to play! The Chicago Toy and Game Fair isn’t just playing games.
This year, we are surprising the kids with the Star Wars Luncheon! Will is a stormtrooper this Halloween (and last year, he was Darth Vadar), so he is going to flip his lid when he finds out!
Want to join us? Your ticket includes the following:
- Photo opportunities with characters from the Star Wars 501st Legion: Vader’s Fist
- Saturday Admission to the Chicago Toy & Game Fair
- Special prizes and giveaways
- Buffet Lunch
Since we are all parents, I know you want to make sure that there is something on the menu that your kids are going to actually eat. (Can you tell I have a picky kid?) I went and found out for you all exactly what they can get:
- R2D2 Dogs – (Chicago-Style Hot Dogs) – Served on warm poppy seed buns with all the fixings, including ketchup, mustard, relish, diced tomatoes, diced onions, sports peppers, and celery salt
- Chewbacca Nacho Bar – warm cheese sauce, jalapenos, diced green onions, diced tomatoes, and sour cream
- Assorted Jumbo Wookies – chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, and peanut butter
- Darth Brownies (Fudge Brownies)
- Jabba the Punch, Iced Tea and Lemonade
(Fruit Punch)
My picky eater will definitely eat off this menu! Okay, I am going to be honest Bill and I are beyond excited ourselves. Shhh, don’t tell anyone.

Have you been to the Star Wars Luncheon? What part of the Chicago Toy and Game Fair sounds best? What part of the Luncheon would you (or your kids) enjoy the most?
My grandson is crazy for all things Star Wars and he would love attending that luncheon. I sure wish we didn’t live so far away. I know your kids will have a blast.
The Star Wars Luncheon looks really cool. I’ve followed the movie and this is really awesome especially for fans like me.
That sounds like a lot of fun! I would love to go to that event with my kids. I bet they would have had a blast! Those food ideas sound pretty good too 🙂
My son is a die hard Star Wars fan. This would easily put me on the top of the Best Mom Ever list. I wish they had one closer to DC.
Oh my son is SO jealous! He loves Star Wars! If I lived closer I would love to take him to this event!
This looks like so much fun! My daughter isn’t a huge fan, but I am! LOL. I’d go without the kiddo!
I would love to visit a toy fair like this. My kids would really have a blast checking out all the new toys! Thanks for sharing your experience.
What a great idea! My son is 13 and we all three still love this stuff, especially posing with Star Wars characters, that never gets old!
Sounds like such an amazing event, especially love that you might also get to test drive a car.
The Chicage Toy and Game Fair sounds like so much fun. I would love the Inventor Meet and Greet along with the Star Wars Luncheon. My kids would have loved both of these when they were younger and I know my niece’s kids would love both these events. Thanks for sharing the information.
I had no idea this existed. It sounds absolutely amazing! I would be really interested in meeting the BopIt creator!
Wow that is a super time time. Loving all of the Star Wars theme stuff going on 😉
Now that will be a ton of fun! There will be so many things to check out with the kids. The Star Wars luncheon will be an awesome part of this fair.
No way! This is way too cool! I have never heard of the Toy and Game fair but it looks like such a neat event!
This honestly looks like so much fun – I would love to go. So thrilled to see Star Wars back in the mainstream – love the movies!
These are an awesome event. My son would love to see this in live
That toy and game fair sounds really fun. I wish I lived closer so I could go.
I’ve never been to the Chicago Toy and Game Fair! That sounds like loads of fun especially if you take the kids with you! There’s so much to see and they’ll be excited to see all the toys as well.
That Star Wars luncheon looks pretty amazing. This would be so fun to enjoy with my family.
