Some important and wonderful news to share with you today. This Friday (12/19) is the 5th annual Wear Star Wars, Share Star Wars Day; a wonderful event that affirms that Star Wars is for EVERYONE regardless of gender, age, race, religion or other background. Its also an opportunity to provide a young girl or boy with a gift during this season of giving. Participating is easy: 1. Wear something Star Wars or science fiction-related on December 19. 2. Donate a Star Wars or science fiction toy to a child in need (place a post-it note on the new, unwrapped toy specifying that it can go to a girl or a boy). You can bring the toy to a hospital, a shelter or drop it off with any charitable organization collecting toys. Even if circumstances prevent you from donating - we still encourage you to wear your favorite Star Wars attire Friday and help foster a more inclusive community. As fans we have a responsibility to welcome and encourage new fans and when even one person is marginalized or hurt, it affects all of us. The Star Wars community is one giant family, if you love Star Wars, we love you. Nothing else should matter. For more background on Wear Star Wars, Share Star Wars, check out this article from the The Huffington Post , written by Carrie Goldman, mother of Katie, whose experiences with bullying over her love of #StarWars sparked an international response. So what @StarWars outfit will you be wearing on Friday? #WearStarWars2014 #StarWars
