Like many of you, my partner and I enjoy watching movies. Every now and then (especially for movies we’ve seen several times before), we play a drinking game. Normally, we just look up rules online, but sometimes we find them lackluster. Last weekend, we drew inspiration from the Internet, tweaked a few rules, and made up our own Star Wars: Episode IX: Rise of Skywalker drinking game!

Rules:

NOTE: I define a “drink” in this context as a sip of a drink, not downing a whole one!

Regular Mode:

During the movie, take a drink whenever:

  • Someone goes to a new planet.
  • Anyone mentions Luke.
  • Someone tries spinning as a good trick.
  • Someone repeats a line for comedy.
  • Reylo happens.
  • A character is sidelined.
  • John Williams has a cameo (there’s just one, but his music elevates this film)!
  • Babu Frik says “HEY HEEEEEY!”

At the end of the movie, take a shot to:

  • Honor all the great acting despite the bad plot.
  • Honor John Williams’s score for the sequel trilogy.

HARD MODE:

All of the stuff from Regular Mode, PLUS:

During the movie, take a drink whenever:

  • There’s involuntary spinning.
  • A ship blows up.
  • There should have been a Wilhelm Scream.
  • There’s a missed opportunity.
  • Rey uses the Force.

At the end of the movie, take a shot to:

  • Honor all the missed opportunities in the film.
