Learning Center Activity: Lightsaber Bookmarks

The defense of a Jedi Knight is no mere clumsy or random blaster. It is an elegant tool that can bring hope...or ruin. Rendezvous with the Education team at the Learning Center, as they will demonstrate how to make a lightsaber bookmark of your own design. The time has come to decide—will you bring light or cloak the world in darkness? Good luck, and May the Force be with you!

About Skywalker Vineyards

George Lucas’ visionary brilliance transitions seamlessly from screen to a vineyard panoramic where he has assembled the ultimate cast; including world-class winemakers, wineries in California and Italy which are ripe with potential, and an architectural vernacular that ties everything together in an unrivaled wine experience.

Skywalker Vineyards began two decades ago at Skywalker Ranch, but the genesis of Lucas’ vintner dreams can be traced back to his childhood in Modesto, California. Surrounded by vineyards—the fragrance of fermenting grapes permeating the air—the small Central Valley community was imbued with the culture of grape growing and winemaking.

About Perfect Pairing

Raise your glass to a new film series at The Walt Disney Family Museum, Perfect Pairing, where we match a Californian wine, beer, or spirit with classic and contemporary Disney films. Join us in our Fantasia-themed theater for an exploration of locally made beverages and delicious treats provided by Peter's Kettle Corn paired to complement the settings, themes, and characters of our monthly selected film. Tickets include the film screening, one beverage, and light snacks. Additional beverages can be purchased separately.
