February – Starship Maintenance

Taking care of your starship is super important! If you watch any of the Star Wars movies or shows, you’ll probably see someone doing some maintenance or repairs on a ship at some point! Han Solo’s Millennium Falcon is notorious for breaking down at the worst possible time, he and Chewie are always fixing something!  A starship is both a vehicle and a home for many people in the Star War universe. Just like they have to keep their ships up and running, we have to take care of our vehicles and homes, to make sure they are working correctly!

Challenge:
Starship Maintenance

Novice:
Find a time in a Star Wars movie or show where someone is doing maintenance or repairs on a starship. See if you can hear them say what part of the ship they are working on, or if they name a tool they are using. Reach out to the Strill Battalion Sergeant (strill@verdikacorps.com) if you are having trouble finding something, and we can send you some hints.

Journeyman:
A starship is both a vehicle and a home in the Star War universe. Just like our own vehicles and homes, we need to take care of them to make sure they are working correctly! Ask an adult or parent about a time they had to perform a repair or do maintenance on their vehicle or home. Ask them what they were fixing, and what tools they needed to get the job done.

Expert:
Ask an adult or parent if there are any small repairs that are needed around your home, or with a vehicle. If there is anything you can safely assist with, help them get it done! Be sure to use all proper protective gear, and to be safe using any tools that are needed. If there is nothing that needs to be repaired, help with cleaning an area of your home or a vehicle. Keeping your starship tidy is also a very important part of making sure everything runs well, and to make sure you are organized before your next adventure!
