You probably already know that the new Star Wars comes out this week (if you don’t, go buy your tickets now before they sell out completely), but did you know that there are a bunch of other chances this week to prove your Star Wars geek cred? Here they all are:

ALL WEEK
1. Star Wars Gingerbread Houses
Every year, Sheraton Seattle builds an amazing village of gingerbread houses and lets the public in for free. This year, they’ve outdone themselves with a Star Wars theme.

TUESDAY
2. Nerd Nite Seattle: Meow-llennium Falcon Edition
Learn more about the crazy cat lady stereotype (especially useful after the Seattle vs. Portland cat battle we’ve been having) from cultural geographer Will McKeithen, and hear Tomas Lafferriere’s thoughts about the new Star Wars canon.

EverOut is The Stranger's new website devoted to things to do in Seattle and across the Pacific Northwest. It has all the same things you're used to seeing from Stranger EverOut Staff, just in a new spot!...
