If you’ve got a kid who loves lightsabers, droids, and really bad (but really funny) puns, then you’re in luck—because this list of Star Wars jokes for kids is about to blast off. I mean, what’s better than a solid joke about the Force? Nothing. Except maybe a plate of Wookiee cookies. (Which, by the way, I have burned. Twice.)
I’ve tested these jokes on an actual child (my nephew, age six, professional giggler), and I can confirm: They work. Even if you’re a full-grown Jedi Master or a Sith Lord in disguise, you’ll probably crack a smile, too. Or at least a polite chuckle. So, grab your lightsaber (or your coffee), and let’s jump to hyperspace—straight into the land of terrible, wonderful Star Wars jokes.
Why Star Wars Jokes for Kids Just… Work
Let’s be real. Some jokes are just chef’s kiss when it comes to Star Wars. Why? Because the galaxy far, far away is packed with characters who are already a little ridiculous. Yoda speaks in backwards riddles, Chewbacca sounds like my blender trying to crush ice, and stormtroopers—bless them—couldn’t hit a target if their life depended on it.
Plus, kids love anything that makes Darth Vader seem less terrifying. (“Dad, tell the one about Darth Vader’s favorite breakfast again!”) And honestly, so do I. Anything to make that breathing sound a little less nightmare-inducing.
Jedi, Sith, and All Their Weird Friends
Alright, let’s get into it. Here are some Star Wars jokes for kids that’ll have even the grumpiest bounty hunter snorting blue milk out their nose.
💫 Why did Anakin Skywalker cross the road?
To get to the Dark Side. (Too soon?)
💫 How does Darth Vader like his toast?
A little on the dark side. (Predictable? Yes. Still funny? Absolutely.)

A Sith-ing duck.

Because they prefer to use the Force.
Droids, Ships, and the Worst Pilots Ever

Wookiees, Ewoks, and Other Furry Friends

Chopin-wan Kenobi. (A joke for the music nerds.)
The Force, The Galaxy, and the Fact That Everyone Needs a Nap
🌌 Why did the Death Star break up with the Millennium Falcon?
Because it needed space.
🌌 What’s a Jedi’s favorite type of candy?
Life Savers. (Admit it. You love it.)

“Do or do not, there is no try”—except with pizza toppings. Then, you should definitely try.
🌌 Why did Luke Skywalker bring a ladder to the bar?
Because he wanted to go to the High Republic!
How to Use These Star Wars Jokes for Kids
These jokes aren’t just for random giggles (though, obviously, that’s a good reason). They’re perfect for:
🎉 Birthday parties: Tape jokes to balloons. Hide them in gift bags. Write them on name tags. Endless possibilities.
🚗 Long car rides: Make it a game—who can come up with the worst Star Wars pun? Spoiler: It’s probably me.
📚 Lunchbox surprises: Slip a joke into their sandwich bag. Just make sure it’s not an actual paper joke IN the sandwich. (Made that mistake once. Oops.)
🎭 Family game night: Joke duel. Two people tell Star Wars jokes. First to laugh loses. (Or wins? Hard to say.)
Why Star Wars Jokes Are Basically Magic
I don’t know what it is about a good (or absolutely terrible) pun, but they just work—especially when Star Wars is involved. Maybe it’s because the franchise itself doesn’t always take itself seriously. I mean, we’ve got space wizards, moon-sized superweapons, and a frog dude who speaks in riddles. Of course it’s funny.
And honestly? These jokes are a great way to share a little Star Wars magic with the next generation. Whether your kid is a die-hard fan or just learning the difference between a Sith and a Jedi, a well-placed joke can make them love the galaxy even more.
So go ahead—tell one. Or all of them. Just be prepared for some groans. And maybe an eye roll or two. But hey, that’s the sign of a truly great joke, isn’t it
