It’s May the 4th, and Generation Skywalker is throwing our second ever Geeki Tiki Party!

We’re joined by special guest Brandon Giraldez, founder of Beeline Creative—the masterminds behind Geeki Tiki—as we celebrate not only Star Wars Day, but also the 10th anniversary of Geeki Tiki. Brandon arrives with a punch bowl full of surprises, revealing a wave of brand-new Star Wars Geeki Tiki mugs exclusively on Generation Skywalker you won’t want to miss.

The team also unveils the official Generation Skywalker Top 10 Star Wars Geeki Tikis, following on from last week’s committee episode- Will Brandon agree with our choices?

We also revisit our very first Tiki Party from December 2022 to see if any of our original mug pitches have made their way into development… and of course, we couldn’t resist pitching Brandon a few brand-new ideas while we had him!

And no tiki celebration would be complete without raising a glass to Craig—the man who first introduced Generation Skywalker to the wonderful world of Geeki Tiki in our early days.

So grab your favourite Tiki mug, pour yourself something tropical, and join us for a Star Wars Day celebration like no other.

Cheers—and May the 4th be with you!
