If you missed last year’s Star Wars Day, here’s your chance. And for those who did join us for this geek-tastic day last time around, Esprimo and Singapore’s Star Wars fans are bringing even more great stuff that any Star Wars fan is sure to go crazy for.

Star Wars Day, a.k.a May the 4th, will be celebrated this year at the F1 Pit Building with a two-day festival for the second year running, with the MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU festival culminating in the Star Wars Run 2018.

We’re holding a giveaway for tickets for the run, so be sure to sign up quick! The event will be jam-packed with activities celebrating the fantastic series from that galaxy far, far away.

Here are just some of the events lined up for you:

1. Meet Albin Johnson and Pink Astromech R2-KT

Don’t miss this chance to meet the founder of the 501st Legion, the international Star Wars costuming organisation. Albin will be roaming around the festival from 4pm on May 4th and from 2pm on May 5th. This is his first-ever visit to Southeast Asia so don’t miss this opportunity!

Accompanying him is a little pink astromech droid, built by the R2 Builder’s Club in honor of his late daughter Katie, who was diagnosed with brain cancer. Inspired by how R2-D2 cared for Padme in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, he designed KT to watch over Katie. KT is now a symbol of Albin’s efforts to spread awareness of paediatric illness. R2-KT is also famous in her own right, too, as she appeared in a cameo in The Force Awakens!

2. Special Edition Merchandise

Here’s another chance that you can’t miss. There will be limited collectibles and merchandise designed for this event for sale, including the Star Wars Run umbrella, electronic lightsabers, special edition pins and Solo: A Star Wars Story Golden Village Collectible Movie Card Combo.
