Our local Barnes and Noble had Star Wars day a few Saturdays ago. There were MANY characters, all volunteers, who dressed up and roamed around the store, posing for pictures and answering questions. There was a scavenger hunt where each child had to find the 6 stations around the bookstore, using the given clues. Upon earning a sticker for finding each station, each kid got a prize and was entered into a drawing for other prizes. My kids had a FANTASTIC time on this day!!!
Making Yoda stick puppets in the kid's section
Posing with some bounty hunters, their weapons made realistic sounds. And they had really awesome costumes. I think it was a father/daughter duo.
Posing with the big man himself. The sounds that this guy made were just like the Darth Vader breathing sounds in the movies. Eerie!!
Posing with R2-D2. This was a droid built by a man, over the course of 2 years (yikes) that was controlled with a remote. The dome of the head moves around in a 360 and he lights up and makes all the sounds that the movie version does. He can also move all over the store with the remote. This was probably the most impressive character we saw.
Posing with a Sand Woman. She didn't say anything.
Another awesome photo with Boba Fett. A favorite character with my kids.
