Why Star Wars fans HAVE to be at the Star Wars Run 2018!

Since its first movie in 1977, Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, STAR WARS has amassed a huge fan following from all over the world.

As a tribute to the iconic brand, fans unite annually on May the 4th – a date derived from the iconic phrase “May the Force Be With You” – to celebrate STAR WARS.

In Singapore, local event organiser Esprimo and STAR WARS fans, with the support of Singapore Tourism Board will come together as one and commemorate May the 4th at the second edition of STAR WARS DAY: MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU Festival at the F1 Pit Building.

Fans can look forward to meeting the founder of 501st Legion, Albin Johnson and his pink astromech droid R2-KT, band performances by fan group “Dark Empire”, costume fan appearances, movie under the stars, and much more!
