I suspect this will be only of interest to a minority of people on here (ie those who live in the UK), but it is great news nonetheless. On the 22nd & 23rd May, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Empire Strikes Back release, the National Space Centre is hosting the “The Garrison Strikes Back” Star Wars weekender. This is, as one might expect, frakking awesome news.
The National Space Centre’s previous sci-fi themed Movie Mania Weekends have been awesome, and the level of detail that the 501st Garrison put into their costumes is amazing. Die hard sci-fi fans be warned, this is a sci-fi event aimed at families so some of the past Q&A’s did focus on this. At the previous Movie Mania weekends, I have met Jeremy “Boba Fett” Bulloch, and Trevor “Pvt Wierzbowski” Steedman, who were both incredibly cool.
