ANYTHING ELSE:
We are celebrating the 40th anniversary of Star Wars by creating an interactive exhibit. It will be on the main show hall floor, as part of our arcade. We'll have dozens of console systems ranging from the Atari 2600 to the Original Xbox. Each of those systems will be set up with a specific Star Wars game. So attendees can go from station to station to explore the Star Wars universe through gaming. We'll also have Star Wars arcade cabinets and pinball machines too! We're hoping have the support of the 501st to create an immersive Star Wars environment for our attendees.
UPDATE: All volunteers will be able to get in early, food and beverages will be provided. Many Star Wars games, including Battle Pods-
