Star Wars lands in the heart of Orchard Road
ION Orchard will be transformed into a galaxy far, far away in September as the George Lucas space epic is celebrated ahead of its latest episode due later this year.
STAR Wars: The Last Jedi doesn't land in cinemas until mid-December but Singaporeans can feel The Force in advance with the launch of a ten-day event celebrating all things revolving around the hit sci-fi franchise.
At the stroke of midnight on Sept 1, the Star Wars: Experience the Force festival will kick off in conjunction with the worldwide fan fest Star Wars Force Friday II at ION Orchard. Merchandise from the upcoming film will be available for sale before it hits retail stores.
The event will run until Sept 10 with a whole host of pop-up experiences and installations that promise to take visitors on an epic Star Wars journey right in the heart of Orchard Road.
