On May the 4th, the entire galaxy will be celebrating Star Wars Day. This year, local fans will be eagerly gathering at Suntec City of Planet SuntecVIII, from 7 to 16 May 2022.
Based on intel gathered by her informants, Red Dot Diva found out that the Empire is eager to expand and set up a new base. She spotted a team of intimidating Imperial officers, stormtroopers and Mandalorians scouting Planet SuntecVIII a few weeks ago.
The planet is located at a popular trade route, making it home to several equipment yards and food markets. It also has a constant water supply, which, based on local custom, is a symbol of good fortune. And if one decides to let loose for awhile, there is a number of very alien-friendly cantinas to choose from. No wonder the Imperial officers seemed pleased with their scouting mission.
It was not long before Rebel spies noticed the Imperial presence in bustling Suntec City. So, they too arrived at Planet SuntecVIII to see what the Dark Side has been up to.
There have been confrontations as the Jedi quickly sensed where the Dark Side has been lurking. Red Dot Diva sighted one of these lightsaber fights a week ago!
Gather your squad, and get ready for this epic clash between the Light Side and the Dark Side of the Force, with an interesting lineup of activities located around Suntec City.
There will be tons of photo opportunities with costumers as they patrol around Suntec City. You can also enjoy the wide range of Star Wars collectibles, fan art and toys on display. Event exclusive merchandise will be available for purchase as well, with proceeds from the sale going to charity. To add on more skills to your Star Wars fan experience, there are various workshops which you can attend, e.g. building Star Wars-themed terrariums or customising your own Bata sneakers.
Check out the list of events below, so you can plan when visit Suntec City to enjoy the festivities!
