If you are a fan of the Star Wars movie series, this is your chance to live out your fantasy as a Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Obi-Wan-Kenobe, Jar Jar Binks, Han Solo or Darth Vader at the Lego Star Wars Day celebration.  Legoland Malaysia Resort invites fans of Star Wars in Malaysia and Singapore to come dressed in costumes and be with them in the Force to celebrate their annual Lego Star Wars Day.

The celebrations kick off on May 3 & 4 with an event that features a special parade by fans of Lego and Star Wars.  Various groups of Star Wars fans will lead the Imperial March from the Legoland Hotel to the Lego Star Wars Miniland model display in the theme park.  More than 50 fans are expected to take part in the march, scheduled for 10.15am.

LOM LUG, a leading Lego fan group in Malaysia, held a competition from January to March for Lego and Star Wars fans in Asia where participants submitted their own Star Wars themed Lego model creations.  The three competition categories are Kidz Builder for participants aged 9 and below, Junior Builder for ages 10 to 15 and Master Builder for participants aged 16 and above.  The winners of this competition will be announced during the event held in the theme park on May 4 and the winning creations will be displayed in the park till August 2015.

“We are honoured to be able to support and engage with Lego fans for this activity,” said Legoland Malaysia Resort General Manager, Mark Germyn.  He said Legoland Malaysia Resort is a natural choice with its one-of-a-kind Lego Star Wars Miniland model display.  This will be the first time for the resort to celebrate the annual Lego Star Wars Day in such a huge way.  “As 2015 is the Year of Festivals for Malaysia, this is a great event for visitors to include in their travel diary this May,” he added.
