Our friend Rick sent over news of an upcoming anniversary screening of The Empire Strikes Back:
"Rebel legion, the 501st and the local Star Wars Fan club are presenting Australia's most prestigious Star Wars event for 2010,
Celebrating the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back on October 23rd in Melbourne, Australia
- Costume / formal - Full scale props built by the 501st & Rebel Legion - Great food and music - Out of this world entertainment - Silent Auction including stuff from CV - Gifts
Seating is limited so do not underestimate the power of the force, Tickets 60% sold, purchase from http://www.empire30th.com
Every ticket helps us support TLC for kids, a very worthwhile charity that helps sick children and their families. http://www.tlcforkids.org.au
UPDATE: Before we get to the update, please note that I've changed the title of the post to reflect that the event is a charity dinner and not a screening of TESB. That being said, here is the update from our friend Rick...
"Gala Charity Dinner tickets close on the 12th October for the event over 80% sold
- 3 course dinner - Costume / formal ball - Full scale props - Great food and music - Out of this world entertainment - Silent Auction"
Thanks to Rick for the update and we wish the organizers a successful event for a good cause.
