TORUN, Poland ? July 7th, 2009 ? StarForce 2009 Convention Celebrates 30 Years of Star Wars in Poland
Today we are thrilled to announce the ultimate Polish Star Wars event. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Star Wars in Poland, the StarForce 2009 convention will be filled with out-of-this-world attractions and guest appearances.
Although George Lucas's classic "Star Wars" premiered in USA in 1977, it wasn't until 1979 that fans from Poland were able to see it in local cinemas. Full of dazzling special effects and fairy-tale romance, this unique movie immediately captured the imagination of Polish science-fiction and fantasy fans.
The StarForce 2009 convention will commemorate this special anniversary. On September 12th the forces of light and darkness, Rebellion and Empire, Jedi and Sith, will descent upon the streets of the medieval city of Torun. Here, the historical atmosphere of the Old Town is set against the modern interior of the "Znaki Czasu" Centre of Contemporary Art, where the majority of highlights of the event will take place.
The StarForce 2009 logo was designed by Adam Szary. Click on the pic for the full view.
