    501st Flashmobs: You never know when or where the 501st might appear during the convention recreating some of your favorite scenes from the Star Wars universe. Keep your cameras ready and watch out for stray blaster bolts!
    Locations: Throughout Convention Center
    Hours: During Convention Hours

    The 501st Droid Hunt (sponsored by Del Rey Books): Pick up your complimentary "Droid Badge" at the 501st Experience room (while supplies last) and prepare to be caught and interrogated by Imperial troops as they compete against one another to recover as many "stolen droids" as possible. Some fans will receive a Jedi Mind Trick card to extend their gameplay, but everyone gets a prize just for playing! Complete rules available at 501st.com/droidhunt and at the 501st information booth.
    Locations: Badge pick-up at 501st Experience room. Gameplay throughout convention center.
    Hours: TBA

    Troop-Athlon: In the tradition of the historic games that make heroes out of some and humiliate others, the 501st puts an Imperial spin on competition between its own costumed members as we ask the question "What can't you do in armor?" Returning for Celebration V is the 501st Legion Troop-Athlon! The Troop-Athlon pits fully armored troops from around the world against each other in a head to head test of their athleticism, accuracy, and mental acuity. Bring your cameras to this family friendly event: there will be plenty of blaster fire, flying ewoks, and Stormtroopers on Segways!
    Locations: TBA
    Hours: TBA

    Photo Scavenger Hunt: Got a camera? Want to win prizes from the 501st? Stop by the 501st Experience room and pick up a photo scavenger hunt checklist and then submit your photos by August 22, 2010 to be eligible for some cool collectibles. Complete rules available at the 501st information booth.
    Locations: Throughout Convention Center
    Hours: During Convention Hours
