Starwars.sg and 501st Legion Singapore Garrison will be at Booth B01. Remember to pop by to say hi, and support our fund-raising programmes to benefit Make-A-Wish Foundation® (Singapore).

Wish-upon-the-Stars will feature uniquely decorated Clone Trooper helmets specially customised through the creative and loving touch of Stars ? celebrities, artists and prominent figures. These customised helmets will be on display during STGCC, then auctioned off with proceeds going to Make-A-Wish Foundation®. The Stars will be unveiled at a date closer to STGCC, so watch this space and http://wish.starwars.sg for updates.

Also, visit our booth to have your Star Wars themed photo taken and do your part for Make-A-Wish Foundation®. For a minimum donation amount, whip out your camera and have your photo taken on the set with Imperial troopers and R2-D2. Donate a little more and we print it for you PLUS free frame while stocks last.

Yes, STGCC will see the very first public appearance of our local working unit of R2-D2, the ever popular astromech droid from the Star Wars movies. You read that correctly... WORKING R2-D2 ! presented by Starwars.sg and R2 Builders Club.

And of course, you will feel the Imperial presence with Vader and the Imperial troopers of the 501st Legion Singapore Garrison. Don't miss the Imperial March on Saturday morning, and interact with the troopers in the Droid Hunt activities that will be held over the weekend.
