Imperial Stormtroopers crossing 32nd St. in Taguig, the Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer being projected off the side of a building, fighting Jedi Knights, and just many, many toys and Star Wars memorabilia to make any Star Wars fan happy. That’s how Globe and Disney decided to kick off its Star Wars mania over at Bonifacio High Street Central last night for the Globe-Star Wars Galactic Celebration.
This weekend, Globe’s partnership with Disney is taking Star Wars fever to its highest level as the movie will premiere next Thursday, December 17th. All weekend the Star Wars play hub will be free for the public and the center for all things related to the galaxy far, far away. From toys to apparel to challenges and games, you’ll get to see them all and even share your love with fellow fans.
The two-day galactic fair won’t just have merchandise for sale. There will also be a Galactic Challenge, a specially-designed obstacle course that tests your “skill, insight, and courage.” Those who want to take on the challenge can chose from two categories: Light Side or Dark Side. Globe will be awarding best finish times every hour and the one with the fastest time overall gets a Sphere BB-8 droid. Aside from the challenge, there’s also a Game Hub that plays hosts to the Star Wars Battlepod arcade game; Sphero Challenge, where kids or kids at heart can navigate the BB-8 droid through a maze to win prizes.
And as mentioned, there are also exclusive Star Wars merch from the likes of Havaianas, Folded & Hung, HP, FilBars, Toys ‘R Us, and Hobbes and Landes. So, if you have nothing better to do this weekend or just want to revel and celebrate the beloved franchise, now’s your chance! Just head over to Bonifacio High Street Central.
