Fans of a galaxy far, far away can celebrate Star Wars Day Sunday at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, which is hosting a daylong lineup of themed activities for visitors of all ages.
The event, titled “A Day of Celebrating the Force,” begins at 11 a.m. and features hands-on workshops, cosplay-themed science activities and meet-and-greets with fan-built droids, including R2-D2 and BB-8.
“Whether you’re a Padawan, Jedi, or Sith, we have a good feeling about this day full of Star Wars-themed fun at the museum,” officials said.
Visitors can take part in crafting sessions to create Star Wars-inspired items such as origami characters and puppets, while scientists in costume will lead interactive STEM activities focused on space and environmental conservation.
“Through immersive activities perfect for any kind of Jedi, our visiting experts will also stress the importance of environmental conservation in every corner of the universe,” museum officials said.
Droid meet-and-greet sessions are scheduled throughout the day in the museum’s Sidney Poitier Grand Lobby, with some activities available without a general admission ticket, according to organizers.
The museum will close at 6 p.m., followed by a 7 p.m. screening of “Star Wars: Episode V — The Empire Strikes Back” in the David Geffen Theater, featuring an in-person appearance by actor Billy Dee Williams.
Organizers said activities are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and guests in costume must follow museum guidelines, including restrictions on props and face coverings.
