TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Darth Vader and other characters from “Star Wars” will bring the Force to The University of Alabama for a sales event from 1 to 4 p.m.. Tuesday, Feb. 24, at UA’s SupeStore in the Ferguson Center.
The event is open to the public.
Plans call for volunteers from local “Star Wars” clubs to portray Darth Vader, storm troopers, a pilot and a Jedi knight. The characters will sign autographs, and a professional photographer will be available to take photos of characters with customers. The SupeStore staff will post the photos on the store’s Facebook page later in the day.
In addition, the SupeStore is offering a collection of the officially licensed UA “Star Wars” T-shirts and other “Star Wars”- related merchandise.
After the SupeStore event, fans can see their favorite characters again before the Alabama men’s basketball game versus South Carolina in Coleman Coliseum. Doors open at 4:30 p.m.
