THE Force was strong with the Kingfisher Shopping Centre last Saturday, May 4th as it was transformed into every Star Wars’ collectors’ dream.
Thousands from all over the country came to see the biggest Star Wars trading convention in Europe.
The ‘Echo Base Live’ event offered a huge range of vintage and modern collectible items – some worth more than £1,500 – for fans to purchase.
Brockhill resident James Iles, who visited with his three children Harry, Luke and Beatrice, said: “I’ve never been before but it was a great experience and the kids loved it.”
Special guest appearances on the day included Star Wars actors Hugh Spight, John Mogridge, Trevor Butterfield, Gerald Home, Simon Williamson and Palitoy’s Bob Brechin who spoke with fans and signed posters.
