Calling all Star Wars fanatics! Head to Legoland Malaysia where they’re celebrating Jedi knights and Stormtroopers alike from now until May 13.
For those who aren’t familiar, May the 4th is the annual celebration of all things Star Wars and Legoland Malaysia is doing it in a big way.
By big, we do mean big–you can expect a whole assortment of Star Wars related activities in the theme park, the biggest one is the LEGO Star Wars Speed Build Challenge as the winners stand a limited-edition LEGO Star Wars 75192 Millennium Falcon set worth more than S$1,200 that’s autographed by the original designer–Hans Burkhard Schlomer!
So how do you enter this contest? Join as a family of two to four people and challenge yourself to build the LEGO Star Wars model that is displayed for the challenge fast as possible. The fastest daily will win LEGO Star Wars products and for the grand prize, that goes to the fastest group from all the days.
Here’s what else you can expect from the festivities:
Largest Imperial March in the Region
This is definitely one for the fans as they get to see their favourite characters come to life. Close to 100 costumed fan groups will be dressed in their Star Wars best to wander about the park and meet-and-greet Star Wars fans. Do note that this is only on April 28 and 29. Don’t fret though you miss it as there will also be the:
