Get ready for a weekend of cosmic adventures around San Diego County! May the 4th is this Sunday, an officially unofficial celebration of all things Star Wars. From themed events and cosplay contests, to lightsaber battles and special screenings, there’s no shortage of ways to honor the galaxy far, far away.
Plus, the fun kicks off even earlier with Free Comic Book Day on May 3rd — a perfect opportunity to snag exclusive issues and meet fellow fans at comic shops throughout San Diego.
