The
Powerhouse Museum at 500 Harris St, Ultimo is going to be a hub of activity filled with Star Wars die-hard fans for the
ultimate weekend on Saturday 5 May: 9am – 6pm (all ages), 7pm – 10pm (adults only), and Sunday 6 May: 9am – 6pm (all ages).
Tickets are $15 adults, $8 concession, Members and children under 16 free with a reserved ticket.
Bookings are essential , even for the children who go free. Celebrating the annual 'May the 4th Be With You' fan day,
MAAS (Museum of Applied Arts & Sciences) and
Walt Disney Company Australia invite you to come to the Ultimate Fan Weekend dressed as your favourite Star Wars character to celebrate the day. Prizes will be on offer as part of the costume competitions as follows.
Kids (under 16) costume comp - 12.40pm Saturday & Sunday
Adult costume comp - 1pm Saturday & Sunday; 8pm Saturday
The cockpit of a 1:1 scale X-wing Resistance fighter awaits for you to explore the Star Wars universe throughout the Museum with Jedi Training, character appearances, costume competitions, augmented reality experiences, coding workshops, games and more. This ultimate experience will spill out onto the forecourt of the Museum and into the evening when the Museum is open for an adults-only evening on the Saturday.
Other highlights include an augmented reality lightsaber duel and you'll get a chance to hone your technique and don training robes with Jedi Experience. Head to the Droid Repair Bay and repair some in a virtual reality story. Bring them to life with hands-on Sphero coding classes. Don't forget to
sign up on the day for coding workshops and costume competitions. MAAS has a collection of Star Wars collector's items for you to salivate over, and you can join talks and panels with Star Wars fans and commentators.
Times are yet to be confirmed, so be sure to keep an eye on the
event page closer to date.
Screenings of both fan-made and official Star Wars content will be available for viewing as there will be life-size character statues (including Chewbacca) for you to capture a selfie with on the day. Let loose your kids in a space-themed playground, plus more to look forward to. As mentioned above, check for announcements closer to date.
