Disney PR sent over some more info about their latest products and some great images. We saw most of it already via a great report at Yakface.com but still wanted to share it again for our readers who may not have seen the report there:
On May the Fourth, Guests will be introduced (or perhaps, re-introduced) to the story and characters of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. In-Store events and an exciting Disney Store-exclusive product launch are in the works.
For starters, the first 100 Guests who visit the Store will receive a Limited Edition Star Wars pin perfect for starting or adding to an existing collection.
Then, kids ages 3 and up are invited to learn about the “Ways of the Force” where they can:
Discover the Jedi Mind Trick and learn how Obi-Wan Kenobi uses it to serve the greater good, Master a Lightsaber through hands-on training , Help Luke Skywalker destroy the Death Star through an interactive experience on the Media Wall and Participate in a Medal of Bravery Ceremony
But that’s not all! Throughout May, Guests will be introduced to characters from the classic film with a collectible trading cards giveaway each week, available while supplies last. Best of all, May 4 will celebrate the launch of Disney Store-exclusive Star Wars merchandise.
