To promote the event, members of the Las Vegas Star Wars Collective, a nonprofit group of volunteers who dress in screen-accurate Star Wars costumes to spread joy throughout the valley. Emmeline Deville, one of the collective’s members, shared how meaningful it is to visit children in local hospitals, hand out toys, and bring a little light to both the kids and their families.
The group has a busy weekend ahead; they’ll be visiting hospitals on Friday for May the Fourth be With You, a Star Wars celebration, and even appearing at the Las Vegas Aviators game on Saturday.
