In a theater not so far, far away on February 10th, is the theatrical re-release of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace in 3D.
In honor of 3D Phantom Menace's debut on the big screen, Ripley's Believe It or Not! museum in Times Square is throwing one of their critically acclaimed "Slumber Fests" and, to the tune of a unanimous nerd squee across the entire east coast, they're doing it Star Wars style!
The Star Wars Sleepover will take place on February 10th, 2012 (the same day as the re-release of the movie, pretty cool huh!) and will begin at 7pm and end at 8am the next morning. The event is suitable for children ages 6 and up, but I would imagine the guest list will probably include a lot less kids and a whole slew of "adult children." One adult (over age 21) is required for every four children attending.
So, bust out those ratty Chewbacca slippers Star Wars fans and get ready for an exciting evening of Princess Leia bun braiding, bad Yoda impressions and lots of Darth Maul double-bladed light saber sparring.
Okay, so I don't know if any inter-galactic braiding or Jedi pillow fights will actually take place at the event, I'm just assuming they will. Along with the obligatory slumber party activities such as slathering sleeping friends in shaving cream, hiding wet bras in the freezer and playing Girl Talk until 3:00 in the morning.
Official Slumber Fest activities include Yoda Mask Making, Wookie Cookie Decorating, Puppet Making, Games and Prizes. Participants will also get to meet the Star Wars Characters themselves from 7pm-9pm. All guests need to bring is a sleeping bag, pillow, pajamas, flashlight, and their curiosity.
Admission to Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Star Wars Sleep Over is $145 per person which also includes admission to Ripley’s Odditoriom; access to Ripley’s Impossible LaseRace™; dinner, breakfast and snacks...AND movie tickets to Star Wars: Episode I in 3D.
Despite the humdrum performance of mini Anakin Skywalker Jake Lloyd and the recurring annoyance of Jar Jar, watching Star Wars on the big screen is an opportunity not to be missed by die hard fans and neither is a giant slumber party in Times Square. My only hope is that Ripley's throws a party for the re-release of episodes 2-6 as well.
