Star Wars Day 2016: Master Your Force as a Family at LEGOLAND Malaysia

Free entry for kids. The world’s biggest LEGO Millennium Falcon. A Build-Your-Own starship social media competition. It’s going to be an epic May the 4th for Star Wars fans at LEGOLAND this year. 

May the 4th, known to fans as Star Wars Day for its pun on the series’ famous catchphrase “May the Force be with you”, will be extended throughout the entire month of May at LEGOLAND Malaysia this year as the LEGO group and LEGOLAND Malaysia join forces for the first time to create the biggest ever Star Wars Day event in the Asia Pacific.

In a bid to reach out to new and younger Star Wars fans, this is also the first time that parent-child activities have been planned for Star Wars Day celebrations, which are taking place at LEGOLAND Malaysia for the fourth year running.

09 - Master Your Force Together with LEGO Darth Vader at LEGOLAND Malaysia

“We want to get a new generation of fans immersed in Star Wars, let parents and children create together as a family, and master their force together as a family,” said Vera Ivanova, Marketing Director of SEA Marketing at LEGO Singapore during the press conference this morning.

There will be Star Wars related events happening every weekend in May so plan your visit well (or just head up north every weekend!). Oh, and do dress the children up in Star Wars outfits so they get free* entry to the park – and you can use the money saved from their tickets to buy that $299.90 (at Bricks World), LEGO Millennium Falcon, yes?

Here’s what you can look forward to.
