The Galactic Empire and Rebellion will join forces for the opening weekend of Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination at COSi in Columbus, Ohio. During the weekend of June 2-4, over 130 members of the 501st and Rebel Legion will be appearing as your favorite characters from the entire saga. Want to whine about power converters with Luke? Challenge Darth Maul to a duel? Maybe pilot the Falcon with Han and Chewie? Perhaps your life's ambition was to get your trachea crushed by Darth Vader? Do it all the first weekend of June in Columbus, Ohio!

Costumed members of both groups will be mingling with fans in the exhibit itself and people in line from one hour prior to the exhibit opening to one hour after it closes each day opening weekend. You will also be able to find people at the Rebel Legion and 501st information tables to learn about how to join the organizations and be a costumed part of the Star Wars universe.
