Star Wars: Galactic Celebration event in BGC by Globe and Star Wars (Disney)

December 11, 2015 is the big moment for us Star Wars fans, because it’s the first event that made a big hype for the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens movie here in the Philippines. The fun part is that this event is organized by Globe and Walt Disney Company SEA, the partnership of two companies helped in promoting Star Wars fandom here in the Philippines and Im very happy that we get to experience an awesome Star Wars event without leaving the country.

The event titled “Star Wars Galactic Celebration” is our very own Star Wars event that took place in Bonifacio High Street Central in BGC, Taguig City. We went to the Dec 11 media preview to experience first hand the Star Wars Play Hub, the biggest play hub ever with lots of Star Wars content. The big event was scheduled to open for the public last December 12-13, 2015, and it was very successful.

I’m very happy because Star Wars fan blood was transferred to my 5 year old son Ashton. I remember that my first Star Wars exposure is when my dad brought me to the cinema to watch Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, my adventure with Star Wars started there and it remained til I reached the age of 38.

Today, my son Ashton, is so hyper about Star Wars, I bought him Kylo Ren light saber and mask and also made him a DIY costume to blend in this event. I remembered my first ever light saber that my dad bought it in a store, its funny that the handle of the lightsaber is a big plastic flash light.

Today, kids are so lucky because toys and merchandise of anything Star Wars are easy to acquire..they are every where!!!

At the event, I showed the Star Wars Battle Pod arcade game to my son, I always babble this to him because of my amazement of the semi 360 degree view and the flight simulation of starfighter vehicles from the Star Wars universe. Here we pilot the X-wing and our mission is to destroy the Imperial Tie Fighter and also the Death Star space station.

We are so pumped up with lots of Star Wars mania in our veins, and this arcade game added more excitement.

Ashton and his Kylo Ren costume, we were waiting for the 3D mapping projection show at the walls of the Globe Tower in BGC.

This is the first time our son enjoyed wearing costumes, back then when he was 3-4 years old, he hated wearing a mask, and he got tired of wearing his Iron Man costume. His auntie from the US bought him a Thor costume, but he wore it one time only during this birthday.

But today…. Ashton never loses an energy because he wore the costume for hours..from the start to the end of the event.

And because he is in character of Kylo Ren, he did some quick light saber fights with fellow Star Wars fans (who are members of the Philippine Light Saber Guild)
