Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Star Wars™, LEGO® Star Wars™ Days was officiated in LEGOLAND® Malaysia Resort with the largest Imperial March parade in the Resort’s history, featuring hundreds of Stormtroopers, Jedi, and other beloved Star Wars™ characters.

Gear up for this one-of-a-kind experience as the Legions bring an amazing cast of characters including Jedis, Stormtroopers, and even villains to life with their screen-accurate costume replicas. Beyond that, at the peak of its celebrations now, the resort also featured an extra special commemorative session to honour Princess Leia – the toughest rebel in the galaxy. The resort is flocked with Star Wars fans dressed as Star Wars characters for this memorable session to remember and honour her life and legacy. Guests will also be in for a surprise as there is a chance that they may get to meet and greet the princess’ costume character at the resort’s Miniland for a memorable photo opportunity.
