The Reuben H. Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park held a pre-screening party and then an exclusive private screening of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” at the AMC Mission Valley IMAX theater on Thursday, Dec. 17. Hundreds of fans \u2013 dressed as Jedi Knights, Han Solos, and Princess Leias (some in gold bikinis and others in the more modest flowing white dress with hair buns) \u2013 came out to meet R2-D2, Boba Fett, hang with Stormtroopers from the 501st Legion and consume colorful drinks and food from local restaurants, distilleries and breweries.
\nThe Star Wars fans also witnessed a demonstration on how hover transportation could work and tried diligently to make their own lightsaber at the Fleet Center. The evening culminated with a private motorcoach ride to the theater to watch “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”
\nFood and drink sponsors at the pre-screening party included Aztec Brewing Co., Old Harbor Distilling Co., Port Brewing and Lost Abbey, The Prado, Quad Ale House, Saiko Sake & Sushi Bar, Bice Ristorante, Slater’s 50\/50, High Dive Bar & Grill, Soda & Swine, Malahat Spirits Co., and Tidal Seasonal Craft & Catch.
\nSome sponsors embraced the event theme and provided Star Wars-inspired food, such as Intergalactic Meatballs from Quad Ale House or the Desert Planet Dessert from High Dive Bar & Grill.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
