Have you ever been to a themed special event?

I've never been to any type of themed event, but every year at work we have Customer Service Appreciation Week and each day is themed. One day we dress up as our favorite person, one day we dress in clothes from a specific decade, one day we dress as a different profession....and on and on. This event sound awesome! I would love to go since I am a Star Wars geek. I still have my Star Wars Yoda cup from Taco Bell from 1996 when they re-released Episode 4. I share your discomfort though. My in laws are die hard Star Trek fans, but they argue about which is a better series after the original...next generation or the other one. I would be burned at the stake for my inability to name the other one. Thank god my husband likes Lord of the Rings. lol

I don't think I've ever been to a themed event like that...does the Girl Scouts 90th Birthday celebration on the National Mall in Washington DC count? That would probably be the closest to a 'themed' event for me, though I was an active Girl Scout leader when we went (that was in 2002). I watched the first three installments of Star Wars--in the THEATER (can you see how old I am?). The first one was even on a SINGLE SCREEN (ahh, those were the days). The event you went to sounds like fun...I'm just so conventional (ok, I'm afraid of what others would think of me!), I don't know that I could go, dressed up or not!

Themed events like that are for geeks... sheesh who would go to one of them oh wait, I am going to an SCA event this weekend I guess dressing up in clothing from the middle ages and fighting with wooden swords counts as a themed event eh. I have to make repairs to my swords and armor tonight before head to the Baronry of Rising Waters to fight at the grand tournament of Lady Mary. I like both Star Trek and Wars, both are great examples of good space opera style scifi.

This theme party would definitely make a hit. I have never attended this types of occassions although, holoween dressing up is very common during the holoween season and this is the only time i can dress up weird. He he he.. I hope i can attend or invited in these theme parties! have fun!

yeah i lived in england for 5 years and i was able to go to the 30th year anniversary of star wars, there was a huge convention in london, it was awesome, people got all dressed up it was great, i shall load up some pictures from there. it was so great to be amongst like minded individuals, there was also some freestyle motocross going on, it was a great day. it was called the star wars celebration europe 2007it was great! i'll post some pictures when i have located them.

I'm a huge Star Wars fanboy, and I would certainly love to go to a Star Wars themed event, but unfortunately since I leave in Portugal, there are no such things like Star Wars events in here.

Every year, down in Disneyworld in Florida, every weekend during May (not 100% positive on this) they have what is called Star Wars weekends at Disney (formerly MGM) Studios. People dress up like the characters, they have guest appearances by people who were in the movies, lots of cast members (employees) dressed up as storm-troopers, Darth Vader, and so on, there is special merchandise available for sale (of course). It's an extremely popular event. I was down there during this time of year a few years ago, and while this was not the sole purpose of me going, it was fun just seeing everyone dress up.
