We already gave you some May the 4th Events, but Discover Los Angeles has an even bigger list
Here's our top picks:
We will be opening the blast doors from 10am-2am. There is no cover charge, no reservations, and you can’t win a table for the day in a game of sabacc. This is first come first serve event and we can’t guarantee seating. Make sure your hyperdrive is working on that bucket of bolts, because we recommend showing up early! As always, we’ll be handing out our commemorative May the Fourth buttons to the first 100 guests (1 per person) to celebrate the day!
If we see anything else for Star Wars for it's day we'll tell ya.
