\u201cIt\u2019s just so crazy, how people get into all the stuff that they get into,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s pretty fascinating.\u201d He owns the Moon Tavern & Entertainment Complex at the hotel.<\/p>\n
Groups of cosplayers \u2014 people serious about creating and wearing costumes \u2014 will portray \u201cStar Wars\u201d characters and others.<\/p>\n
Admission ranges from $5 for an advance ticket Sunday to a $100 all-access weekend pass.<\/p>\n
Galey said the R2-D2 costume doesn\u2019t feel claustrophobic. \u201cIt felt great, just to be R2-D2,\u201d she said. She was not particularly a \u201cStar Wars\u201d fan before being cast for small appearances as several creatures. She studied the first movie to learn the droid\u2019s movements.<\/p>\n
The other \u201cStar Wars\u201d actress on the schedule is Susanna Malak. She\u2019s honored to be part of \u201cStar Wars,\u201d despite feeling \u201cvery confined\u201d in some costumes. She has appeared as various creatures on \u201cThe Mandalorian\u201d and \u201cThe Book of Boba Fett.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s been times that I sat there and had to talk myself through it,\u201d Malak said. \u201cBecause I wanted to quit. It\u2019s just claustrophobic.\u201d<\/p>\n
Other guests include voice actor Trevor Devall, who has worked on \u201cStar Wars\u201d animation and other productions.<\/p>\n
The first event is the party for weekend pass holders Friday. Hours on Saturday are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., with cosplay karaoke later in the evening. On Sunday, the hours are noon to 4 p.m.<\/p>\n
