On this day in 2011, the first known organized celebration of ‘Star Wars’ Day was held at the Toronto Underground Cinema in Ontario, Canada. For the admission price of $8, fans enjoyed a ‘Star Wars’ trivia game show, a cosplay costume contest, tribute and parody films from around the Internet, a screening of a vintage 35mm print of the original ‘Star Wars’ film, and a visit from the 501st Canadian Garrison of Stormtroopers. A second annual event was held the following year. [15 years ago in 2026]
