With a cold and wet weekend forecast I decided to visit the St Catherines Toys R Us where there was to be a gathering of Star Wars Characters on Saturday, April 18, 2010. At least 15 members (and an android) of the Young Jedi Force got into costume to help support their community and raise money for charity.
It is very impressive to see so many of the characters in one place. They certainly put a lot of work into the costumes.
There was even an Ewok at the event.
There are many Star Wars fan groups in Ontario.

Look for the The Polaris Masquerade which "is an amateur costume competition for costumes relating to categories of Anime/Manga, Media (e.g. Star Trek, Star Wars, Babylon 5, computer games, etc.), Fantasy, Science Fiction, and any other related topics. The Masquerade will take place on Saturday evening after the Constellation Awards."
