Now, I don't know about you, but I have a Star Wars: The Force Awakens countdown timer on my fridge... And I don't care whether that makes me cool or uncool - I frickin' love it.
Thankfully, while the world waits for this epic release, we are given a taste of Star Wars magic to whet our appetites. Toys, collectibles, gadgets, apparel and more will officially hit shelves at Disney Stores and other retailers on Friday, Sept. 4 at 12:01 a.m. - aptly named 'Force Friday'.
To celebrate this awesome product launch, a variety of Irish stores are inviting Star Wars fans to line up outside their doors and countdown to midnight, including Disney Store and Smyths.
In Dublin, a special event will be held at Disney Store on Grafton Street, where fans in Star Wars fancy dress can start lining up at 20:30, with giveaways leading up to midnight. Then at 12:01 a.m., the Disney Store will open its doors for fans to experience its galactic line-up of Star Wars: The Force Awakens merchandise – with an exclusive theme pin and other giveaways, as well as an in-store competition and product demos.
