Fans of the classic film saga officially observe the celebration on May 4, but Coffee Heart in Lowestoft will be using the force a day later and have dubbed their festivities 'Revenge of the 5th'.

This year's event - being held for the fourth time - is set to be bigger than ever before, with even more characters, props, music from the films and a day of Star Wars-themed food and drink.

Those in attendance are encouraged to choose the Light or Dark Side and wear their finest Star Wars fancy dress, allowing them to get a half price 'Freakshake.'

The event on May 5 will take place from 10am to 4pm and is free entry to all. There will be a charity collection for the Royal British Legion.
