If you are taking a holiday in Orlando this August and you enjoy a bit of sci-fi, why not check out Star Wars Celebration V. Star Wars Celebration V will be held at the Orange County Convention Centre on 12-15 August 2010.

Star Wars Celebrations have been running for a number of years, attracting fans and celebrities from across the globe. This year, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and many other stars of the sci-fi saga will be available to sign autographs, while Star Wars creator George Lucas will attend a special onstage interview on Saturday.

The R2-D2 Builders will be hosting a spectacular display of droids and re-enacted scenes from The Empire Strikes Back in celebration of the film's 30th anniversary. Also, droid races will take place on a specially designed race course.

Collectors of Star Wars memorabilia will have a field day at Star Wars Celebration V. Animated artwork, Star Wars cards and even food memorabilia will be up for grabs. There will even be a selection of humorous collectibles.

On Friday, the Troop-Athlon Races will be a fast paced series of challenges for teams of troopers dressed in full armour. The event will include races on Segway's and a humorous round of the 'Ewok Toss'! Star Wars Celebration V also features a Bounty Hunt challenge and tattoo artists will be on hand to offer Star Wars themed tattoos!

The event is suitable for families, and children can attend at a discounted price. Single day tickets and four day passes can be purchased online, but they can also be bought onsite at an inflated price. Star Wars Celebration V will be packed with things to do, and avid fans of the saga will think they're in Star Wars heaven!
