The Buster T. Bison Poster "Base Wars" is a parody of the original Star Wars movie poster.

More than two dozen Star Wars characters from The 501st Legion's Garrison Excelsior, The Rebel Legion's Echo Base and The North Ridge FanForce chapter will be waiting to greet fans when the gates open at 6:00 p.m. The characters will be available for photos and autographs throughout the evening. Plus they will be helping fundraise for the American Heart Association through the sales of fun Star Wars goodies. Make sure to bring your camera to get photos with characters like Darth Vader, Stormtroopers, Jedi Knights and more from the Star Wars universe!
