and live on Freeview channel 276
The Star Wars Force February event – which is being held at Gobsmack Comics in Swan Walk on Saturday February 4 – will feature actors from the Star Wars movies.
Organiser Drew Dewsall, who owns Gobsmack, said: “It’s great to have it back … it’s going to be a great day.” In fact, he said “this is going to be the biggest and best Force Feb ever.”

There will also be lightsaber demonstrations, a life-size Speederbike and more.
The fun starts at Gobsmack Comics at 10am and, weather permitting, there will be a procession through Swan Walk at around 1pm going through the shopping centre into the Carfax and down West Street.
There are also special offers and a children’s costume competition with cool prizes for the best. There will also be a charity raffle with a grand prize of a Playstation 5 as well as other great prizes. Money raised will go to the Springboard Project.
