After the announcement of Star Wars: Episode VII that will be directed by J.J. Abrams and will be opening in cinemas by December 2015, excitement for the film increases especially now that May 4 is considered as the Star Wars Day for the fans not only in the Philippines but also the whole world. The latest Star Wars movie will be featuring great actors of their generation including John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, and Max von Sydow will join the original stars of the saga, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker.
Meanwhile, as the world celebrates Star Wars Day including here in the Philippines, fans of Star Wars are starting to share photos showing characters doing things the Pinoy way including the riding of the Sarao or Pinoy Jeep. But the cutest of all is seeing R2D2 and the Stormtroopers trying to fight the summer heat with the iconic Pinoy summer treat known as the sorbetes or the dirty ice cream.
The said campaign in the Philippines was spearheaded by The Philippine Outpost of the 501st Legion, an international organization of Star Wars fans who dress up as the bad guys from a galaxy far, far away. Known as the Bad Guys Who Do Good, members of the 501st wear their costumes at events in order to raise funds for charity, especially children’s causes.
