In May, we celebrate the 10th anniversary of the premiere of Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace.

The sand planet Tatooine appeared in all but one of the Star Wars movies, and has been featured in numerous novels, comics, and games. Although ten years have passed since The Phantom Menace revealed that Anakin Skywalker once lived on Tatooine, many areas of this fictional world have remained a mystery... until now!

Ryder Windham has written more than 60 Star Wars and Indiana Jones books, including juvenile fiction, comic book scripts, movie novelizations, and information guides. For this event, he will share his secrets of writing Star Wars stories, and read an excerpt from a forthcoming novel featuring Luke Skywalker on Tatooine!

If you own books by Ryder Windham, bring them along and Ryder will be happy to sign them for you. We will also be giving away signed souvenirs. Questions for Ryder may be submitted beforehand to: anisa@kidoinfo.com (please put Star Wars Questions on the subject line).

Members of the world wide Star Wars fan club, the 501st Legion will be attending this event in costume. Shake hands with a Tusken Raider and a Jawa! If you have a Star Wars costume at home, this is the perfect opportunity to wear it.

Cost: Free

Suggested Audiences: Adult, College, High School, Middle School, Elementary
