The Force is strong this month as Star Wars Malaysia Fan Club commemorates Star Wars Day on the 4th of May in the best way possible! It’ll be a month-long celebration full of events organised by the club and many of its associates. Expect screenings of Episode I: The Phantom Menace in conjunction with the film’s 25th anniversary, flea markets, and many more. Lau Chee Kin, the President of Star Wars Malaysia Fan Club, and Sanjiv Indran, its honorary secretary, join us to share the various events that they have in store, as well as geek out over the franchise, the Malaysian Star Wars fandom, and the direction Star Wars is heading under Disney moving forward.
