It has been a busy few weeks for Star Wars fans. The big news of course was the announcement of the Episode VII cast, with the confirmation that the upcoming film will feature many of the stars of the original trilogy alongside new faces. Yesterday was May the 4th, which has been informally dubbed the international day to celebrate all things Star Wars (say the date aloud and add 'be with you' to the end if you don't know why that particular day has been chosen).
With Star Wars fever at a higher pitch than it has been for years, there was no better time for Invasion Dublin: the Irish fan event for all things Star Wars. Concluding today in the RDS, it's a perfect illustration of the enduring legacy of the sci-fi saga. You can find out more at the Invasion Dublin website.
Here's some of the best tweets from the event so far:
