PRINCE GEORGE – In a galaxy far, far away, Captain Rex the clone trooper, a Jedi and Imperial Officer and a Jawa descended on a little-known place known as Nicholas’ room at the University Hospital of Northern BC. A day before May the 4th.

“Mostly just seeing all the characters is really cool and stuff.”

Of course, Luke Skywalker is 12-year-old Nicholas’ favourite Star Wars persona. How could it not be, really? In fact, he started building Star Wars characters out of Lego.

“I just started building those Legos, actually, right when I came in the hospital. So I might start looking in Star Wars stuff and yeah, getting into it a little bit more. My friend is really into it, so.”
