THE BOUNTY HUNT

Think you can outrun the Empire? Put your fate to the test with this interactive experience hosted by the Ohio Garrison 501st Legion in the Community Zone. For a $5 donation, you’ll receive a custom-designed lanyard—marking you as the target. From there, Imperial forces will attempt to track you down across the show floor and bring you back to face Imperial justice. Stay sharp… the Empire is always watching.
