History would be made on Wednesday, July 11, 2012 and we were fortunate to attend and be part of it. Course of the Force would be introduced for the first time this year and created by Lucasfilm Ltd., Nerdist Industries and Octagon. Course of the Force is an Olympic torch style relay run with lightsabers, where the participants will make a journey from Santa Monica to San Diego while benefiting the Make-A-Wish Foundation. In this journey in the inaugural run, Course of the Force would help raise well over $100,000 and continues to grow as their auctions continue on Ebay through July 21st.
The adventure would begin on Saturday, July 7, 2012 in Santa Monica where great festivities occurred in honor of lighting the torch (lightsaber) to begin the long journey to Endor (I mean San Diego). During the run, parties would finish off the successful lightsaber passings in each city, each day.
We were fortunate to be part of the history by attending the grand finale of the run on the final day in San Diego at the Balboa Theater.
