Bolton is set to be invaded by Star Wars favourites again this Saturday with a host of costumed characters set to descend on the town centre.
The Storm Troopers, Sand People and Sith Lords are all part of the 5th Legion squad, a Star Wars costuming group dedicated to raising money for good causes.
They will be returning to the Market Place Shopping Centre this weekend on Saturday April 30.
