SAN ANTONIO – Alamo Drafthouse is holding a "lightsaber vigil" in honor of Carrie Fisher at area locations Wednesday evening.
The event will take place at Alamo Drafthouse in New Braunfels, Stone Oak, Park North, Westlakes, and Laredo at 6:30 p.m.
Attendees are encouraged to dress up as their favorite "Star Wars" characters, bring along as many lightsabers as you own, and invite fellow Wookiees, bounty hunters, ewoks, and stormtroopers.
Those not in possession of a lightsaber can bring flashlights and glow sticks. Alamo Drafthouse said the goal is to "brighten the sky and say thank you to a woman who inspired us on and off the screen".
Memorial screenings of The Blues Brothers will be held Wednesday to honor Carrie Fisher.
Donations also can be made before and after the show to DBSA San Antonio, a non-profit support group for people with mood disorders, such as Bipolar Disorder and Depression. Learn more at www.dbsaalliance.org.
