Comic-Con: Chris to don ‘Star Wars’ costumes for lightsaber relay
“Glee” star Chris Colfer and model Adrianne Curry will be among a dozen celebrities donning “Star Wars” costumes and joining the legion of runners in this year’s Course of the Force, a lightsaber relay leading up to Comic-Con International in San Diego.
Thousands are expected to participate in the Course of the Force, an Olympic-style relay launched last year to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation. This year’s relay, co-sponsored by Lucasfilm and Nerdist Industries, kicks off July 9 at Skywalker Ranch, north of San Francisco, and follows the coast some 500 miles down to San Diego. (Last year’s 136-mile run began in Santa Monica.)
The relay ends in San Diego on July 16, in time for Comic-Con International, which runs July 17-21 at the city’s waterfront convention center, drawing more than 130,000 professionals and enthusiasts in the realms of sci-fi, fantasy, video games, comics and horror for the annual pop-culture expo.
