Star Wars: The Force Awakens is on track to be the biggest film in the franchise — pre-ticket sales have already garnered $50 million nationwide. And here in New York, excitement has reached epic levels (and not just in the lines that have been growing outside of movie theaters for weeks now).
In addition to things like limited-edition ice cream flavors at Brooklyn's Ample Hills, lightsaber-wielding classes with New York Jedi, and a Star Wars-themed trivia night at places like Think Coffee and the East Village's Ace Bar, fashion's getting in on the action with collections that pay homage to the series — and luckily, they're not lightyears away.
