Star Wars Relay Heads to Seal Beach Saturday

It will be hard to miss.

Saturday runners—many dressed as Star Wars characters—will trek down the coast through Seal Beach as part of a 500-mile trek to San Diego’s Comic-Con 2013 on Tuesday. Accompanied by a replica of Jabba the Hut’s sail barge, runners will head down the coast dressed as Darth Vader, Princess Leah or Jedi Knights.

It is like an Olympic Torch relay, but instead of a torch, runners pass Star Wars lightsaber.
