Star Wars Illuminates the Empire State Building

23 March 2023

In a dazzling display of creativity and technological marvel, the iconic Empire State Building in New York City has been transformed into a canvas for the legendary Star Wars saga. This week, fans and onlookers alike were treated to an unprecedented visual spectacle as scenes from the beloved franchise were projected onto the towering facade of the Empire State Building.

The event commenced after sundown, as darkness enveloped the Manhattan skyline, setting the stage for the interstellar extravaganza. Against the backdrop of the city that never sleeps, the Empire State Building became a towering beacon of Star Wars nostalgia. Attendees were greeted with breathtaking imagery as iconic characters such as Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Darth Vader, and Yoda came to life on the monumental surface of the skyscraper. From the bustling streets below, spectators craned their necks upward to witness X-wing fighters soaring across the night sky, lightsabers igniting in epic duels, and the imposing visage of the Death Star casting its ominous shadow.

Joined by George Lucas, Kathleen Kennedy, and other luminaries associated with the Star Wars saga, Christensen took part in the ceremonial lighting of the Empire State Building, symbolizing the union of past and present in the enduring legacy of the franchise.
