Lifelong Astros fan heading to our first themed game (Star Wars Saturday!) – Any tips to make the most of it with the family?

Shoot it Houston Texas!

My family and I have been lifelong Astros fans and have been to a ton of games over the years, but we've never done a themed game. We've got tickets to Saturday afternoon's Star Wars weekend game and the kids (and let's be real, the adults just as much) are super excited.

Since this is our first experience like this, I wanted to ask here:

Any tips or suggestions for getting the most out of the experience?

  • What happens on Star Wars days that are worth showing up early for? And how early would you get there?
  • Are there special photo ops that we should look for? And tips for where to find them?
  • Anything specific for kids that might not be obvious on the Astros website?
  • Do people really dress up for this? (I'll be rocking my Lima Time jersey as is tradition but wondering about others.)

The only Astros + Star Wars memory I really have is seeing Luke Scott occasionally come out to the brilliant sounds of John Williams, so I'm pretty pumped to see what all is going on. Thanks for all of your suggestions and …

Go Astros!
