R2-KT, the iconic fundraising astromech is heading to Singapore ahead of appearances as part of May 4th celebrations in the city.

The droid, as featured in The Clone Wars and The Force Awakens, will be meeting fans and continuing her role as a beacon for hope and courage among fans facing illness and misfortune on May 4 and 5 at the F1 Pit Building, where the Star Wars Day: May The 4th Be With You festival will be held.

The climax of the weekend will be the STAR WARS Run Singapore, which debuted last year and boasts even more fun for all this year, with exclusive medals and tshirts for anyone completing the course, and some wonderful trophies for the winners in each category.
