Use all of your powers to get down to Supercon
The slow drip of information surrounding the new “Star Wars” film could be resolved at this week’s Florida Supercon, returning Thursday through Sunday at the Miami Beach Convention Center (1901 Convention Center Drive). The geekathon will host the space saga’s original cast members Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca) and Billy Dee Williams (Lando Calrissian), and the crucial plot details they reveal could be game-chang- ing. Or the actors may answer with a series of Chewbacca noises. (We are fine with either.) Their first appearances are set for Friday, but plenty of opening-day festivities await the hordes of cosplayers and nerdy enthusiasts, including: cosplay karaoke, a Super Geek Film Festival, video-game tournaments and sketch-comedy shows. 10 a.m.-midnight Thursday. $30. 954-399-1330, and the full schedule is at FloridaSupercon.com.
