This is approved by Lucasfilm. The contact information and detai ls for the event are listed below. Please feel free to share this broadly with your clubs!\n\nDirectly below is what we send to the Teams regarding Open Invites for Fan Group participation at sports games:\n\nAll SW themed events with Major and Minor league teams are now considered OPEN INVITES. This means we do not have to cast and teams do not have to pay performers . Teams must welcome all fan groups on a first come basis and cannot ask f or specific characters or specific amounts. They can set a maximum limit b ased on accommodations. Open Invites are just that: an invitation to fan g roups to show up at an event in costume. Teams cannot direct fan group mem bers to do any activities or be anywhere specific at any specific time - t hey may provide the groups with a list of activities to self-organize and participate in\, but it is at fan group members&rsquo\; own discretion. We strongly prefer that characters not throw out first pitches\, participate in puck drops\, sing the National Anthem or things of that nature &ndash\ ; if they want\, fan group members may escort a child or fan to the mound\ , etc.\, but must not be directed to do so. Characters should not hold\, w ear\, sit in or stand on any branded item or logo\, especially with a team emblem. The fan groups are welcome to be photographed with others wearing the team logo/brands or in front of signage featuring the team logo/brand \, however. We strongly suggest that teams provide a handler/security for costumed fans during activities to ensure the safety and security of said costumed fans\, to protect them from overzealous game attendees. Costumed fan groups must be referred to as members from their respective fan groups \, and not as official SW/Disney/Lucasfilm characters.\n\nPlease note that if you or your club members require a handler or handlers at the event\, you must provide them yourself and not rely on handlers from other clubs t o fulfill this responsibility.\n\nPlease do not RSVP with LFL. The corresp onding team contact is listed below if you and your members are interested . Spots fill up fast - not all fan groups will get to participate in event s where there is a set limit\, which are based on a teams&rsquo\; bandwidt h for accommodation.\n\nFan Groups invited to attend:\n501st Legion- 70th Explorers Garrison\nRebel Legion- Dantooine Base\nMando Mercs- Yustapir Cl an\nSaber Guild- Yavin Temple\nThe Dark Empire- Obsidian Spire\nDefenders Detachment\nJedi Council of America\nStar Wars Morale Missions\nSith Dynas ty\nDroid Builders\n\n\nWichita Wind Surge Star Wars Night 2025\n\nLocatio n: (Name and address): Equity Bank Park 275 S.
