Stars Wars fans are being encouraged to dress up to enhance their experience next week when the latest edition of the blockbuster franchise opens around the world.

But there are restrictions, say officials with theatre chain Cineplex.

“Props and toys that could become tripping hazards or impair vision in a theatre are best left at home,” the company posted on its official website.

“Guests are prohibited from wearing masks or carrying toy weapons of any kind.”

In other words, leave your lightsabres and blasters at home.

Stars Wars opens in Thunder Bay on Thursday, with advanced showings on three screens. Tickets are still available for most shows.
