A central Saskatchewan town was turning heads thanks to a life-sized display from the popular Star Wars film series.
Visitors to Watrous, Sask. over the Christmas holidays were witness to a replica TIE Fighter, a spacecraft used by the fictional Galactic Empire.
The craft was displayed in full view of visitors, complete with some festive Christmas decorations outside of the Watrous Home Hardware Building Centre, just off of Manitou Avenue.
However, this was not the first time the attraction was on display, according to one of its architects, Derek Bushman.
“Every year for Halloween we do a theme and early last year, in the summertime, we decided to do Star Wars,” Bushman explained.
Derek, and his father Ken, built the Star Wars icon in support of an annual fundraiser for the Watrous Food Bank called “Halloween for Hunger.”
