Locations: Throughout Convention Center Hours: During Convention Hours
	The 501st Droid Hunt (sponsored by Del Rey Books): Pick up your complimentary "Droid Badge" at the 501st Experience room (while supplies last) and prepare to be caught and interrogated by Imperial troops as they compete against one another to recover as many "stolen droids" as possible. Some fans will receive a Jedi Mind Trick card to extend their gameplay, but everyone gets a prize just for playing! Complete rules available at 501st.com/droidhunt and at the 501st information booth. Locations: Badge pick-up at 501st Experience room. Gameplay throughout convention center. Hours: TBA
	Troop-Athlon: In the tradition of the historic games that make heroes out of some and humiliate others, the 501st puts an Imperial spin on competition between its own costumed members as we ask the question "What can't you do in armor?" Returning for Celebration V is the 501st Legion Troop-Athlon! The Troop-Athlon pits fully armored troops from around the world against each other in a head to head test of their athleticism, accuracy, and mental acuity. Bring your cameras to this family friendly event: there will be plenty of blaster fire, flying ewoks, and troopers on Segways! Location: Celebration Experience Hall (W3B) Hours: Friday, August 13, 2010, 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM
	Palpatine's Paparazzi: You're a photographer for Emperor Palpatine himself, taking pictures for his review of Celebration V! Pick up your photography assignment list from the 501st Legion room (W206ABC) and then keep your eyes peeled for photo opportunities. Darth Vader drinking a soda? Stormtroopers breakdancing? You'll need to be quick to complete your list. Play as an individual, as a team or as a family and compete against other Paparazzi for your chance at some exclusive 501st Legion prizes! Locations: Throughout Convention Center Hours: During Convention Hours

	CV Celebrity Host and 501st Member: Actor Jay Laga'aia will serve as Celebration V's Celebrity Host, entertaining fans and fellow celebrities alike with his charm, wit and musical talent. Jay officially joined the ranks of the 501st in 2009 with his own Stormtrooper costume. As he prefers to remain anonymous in his white armor, you may be unwittingly taking your photo with Captain Typho in the convention halls so listen for the trooper with the Kiwi accent!
