The festival is a Fáilte Ireland initiative and is designed to capitalise on several Star Wars location shoots along the Wild Atlantic Way.
A number of events, including drive-in movie screenings, guided film location walks and a fancy dress céilí, will take place in the Kerry villages of Ballyferriter, Portmagee, Ballinskelligs and Valentia Island.
Will you be going?!
