The Force was strong on Friday morning.

One hundred or so Star Wars fans lined up outside the Toys “R” Us store at Langley’s Willowbrook Shopping Centre, awaiting a special event.

The fans were there for the 12:01 a.m. opening of the store — one of just five Toys “R” Us locations across Canada given that honour — for the worldwide debut of the new Star Wars: The Last Jedi toys and collectibles.

The Last Jedi is set to hit theatres in December.
