In a shopping centre not so far away...
Newport's Kingsway Centre was invaded by spacemen on Saturday, when Star Wars characters, including bounty hunter Boba Fett and a Tusken Raider, flew in to entertain shoppers.
The characters, from SAJ Promotions of Pontllanfraith, toured the centre meeting Christmas shoppers and spreading a bit of intergalactic fun.
George Powell, of SAJ Promotions, who sell vintage Star Wars merchandise, said: "People were a bit surprised to see Boba Fett patrolling the stores - but they weren't in any danger.
"The characters are really popular at parties and events, they're something a bit different."
