David Graham, owner of Action Hero Parties, said: “The Star Wars characters are always very well received whenever they parade around Worksop.
“We released some onto the streets to celebrate the release of The Force Awakens earlier this year, and since then we’ve even had requests from shop assistsants in the area who want their photo taken with them.
“We’re thinking of launching more Star Wars events in future, with some added fundraising, as they’re always popular and it’d be great to raise some money for charity too.”
Action Hero Parties has a shop at 62a Bridge Street, which opened last year.
