The event was announced on Facebook by the Washington D.C. Snowball Fight Association. "We're big Star Wars fans, and if you are too, bring your outfits and get into character as you engage with Storm Troopers, Jedi, Vader and maybe even some Ewoks!" the event's Facebook page said.
Hundreds turn up for 'Star Wars' snowball fight
Hundreds turned up at Washington's Dupont Circle for a massive Star Wars-themed snowball fight following the weekend's terrible blizzard.
The association said more than 500 people participated in "Snow Wars: The Snowball Strikes Back," the Star Wars-themed snowball war held at Dupont Circle, the association's preferred location for its annual snowball fights.
The participants, whose numbers were lower than expected due to public transportation being shut down for the snow storm, included several in Star Wars costumes including Jedi, Storm Troopers, Rebel fighters, Darth Vader and Chewbacca.
