Imagine bringing a temperamental astromech to an institute of technology. There would be questions. Sensible questions, probably, followed by the sort of diagnostic conversation that could occupy an entire afternoon. Fortunately, the occasion in Troy is hockey, and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has Star Wars Night on the calendar. You can appreciate the engineering implications without arriving with a repair request. The droid in this scenario can remain entirely imaginary, which makes transportation considerably simpler.

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Hockey Star Wars Night takes place at Houston Field House in Troy on October 16, 2026. The listed event time is 7:00pm to approximately 9:30pm. Houston Field House gives your evening a destination, while the game supplies a much better reason to look up from your hypothetical technical drawings. You may still find yourself wondering how a lightsaber is powered. That is a respectable question for another time. For this evening, knowing when the hockey starts will serve you rather well.
