Suppose a Jedi were asked to explain a hockey puck. Small, dark, unexpectedly fast: a description that might prompt an unnecessarily solemn warning from the Council. In Worcester, the practical answer is to watch the ice. Worcester Railers Star Wars Night 2027 takes place at DCU Center on February 6, with puck drop at 6:05pm Eastern time. Doors open at 5:00pm, leaving the imaginary Jedi plenty of time to abandon the prophecy and learn the rules.

The Railers have extended an open invitation to costumed fan groups for the evening at 50 Foster Street. The supplied schedule anticipates wrapping up around 8:00pm. A robe may lend a certain gravity to a discussion of the Force; it is less likely to settle an argument about a penalty. Keep the date, appreciate the distinction, and let the puck get on with its own rather urgent business.
