"I have been a Star Wars fan since the second trilogy came out, that is what I kind of grew up with, and also LEGO is a great crossover for that, and so, Star Wars Day here is a great time to celebrate both of those communities," said Throne.
Throne says Star Wars Day is his store's most popular day of the year, even more popular than Black Friday.
