JOLIET, IL — Typically about 10,000 people flock to downtown Joliet's Star Wars Day event sponsored by the Joliet Public Library, and Saturday was no exception. There was another huge crowd and one of the highlights was the 11 a.m. parade, followed by the photo opportunity for all costume characters on the front lawn of the library.

Here's a dozen of the photos that I captured throughout the morning.
