May The 4th: Tiny Vader, Stormtrooper Tour DIA
DENVER (CBS4)- May the fourth be with you. It's May 4 and that means Darth Vader and the dark side are invading Denver International Airport.
Not really, actually this year DIA is presenting the adventures of Tiny Vader along with a stormtrooper.
The pair took a tour of the airport, including riding the escalator and checking the flight status board. It was all documented on Twitter.
This has become a trend at DIA to celebrate May the 4th, otherwise known as Star Wars Day.

It seems the pair really got around DIA, even making it into the control tower and looking at the airfield plans.
