Students taking part in the infamous Otley Run pub crawl have dressed up in their fanciest sci-fi outfits to mark May 4 also known as Star Wars Day.
Revellers were out in force today taking part in the Otley Run pub crawl across Leeds. They were dressed in a variety of costumes from lightsaber wielding Jedis, to Oompa Loompas as students embarked on the 16 pub whistle stop tour around the city.
The Otley Run weaves its way from Headingley at the outskirts of Leeds along Headingley Lane, past the University of Leeds, and finishes at The Dry Dock Leeds in the city centre 1.5 miles away from the start.
It is a considered a right of passage for any university students studying in Leeds to take part in at least one Otley Run and fancy dress is considered an essential part of the pub crawl.
Today's bar-hopping tour of the West Yorkshire city also happens to fall on May 4 which for fans of Star Wars is an informal holiday known as Star Wars Day originating from the pun 'May the fourth be with you.'
A group of students celebrated Star Wars Day appropriately dressed as jedi knights complete with their very own lightsabers. May 4 which for fans of Star Wars is an informal holiday known as Star Wars Day originating from the pun 'May the fourth be with you'
Meanwhile a lone jedi knight was pictured with a group of ladies who appeared to have missed the fancy dress memo and instead opted for their fanciest going-out outfits
For this reasons, many costumes today appear to be sci-fi
