WATCH

"Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" surfaces in theaters across the state Thursday night, but if you want to watch with stormtroopers, here's how. On Friday starting around 5 p.m., Penn Cinema Riverfront in Wilmington will host members of 501st Legion, the fan-based organization that makes and wears screen-accurate replica costumes. "Star Wars" characters will also be at Middletown's Westown Movies on Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. May the Force -- and movie ticket gods -- be with you. It should be busy out there this weekend.

Newark hip-hop/rock act Weekday Warriors will debut songs from their new album, "Uppers Downers & All Arounders," at Kelly's Logan House in Wilmington Friday night. The free 10 p.m. show will most likely include the song "Three High Fives," which now has its very own music video. Watch Weekday Warriors party hard with wine and friends here as part of The News Journal's occasional music video series, Delaware Music TV.

TASTE

Shake Shack, considered one of the country's best burger chains, has opened its first Delaware location. The eatery, founded by famed New York restaurateur Danny Meyer, is now serving burgers, grilled hot dogs, shakes and more at 2120 Fashion Center Blvd., across from Christiana Fashion Center near the Christiana Mall. House specialties are "concretes" or dense frozen custard ice cream blended at high speed with mix-ins.

Just because indie rock band Scantron hasn’t played a lot of gigs this year, it doesn’t mean that they aren’t road-tested. The core of the group -- James Everhart and Will Donnelly -- have been busy touring the country this year with their other band, Low Cut Connie. Now, the former Delawareans who call Philadelphia home are headed back to their old stomping grounds, Wilmington's Oddity Bar, and will once again fire up the spirited Scantron, which performed at Philly’s Kung Fu Necktie last week. It’s $5 to get in the door to see Scantron and their bad-ass openers, Wilmington rock act Gozer.
