Pop-culture convention continues Sunday at Eastwood Expo Center

NILES — Ten-year-old Jackson Belknap doesn’t remember seeing the second “Star Wars” movie when he was 2, although his memories of Darth Vader will not evaporate anytime soon — or contain fear.

That’s because the fearsome cyborg and “Star Wars” series’ central antagonist was in a friendlier mood.

“He greeted us when we walked in,” said Jackson, of Austintown, referring to meeting and taking a picture of Darth Vader upon Jackson’s arrival today at the second annual Screaming Tiki comics, toys and pop-culture convention at the Eastwood Expo Center.

The three-day event continues from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday at the expo center.
