Star Wars Memorabilia Show In London

Via Bbc.com:

Star Wars fans can get a rare glimpse at original costumes from the franchise, including one of Darth Vader’s suits, in an exhibition open to the public in London later this year.
At least 200 original props from all seven films will feature in the interactive show at the O2 in Greenwich.
The props have been loaned by the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, established by the saga’s creator George Lucas.
The exhibition opens on 18 November.
‘Fresh perspective on Star Wars’
The show, called Star Wars Identities, is interactive and allows visitors to explore the franchise universe, understand how the characters were made and also create a character of their own.

The exhibition first began in Canada and has toured European cities including Cologne and Munich.
Other pieces of memorabilia which will be on show include the famous bikini worn by Princess Leia -played by actress Carrie Fisher – in the third film Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.
The robot R2-D2 costume, operated by the late small English actor Kenny Baker, will also be exhibited.
President of X3 Productions – creators of the show – Jacques-Andres Dupont said: “This exhibition offers a fresh perspective on the beloved characters of Star Wars.
“We get a deeper understanding of their identities, and, at the same time, we get a deeper understanding of our own.”
