Star Wars gems including artwork, models and costumes are coming from a galaxy far, far away to touch down in Greenwich from November.

Star Wars Identities: The Exhibition will be at the O2 from November 18 until next September.

Drawing extensively from the creator George Lucas’ Museum of Narrative Art, it will showcase 200 props, models, costumes and artwork from the original movies and help guide visitors to a better understanding of what makes Star Wars characters who they are.

The exhibition has been developed by X3 Productions and Lucasfilm and features an interactive identity quest which will enable visitors to leave with their own personalised and unique Star Wars character.

X3’s president and executive producer Jacques-Andre Dupont said: “This exhibition offers 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.”
