Star Wars

Where Science Meets Imagination

It’s over thirty years since George Lucas released the first instalment of his epic space adventure, Star Wars, but interest in the saga has never waned.

The film spawned two sequel and three prequels – delivering some of the most memorable and beloved characters in movie history.

Great characters weren’t the only thing that set Star Wars apart from the average sci-fi adventure. The film sported some amazing special effects and today at Sydney’s Powerhouse Museum, visitors get the chance to go behind the scenes on the flick with the new exhibition Star Wars : Where science meets imagination.

With over 80 costumes, models and full-scale replicas from all six films on display, fans can take a journey through the Star Wars universe and discover some real world scientific applications along the way.

The robots and engineer droids may have been from a galaxy far afar away – but with technology and sci-fi on a collision course many of the film’s high tech concepts are becoming a modern day reality – from Luke’s landspeeder to robots like C3PO to the prosthetic devices of Luke and Anakin.

Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination is now showing at the Powerhouse Musuem.
