STAR WARS Identities at the O2 Arena

Thursday, 6 July 2017

STAR WARS Identities' world tour is at the O2 in London until September 2017.  It's an exhibition of over 200 props, models, costumes and artwork from the  Star Wars films.  Rev T and the Tubblet wanted to go the instant they heard about it.  Me, not so much, but resistance was useless.

All the Star Wars loveliness is combined with interactive scientific and educational content about  the things that shape our identity.  As you walk through the exhibition, you choose genes, a family tree, culture, mentors, friends, events, occupation, personality, values and clothes to create your own Star Wars character from one of 16 species.  Once that's done, you're asked to embrace the dark or light side of the force.  Two of us stayed in the light, the other went over to the dark side as it wasn't so far to walk.  (Yoda got the fear and anger but underestimated the lazy).

We really enjoyed seeing the costumes, the props, costumes, models and artwork. The concept artwork was particularly interesting - from garden gnome to Yoda in a few steps.  I wasn't so sure about the educational content.  It felt shoe-horned in, but Rev T really enjoyed it. Not sure about the Tubblet.

It was quiet when we visited so we were able to have good look at everything without getting in anyone else's way.  The whole thing took us an hour and a bit.  It's likely to take longer and be more difficult to see and do things when it's busy.

Tickets cost between £18.50 - £22.00.  If you love Star Wars, it's well worth the money.  If you're less keen, save your pennies for something connected with your own fandom.

The light wasn't wonderful and you weren't allowed to use flash, but I managed to grab some photos.

Yoda

Han and Chewie

Falcon

Rebels

The Emperor

Vader


Hope you enjoy them.

    Ahh, Mr C would love this! I think the girls would too actually. I would be worrying that one of them would suddenly move, like that fim where the man falls in love with the mannequin. I think the film is called Mannequin! What if I fell in love with Darth Vader? *shudders* #FridayFrolics

      We went to one SW exhibition and the Vader did jump out every so often. Made me jump!

    Whatever floats your boat ;) If there was a bar you could just leave me there with a good book and I'd be fine! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for linking up to #FridayFrolics

      I'm sorry. I felt really bad when I linked up. (But not that bad or I'd have picked a different post)

    Ah yes I've been here for a work event (I used to work at Sky), honestly i didn't really find it that interesting but that's probably because I'm not a star wars fan. I did like how you build a family tree and create your character throughout the exhibition : ). Definitely more of an activity for my other half lol thanks for sharing with #StayClassyMama!

      You have to be a fan to truly love it. Poor Rev T trailed round the Doctor Who Experience with me and was totally miserable as that's my fandom not his.

    I'm not a Star Wars fan but it's just down the road for me, glad you enjoyed it enough because you're right resistance is futile! Great pics though given the conditions - thanks for sharing with #PoCoLo

      Taking the photos was hard as the light wasn't all that and we only had phones. I was really pleased considering. But I pinched a few of Rev T's as well. Thank you for hosting each week

    Sounds like great fun for Star Wars fans. I'm indifferent to Star Wars myself, but I get the excitement for fans - I think it's how I feel about all things Harry Potter! Thanks so much for joining us for #FridayFrolics

      I love Harry Potter :) The studio isn't that far from us but we've only been the once. It was fantastic. (I need to go again now I have the blog, because content)
