I have been waiting for what seems like the longest time to visit the Star Wars Identities exhibition at the O2 in London. With myself and my partner both loving sci-fi - we decided this was a perfect double birthday treat for us.
The exhibition has been running since last year, but we decided to wait for the initial rush to die down (which was hard for an impatient person!). Finally we picked a Thursday afternoon and the timing was perfect. At times it felt like we had the place to ourselves (a good idea if busy crowds aren't your thing).
Of course, the Primark Star Wars trainers had to come out for the day!
There were plenty of familiar characters to spot,
We loved the whole day, there were props and costumes from the movies plus story boards and art work as well.
The exhibition has a continuous theme of what shapes our identity and behaviour. We each had an interactive wristband and answered questions as we went. I think if you're with someone who isn't a massive Star Wars fan it's a good way to keep the less sci-fi inclined visitors still entertained.
At the end, I tapped my wristband after answering all the questions and found I was destined to be a short pink ewok. Could have been worse I guess!
The exhibition runs until September 2017, so there's still time to visit - I'm very tempted!!
Thanks for reading
