Warning! These posters will captivate you and could keep you at your computer for hours. Go no further if you have important stuff to do today!
Star Wars Identities is a new interactive museum exhibit which will debut at the Montreal Science Center on April 19th. The overall theme, “what forces shape you?” is brilliantly depicted in the detail of each poster. As the Star Wars blog says,” the illustrations draw inspiration from each character’s individuality — what it is that makes them unique or the things and events that shaped them along the way.”
These posters come to life when you look at the amazing detail in the creation of each image. Get to know the characters of Star Wars on a whole new level. Stunning costumes, models, and artwork from the films. A complete interactive immersion into the world of Star Wars.
Here’s the full press release with all of the details:
For 35 years, audiences around the world have followed the adventures of Luke and Anakin Skywalker, the Jedi heroes of a galaxy far, far away. And now, a new exciting exhibition comes to our own galaxy with Star Wars Identities, a redefined modern exhibition experience in which we will rediscover the unforgettable characters of Star Wars in a whole new way. From the team that brought you Indiana Jones and the Adventure of Archaeology, this new innovative exhibition, made possible by Lucasfilm Ltd. and produced by Montreal’s X3 Productions, will make use of an extensive collection from the Lucasfilm Archives to explore the sciences of identity through the characters of Star Wars. The world premiere of this exhibition will be held at the Montreal Science Centre, starting on April 19, 2012.
A stunning collection from the Lucasfilm Archives, a customized, interactive identity quest, and insightful scientific content will all work together in Star Wars Identities to follow the dramatic journeys of Luke and Anakin Skywalker, cinema’s most famous father and son duo. Visitors will develop a better understanding of what makes the characters of Star Wars who they are, and at the same time explore their own identity with one question, at once simple and profound: “What forces shape you?”
Star Wars Identities will premiere at the Montreal Science Centre from April 19 through September 16, 2012. Tickets are on sale now!

My wife and son went through this exhibit in Montreal two days ago; it blew them away and they are still talking non stop about it. The guide said you can do it in 90 minutes but they were in there for hours. We are all going back again in a few weeks. The posters are out-of-this-world, and we plan on picking up several of them to mount them in our new home theatre room. I know the exhibit will be touring through several cities here in Canada, and then on from there.
YOu don’t want to miss it if it come near you.

I have to be honest I did not see the show; my wife and son did. I could not make it but they have talked non-stop of its awesomeness. WE are planning a return trip wich will include me.
They brought back the pamplet and the posters are amazing; you can see them on the Web. They did not get any because the show just opened in Montreal and all the posters were still only in French, but my wife was told the English posters will be ready in the next week or so. Of the bunch, we’re planning on picing up 3-4 and mouting them in our Home Theatre room. Also, I do not recall they price (I did ask my wife) but she did say they were reasonably priced. There was other stuff there other then the posters. Hope you get to see it! I did read that they will NOT be selling the posters and Mech on thier Web site; that may change, not sure.

Yeah, I just saw that they are not selling anything online. THAT seems like a missed opportunity for them. I will keep my fingers crossed that they make it down here to Southern California!
