Featuring an array of items from the Lucasfilm Archives in California, Star Wars The Exhibition London gives visitors a rare glimpse inside the making of the epic movies. Also enjoy several interactive activities from Jedi training to a green screen simulation that puts you right into the movie! This exhibition is truly fun for all ages.

It was directed by George Lucas. This original Star Wars film was renamed Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope and was re-released in 1997 with re-mixed sound, some scenes improved with digital technology and some footage added. The second film released was The Empire Strikes Back in 1980. The cast once again featured Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher. This movie was renamed Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back.
