The eagerly-awaited Star Wars prop exhibition has opened- and our man in London, Mark Mawston was given exclusive access. Here is his report: Cinema Retro was invited to attend the special launch party of Star Wars: The Exhibition, held appropriately enough on May 4th 2007. The exhibition, which officially opened its doors the following day, celebrates 30 years of the much loved film series and is an Aladdin’s cave of props and costumes. Its opening in Portugal last year attracted more than 150,000 visitors in the space of two months.
