Did anyone go to London in 2000 to The Art of Star Wars Exhibition

Saw this on eBay:

Reminded me when I went was fantastic had the same leaflet to get the Mini Poster.

Yes, at the Barbican. Still have a few momentos in a box somewhere. I love'd you could work the animatronics on Ree Yees.

It's similar the current one st the o2.

Yes I went to that, it was fantastic.
I still have the leaflet with C-3P0 on it looking through the picture frame.

 

[StarWarsFan]

Nice one, yep good times. I still have that leaflet as well.

 

[SAVORY100]

Yep, I went. I still have a couple of pens, flyers and a Ray Park signed exhibition poster knocking around somewhere...

I didn't see it at the Barbican but I did see it at the Photography museum in Bradford later that year. Cracking exhibition - I particularly remember seeing the Logray costume, the Star Destroyer prop, R2 and 3PO. I have some pictures somewhere, I'm just not sure where...

Yes I went to that, with the pod racer you could sit in for photo's, and remember seeing the land speeder with Steve Austin, bionic man at the controls, dressed as Luke photo's bit naff but still had my camera for the 80's

 

[StarWarsFan]

Thanks for sharing the photos, good times.

It was a excellent show, I remember I had an ex-girlfriend with me and she hurried me through. Wish I'd gone alone so I could have soaked more of it in. Oh to be 21 again :lol:

 

[StarWarsFan]

lol yer good times.

 

[andygo]

Yep, that was one of the best touring exhibitions for any movie I've ever seen. Mindblowing...
I've got a bunch of photographs from it somewhere...yep ...actual photographs...remember them !!!
God knows where they are, I'll have to see if I can find them someday...

I also went to the Barbican Exhibition and thoroughly enjoyed it. Like others, I too have some photos, which I have scanned this evening and post below at the risk of hijacking this thread somewhat (please accept my apologies StarWarsFan! ). I went as part of a group and it's not really fair to show their faces without permission, hence the masking! :-D

Lastly, apologies for the less than stellar picture quality. This was most definitely before my first digital camera!

Yes, I went down to London especially. It was great. I got in free with my Blue Peter Badge! - thinking about it I'm pretty sure I was too old at the time to still be using my Blue Peter Badge! :lol:

I've still got some merch knocking around - i'll see if i can dig it out and add a few pics...
It was a pre-digital camera age so I've got a physical album of photos somewhere too!

We were really lucky because we wend just for the exhibition but found out whilst we were there that Ray Park was signing at Forbidden Planet the same weekend!

 

[StarWarsFan]

Nice one, glad you had fun. More pictures would be fantastic.

 

[adampbooth]

There's not really anything on it but the Barbican web page is actually still online!
