EXHIBIT OVERVIEW

Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination, presented by Bose Corporation, takes the fiction out of sci-fi, focusing on technological advances that may make our future as thrilling as the movies. Using the familiar imagery of the six Star Wars films as a springboard for the imagination, this exhibition explores several themes, including:

•	Getting Around Star Wars vehicles use fantasy “repulsorlift” technology to hover and fly into space. Real world engineers are making strides toward vehicles with similar capabilities.
•	Robots and People It’s a huge challenge to build a robot that can do seemingly simple things, like walk. Compare fantasy droids alongside real-world robots.
•	Adapting to the Environment Travel to four Star Wars worlds and learn how the inhabitants use technology to adapt to their environments: Hoth (arctic); Tatooine (desert); Coruscant (metropolis); and Kashyyyk (forest).
•	Robotics and Medicine Explore the use of prosthetics and medical implants in the Star Wars universe and the real world. Many robotics technologies relate to the artificial replacement of limbs and organs, blurring the line between human and robot.

To delve into these themes, the exhibition features more than 80 film props and related objects, exclusive video footage, and more than a dozen interactive exhibits. Highlights include:

•	Authentic props and costumes such as Darth Vader's menacing black armor, Princess Leia’s ceremonial white gown and a full-size R2-D2.
•	Luke Skywalker's landspeeder from Episode IV.
•	Amazing real-world robot technology, such as a personal assistant robot designed for NASA astronauts.

More than 2 million people worldwide have visited this exhibition, which was organized by the Museum of Science, Boston, and Lucasfilm Ltd.
