MONTREAL, Sept. 6, 2012 /CNW Telbec/ - There are just 10 days left to see the exhibition that has fascinated thousands of visitors this summer: STAR WARS™ Identities is at the Montréal Science Centre until Sunday, September 16 only!

Produced by Montréal's own X3 Productions (gsmprjct°, L'Équipe Spectra and Bleublancrouge) for Lucasfilm Ltd, the one-of-a-kind and highly interactive STAR WARS Identities exhibition will soon be leaving the city to travel to the four corners of the globe, from Edmonton to Europe, Asia-Pacific Rim and Latin America, over the next six years.

STAR WARS Identities is extremely popular still, and demand for tickets is very high, so in order to give as many people as possible the chance to experience this exceptional adventure before it leaves, the exhibition hours will be extended until midnight for the final weekend: Thursday, September 13, Friday, September 14, and Saturday, September 15. STAR WARS Identities will officially close his doors in Montreal on Sunday, September 16, at 6 pm.

STAR WARS Identities

In addition to offering an impressive collection of some 200 objects from the Lucasfilm Archives, STAR WARS Identities is a highly interactive, character-driven adventure into the fascinating subject of human identity, based on the latest scientific research. As they travel through the Star Wars universe, visitors will rediscover their favorite characters in a whole new light. They will also develop a better understanding of their own complex identity. And through the magic of cutting-edge multimedia, they will be able to create their very own Star Wars character by combining elements of their own identity with those of their favourite fictional characters. They can later share these unique identities with friends and family via social media.

A scientifically solid exhibition

STAR WARS Identities explores the science and study of human identity through the lives of the Star Wars characters (as well as our own) and is divided into three major themes  within the exhibition: the characters' origins, the influences that shaped them, and the personal choices that altered their lives.

The Montréal Science Centre is proud to have helped develop the exhibition's scientific content with an advisory committee composed of experts from a variety of scientific fields including psychology, neuropsychology and genetics.

Critics are unanimous: this is a highly successful exhibition, with a wealth of unusual and exciting content.

Information and box office
Due to overwhelming demand, it is highly recommended to reserve in advance.

About Star Wars

The May 25, 1977 theatrical debut of Star Wars - on a scant 32 screens across America - was destined to change the face of cinema forever. An instant classic and an unparalleled box office success, the rousing "space opera" was equal parts fairy tale, western, 1930s serial and special effects extravaganza, with roots in mythologies from cultures around the world. From the mind of visionary writer/director George Lucas, the epic space fantasy introduced the mystical Force into the cultural vocabulary, as well as iconic characters such as evil Darth Vader, idealistic Luke Skywalker, feisty Princess Leia, lovable scoundrel Han Solo and wise Obi-Wan Kenobi. Since its 1977 debut, Star Wars has continued to grow, its lush narrative expanding from modest beginnings into an epic, six-film Saga chronicling the fall and redemption of The Chosen One, Anakin Skywalker.
