Star Wars®: Where Science Meets Imagination at Orlando Science Center

Star Wars®: Where Science Meets Imagination opens at the Orlando Science Center Saturday, October 13, 2012 and will be on display until April 7, 2013. Admission is $27 for adults and $20 for youth (ages 3-11). Tickets include access to Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination and all four floors of exhibits, giant screen films and live presentations.

Developed by the Museum of Science, Boston in collaboration with Lucasfilm Ltd. and presented by Bose Corporation©, the 10,000 square-foot exhibit explores the fantasy technologies depicted in the Star Wars films, as well as the real science behind them, and the current research that may someday lead to real-life versions of the technologies seen in the film series.

This is the first exhibition to display costumes and props from all six Star Warsfilms with real-world technologies. The exhibit includes extensive video interviews with filmmakers, scientists and engineers, and hands-on components, including two large Engineering Design Labs, where visitors can build and test their own speeders and robots.

Star Wars creator George Lucas remarks on the collaboration with the Museum of Science, Boston, “I'm happy that Star Wars can help to educate people about technology in an entertaining way. Technological innovation and filmmaking have a lot in common; they both begin with imagination and creativity.”
