[ Star Wars Exhibit Opens in Korea ]
Whether you want to see R2-D2 up close and personal, or get a glimpse at Anakin Skywalker's Jedi fighter as seen in Episode III, there's something for every fan at the Star Wars Science and Art exhibit traveling through Korea for the first time ever.

During July 1 to October 22, the exhibit is in Busan BEXCO (home to the Busan International Film Festival) and then will travel to Seoul in November. The expansive exhibit is broken down into various pavilions which showcase props, arts and activities. In the Main Pavilion all the film costumes and props are displayed following the storyline of the saga starting with Episode I and ending with Episode VI. Maquettes of General Grievous, Wookiees, battle droids, as well as models of the Millennium Falcon, Darth Vader's TIE fighter and the Imperial Scout Walker are just a few of the items showcased.

Visitors can also watch a 15-minute documentary on Star Wars visual effects, or learn more about the background of such planets as Naboo, Tatooine and Mustafar.

In addition to the numerous costumes, artwork, and full character props, fans can also check out the Blue Screen Experience Zone where they can step inside a movie scene and understand how blue screen technology works. For fans wanting to take a snapshot with beloved Star Wars characters, there's the Photo Zone.
