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.

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...

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:

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! :oops: ). 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!

Group 1:

01 - Maul.jpg


02 - R2-D2 & C-3PO.jpg


03 - Amidala.jpg


04 - Boba Fett.jpg


05 - Han & Chewie.jpg


06 - Falcon & Destroyer.jpg


07 - Boba Fett 2.jpg


08 - Naboo N-1.jpg


09 - Naboo N-1 2.jpg


10 - TIE Fighter.jpg

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!
