Star Wars Identities is a new interactive museum exhibit, created by Lucasfim Ltd and Montreal’s X3 Productions, that explores the concept of identity through character-driven study, focusing especially on the development of Luke and Anakin Skywalker. The experience is described as a “customized interactive identity quest” through which visitors will develop a better understanding of what makes the Star Wars characters who they are, while examining their own identity with one simple question: What forces shape you? In seeking to map out the concept of identity, the exhibit will highlight three major themes: origins of the characters, the influences that shape them, and the choices they make during their life. “Making-of” featurettes will trace the development of several iconic Star Wars characters, revealing how they became who they are and the choices that could have led them to different paths. The exhibit will showcase a vast collection from the Lucasfilm archives, consisting of some 200 objects including props, models, costumes and artwork. The pieces span the entire Star Wars canon — the original Star Wars films, the prequel trilogy, and animated Cone Wars feature.
