SUMMARY:May The Toys Be With You
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 20 July – Saturday 14 September 2019 \nA must-see exhibition of vintage Star Wars toys and original cinema posters\nFrom a galaxy far, far away comes an absolute must see for fans of Star Wars and the silver screen – one of the UK’s finest collections of vintage Star Wars toys and original cinema posters is going on display in a stunning exhibition brought to you by Museums Worcestershire.\nBack when the movie Star Wars broke box office records in 1977 no one could have predicted that the merchandising would go on to earn even more than the film itself. The toys of Star Wars took the world by storm and became the must-have playthings for an entire generation. From 1977 – 1985 an estimated 300 million action figures were sold, allowing children to re-enact the adventures of Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Han Solo.\nMay The Toys Be With You is both a celebration of the now highly collectible vintage toy line and also of the iconic design work and art of the Star Wars movies. From X-Wing Fighters to lightsabers, these fantastical designs have fired our imaginations and stamped their place on our cultural landscape. For little kids and ‘big kids’ alike this is an unmissable opportunity to view many rarely seen Star Wars treasures, and young Jedi may even have an opportunity to dress up and wield a lightsaber themselves!\nSpecial events\nMuseum After Hours – Friday 16 August, 5.30 – 8pm, Free entry\nEnjoy after-hours access to the exhibition, with space-related cocktails and perhaps even some extra-terrestrial goings on!\nBite size talk: Return of the Teddi – Tuesday 13 August, 1 – 1.30pm, £3\nA 30-minute insight into Star Wars and other classic toys from the Museums Worcestershire collections, with our curator.\nSummer holiday activities\nThroughout the summer, there’s fun for Star Wars fans of all ages!
