“Star Wars: The Experience” estreia em Philly neste inverno — veja o que esperar

What Can I See at Star Wars: The Experience?

Star Wars: The Experience – A Journey Through the Galaxy  - running from February 13, 2027 through September 6, 2027 — is the largest and most comprehensive behind-the-scenes exhibition ever displayed about the beloved sci-fi movie franchise.

Look for wondrous interconnected galleries featuring immersive moments and RFID-powered experiences, plus deep dives on sound design and costume creation, including a vast collection of more than 70 screen-used artifacts.

Details and renderings about the new exhibition were teased at San Diego Comic-Con by actress Ashley Eckstein, the voice of Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars’ animated series.

The main takeaway? This is the closest you’ll ever get to the Guerra nas Estrelas universe without jumping in a starship — or a Zoom with George Lucas.

Movie Props

These on-screen artifacts, all on vivid display for the very first time, possess the power to transport you to a Hollywood movie set. Here are a few to look forward to:

• Darth Maul’s Lightsaber: a double-bladed weapon that ignites crimson-red plasma
• Darth Vader’s Costume: featuring arguably the most famous mask in cinema history
• Characters: fan-favorite droids and creatures like Grogu, R2-D2 and C-3PO
• Speeder Bike: a high-speed hovercraft, similar to the one stolen by Cassian and Luthen in Andor

Experiências interativas

These immersive rooms allow you to walk in your favorite character’s space boots while personalizing your own intergalactic journey:

• Queen Amidala’s Throne Room: Walk through a room of suspended fabric and projection, surrounded by voices and imagery of Guerra nas Estrelas costume designers, including Queen Amidala’s iconic red gown.
• Wireframe Worlds: This gallery showcases real sketch drawings and blueprints from famous Guerra nas Estrelas movie sets, anchored by a wireframe TIE fighter and diagrams of spaceships and other vehicles.
• Carbon Freeze Capture: Guests can experience a “carbon freeze” sequence and take a photo next to a prop of Han Solo frozen in carbonite, fusing storytelling and technology into a photo-ready moment.
• The Force Connects Us: Personalize your Guerra nas Estrelas journey (via RFID technology) by making personal choices that affect your final outcome, driven by how you align with the Force (the light side or the dark side) and the consequences that accompany that decision.
• 50 Years of Star Wars: Why should kids have all the fun? See more than 90 Guerra nas Estrelas collectible figurines and tooling samples, including at least 20 rare prototypes — some of which are on display for the first time — from Kenner and Hasbro.
