Star Wars and the Power of Costume

http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/d/d/d/1/600_443936785.jpeg

Featuring 70 hand-crafted costumes from the first six blockbuster Star Wars™ films, this exhibition reveals the artists’ creative process—and uncovers the connection between character and costume. George Lucas imagined and created a fantastical world filled with dynamic characters who told the timeless story of the hero’s journey. The costumes shaped the identities of these now famous characters, from the menacing black mask of Darth Vader and the gilded suit of C-3PO, to the lavish royal gowns of Queen Amidala and a bikini worn by Princess Leia when enslaved by Jabba the Hutt. A special presentation for the showing at Discovery Times Square in New York will feature seven additional costumes from the highly anticipated film, Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Miriam and her daughter and I am my son are going into the city to see this exhibition. Anyone who wants to is more than welcome to meet us there.

I plan to drive us in as I know how to find cheap parking but I only have room for the 4 of us. If others want to drive in I can tell you my parking info once I book it. Or you can train it or bus it or ferry in, whatever way you are accustomed to getting to the city. We got tickets for the 2pm entrance time on Nov 22nd. I imagine we will walk around NY some afterwards and grab some dinner somewhere in the area.
