The Scotsman reports:

A sneak preview of the new Star Wars movie is to be offered in Edinburgh almost two months before it arrives on the big screen.

Costumes, models and artwork involved in the making of Attack of the Clones are expected to go on display at the City Art Centre.

They will be an exclusive addition to The Art of Star Wars exhibition that the Capital will be staging from March-September.

It was also announced today that fans? favourite Anthony Daniels, who played the robot C3PO in all four Star Wars films to date and is also in the new adventure, will open the exhibition.

well I might be goig to Edinburgh now

 

Feckin hell!!!!

 

I saw Art of SW at the Barbican in London, but, you know, big rush, other tourist things to do.
This is good news - a mere 45 minute train ride away, plus many pals to visit pub-wise aferwards - joy.

 

I saw it in London too

 

I also did but this means I can get to see it again as Edinburgh is only a hour and a half away.Which is closer than London at the moment.

 

Chewie in a glass case and the star destroyer models did it for me....

 

I'll see you there!

 

I saw it in London but the thought of seeing some AOTC goodies means I will definitely go to Edinburgh and see it again.

 

Yous wilny catch me in Embra...

...the feckers!

LOL

 

Visiting is okay, just don't stand still too long or your photo will end up on the front cover of Japanese Tourist monthly!

Oh wait...I was paid for that...and the magazine had a different name.

 

You can now book your tickets for the Art of Star Wars at the City Arts Centre, Edinburgh.

We'll station a garrison of troopers at Waverly Station to keep out all the moanin' Weegies.

ps I only live in Embra, I'm an exciled Buddy if any of you know what that means.

 

in yer Ferguslie slums
in yer Ferguslie slums
you look in a dustbin fur somethin tae eat
you find a dead rat and you think its a treat
in your Ferguslie slums

Buddies don't get exiled - they escape.....


only joking - I have several good pals from Paisley, and I meet up with them whenever they can give their parole officer the slip......

 

According to the site there will be no artefacts from AOTC until after the release of the film.

How long is it there for? I have hols to take for work, though I might skive a day off work and go and visit my uncle and do this too

Crikey min, I could be livin doon there by then!

 

if we do meet up over the summer we could go to that

 

how much will it cost and will the trains still be on strike?

 

exhibition entry costs £6 for adults
£4 for kids, I think.....

all the train strikes so far have been one day affairs, notified several days in advance - it shouldn'y be difficult to pick a day when the trains are running if you check the newspapers / teletext / Scotrail hotline...

worth noting, the City Art Galleries in Edinburgh are right next to Waverley Station, where all ncoming trains terminate..

 

The bus from Glasgow Buchanan Street was £5 return the last time I got it.

 

Oh yeah yeah....well I've got Celebration II in my backyard. Almost literally Wow that's really cool. I hope someone takes lots of pictures cause I'd love to see what all of you look like and what the exhibit looks like. I've never been to Magic of Myth and we have the *dinky* Art of the Starfighter here now. Which is pretty much...well... a Naboo Starfighter

 

Anyone been to visit this yet ?

I'm a spot too busy this month, but I reckon I'll make a day of it before AOTC comes out, just to get my fanboy muscles warmed up......

 

nope yet, we are seeing it in June

 

after AOTC comes out, the exhibition will be mobbed with kids....... I'm afraid a June visit might be a bit of an ice-cream and snotters rammy.

not that I don't like kids, or anything.
Grilled with tarragon butter and served on a bed of suedoise potatoes, they can be quite pleasant.......
