Jo'Ann Low (R) dressed as Twi'lek pilot from the Stars Wars films, look nervous in front of Darth Vader at the launch of 'Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination' exhibition developed by the Boston Museum of Science, in collaboration with Lucasfilm Ltd, and now showing at Scienceworks in Melbourne on June 2, 2009. It is the first exhibition to showcase costumes and props from all six Star Wars movies while exploring cutting-edge research and modern technologies that could one day make the fantasy world of Star Wars a reality. The exhibition explores the fantasy technologies depicted in the Star Wars movies, the real science behind them, and the latest research that may someday lead to remarkable real-world equivalents.
