Being a pretty big North American city, Montreal plays host to a lot of great cultural events. One exhibition we've been keen to get to is Star Wars Identities at the Montreal Science Centre and it was fantastic!

| Two excited kids waiting to go in with their imaginary light sabres... |
There are two main parts to the exhibition - one part is an amazing collection of 200 pieces of original costumes, props, models and sketches from all six Star Wars movies.
 |
| R2-D2 |
 |
| Yoda and Little Miss D |
 |
| Padme Amidala's costumes as worn by Natalie Portman. |
The second part of the exhibition was an interactive adventure to create our own Star Wars characters! This was so cool and really appealed to techno obsessed kids. Via a wrist band with a memory chip installed we answered a series of questions about who and what we wanted our "characters"
to be. The system of questions and explanations that helped you decided on answers was so well executed with a perfect blend of information and technology.
 |
| It was a no brainer that Little Miss D would be an Ewok!!! |
By the end of the exhibit we each came away with a character complete with detailed back story and of course we all had to decide if we would choose the dark side... only Action Boy chose to join forces with Darth Vader!

| Fanta Pants' creation - Lord Fanta |
 |
| Little Miss D's partially finished Ewok - typically for a 3 year old she lost interest half way around!! |
