SMUGGLERS, JEDI, AND DROIDS ARRIVE AT MADAME TUSSAUDS LONDON

Via Starwars.com:

After a week of press previews and a VIP launch on Wednesday night that saw Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett from the original trilogy and Captain Colton in Revenge of the Sith) meet Pip Anderson from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the new Star Wars experience at Madame Tussauds London is open to the public.

Millions of people have been through the doors of Madame Tussauds in London since they first opened over 200 years ago, and it remains just as popular as it ever was with daily crowds lining up outside to get in — even without a Star Wars exhibit. There’s been a need for a dedicated permanent Star Wars exhibit in London, arguably the spiritual home of the movies, since they were created and filmed here in the ’70s and ’80s, again for the prequels and now for the sequels and new Anthology series of films.

Well, our pleas have been answered. After a year in the making — working collaboratively with Disney and Lucasfilm — Madame Tussauds delivers on its promise of one of the most breathtaking displays of Star Wars characters you’ll ever experience. This new immersive experience allows you to get up close and personal with your favorite Star Wars characters, brought to life as wax models.
