Star Wars' exhibit on its way to Anchorage


From outer-space to Alaska-- Darth Vader will face off against Luke Skywalker at the Anchorage Museum.

Tickets went on sale Tuesday for "Star Wars: Where science meets imagination."

The traveling exhibit features popular "Star Wars" memorabilia like Darth Vader's original suit, a life sized C3PO, and you can even climb inside the Millenium Falcon's cockpit for a trip through space.

The exhibit runs Feb. 10 - April 25.

"Star Wars, it's attractive to all ages. I think kids now love it because of the Star Wars ‘Clone Wars.' I think people in their 30s like me, it's all about memorabilia. We remember when the movies came out in the 70s, it's multi-generational, I think. It spans from kids to old folks too." said Jara Haas with the museum.

The exhibit comes to Anchorage from Australia.

Tickets are available at the Anchorage Museum or on its Web site.
