Last week the trailer for the new Star Wars movie, “The Force Awakens” was released and the world is once again gripped in Star Warsamania, or some such variation. Anyway on Sunday night I was looking for something light and appealing in the world of photography to cap off the week, when I discovered that Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum in London is launching a special exhibit to celebrate star wars. What could be better. As a preview there is a wonderful set of photographs on the official Madame Tussaud’s site. So now you may find Jabba the Hut holding Princess Leia captive in chains, and Yoda in the Dagobah Swamp (he be) and all of your favorites. The exhibit is meant to be an “immersive experience.”And there is something really other worldly and incongruous to see modern day people putting the finishing touches on these brilliant waxworks.
