Star Wars: The Magic of Myth
Until July 7th 2002
With all the hype accompanying George Lucas's latest, “Star Wars: Episode
II - Attack of the Clones”, some lucky museum was destined to host this
exhibition. The Brooklyn Museum of Art is the last stop for this travelling
tour of Star Wars hoopla. On view are the original costumes, props and
artwork used to create the Star Wars movie trilogy, as well as the
disappointing “Episode I: The Phantom Menace”.
Don't expect much in the way of thoughtful analysis here. Rather, immerse
yourself in a world of Yoda and Chewbacca models, and get an eye-full of
Princess Leia's harem costume. But be prepared to wrestle with devout fans
(some young, many alarmingly old) if you want to get a closer look at the
model of C-3PO on display.
The Brooklyn Museum of Art, 200 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY.
