Dear Jeff:
I just saw the Star Wars (TM) Identitities exhibit yesterday at the Telus World Of Science here in Edmonton yesterday. Its a fascinating interactive exhibit with actual displays of Star Wars (TM) costumes, sketches, storyboards, as well as displays where kids & students of all ages can pick out which character that they feel most closely relates to them. There are videos with audio commentaries on genetic makeup, traits, & how the temptation to either join the "good" or "dark" side is in all of us.
There are many commentaries of a scientific nature on outer space, scientific frontiers, as well as how we are parented or raised can have a good &/or bad affect on how we make decisions & what our life course will be based on those decisions. The displays also talked about a tolerance for not just other people, but other species as well. Which of course means a tolerance IV other races, religions, & cultures here on the planetoid Earth since we do not know at this juncture if there is actually any alien life on other planets.
It was certainly an interesting exhibit & I would definitely recommend it II science fans, as well as parents who want II get their youngsters interested in perhaps pursuing scienctific endeavours. George Lucas deserves a lot of credit IV creating such a diverse outer space culture & really getting that there is both good & evil in all of us. He really gets the human nature aspect of life!
Mickey Mouse Owns Luke Skywalker Can U Believe It,
