Sci-Fi fans out there are no doubt very excited about the Star Wars Exhibition being held in London this month and continuing through September. The event is a European celebration for the 30th anniversary of the Star Wars phenomenon. The touring exhibit will give fans a chance to see some of the costumes and vehicles used in the films as well as original film props, costumes and art. The displays include a life-size Naboo N-1 Starfighter and Luke Skywalker’s landspeeder hovercraft. If you always fancied yourself as a Jedi a taste of the training will be available with a Jedi knight, using a green screen and light sabres to put you into the action. There are rumours that bad guy Darth Vader might put in an appearance. The exhibition is on now at County Hall, Westminster (close to the London Eye).

To top off the Star Wars celebrations in London, a ‘Star Wars Celebration Europe’ party will be held at the ExCel London exhibition centre from 13-15 July. It will include celebrities from all six films, exhibits, merchandise, and much more. For information visit: www.celebrationeurope.com.
Star Wars events have been held throughout the U.S. on a regular basis over the years. However, as four of the six films were actually shot in the UK it makes London the perfect place for this first major European Star Wars event. If you’ll be in Los Angeles during May a Star Wars Celebration IV event is planned at the Los Angeles Convention Centre from May 24 through May 28. For information visit: www.gencon.com/2007/swciv.
According to reports from Star City, Russia, cosmonauts would rather stay in space than return to Earth if they had the choice. The problem is that being mere humans they suffer from muscle wasting after any length of time at zero-gravity. Despite daily workouts on the space station they have to re-learn how to walk upon return to Earth. Space tourism is readily available to those who have a few spare million to spend. You’d think with all that money they could afford a crash course at Jedi School to iron out these annoying mortal problems.
For those who don’t have the spare cash Buzz Aldrin, the second astronaut to walk on the moon, announced plans to hold a lottery for a ticket into outer-space http://www.sharespace.org/.
