"Star Wars" fans can come face to face with the heroes and villains of the sci-fi universe at a new interactive experience at London wax museum Madame Tussauds, which has recreated scenes from one of the most popular movie franchises of all time.
A team of 180 sculptors, hair artists, colourists, set designers and prop makers took more than a year to recreate 11 famous "Star Wars" scenes, including the iconic one when Darth Vader reveals he is Luke Skywalker's father.
The new experience, complete with lightsaber sound and space visual effects, comes ahead of the much-anticipated next instalment "Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens", scheduled for release in December.
The museum said it had worked closely with Walt Disney Co and "Star Wars" producer Lucasfilm to bring the sets together.
"We approached Lucas(film) to say we want to create an experience that's never been done before," Madame Tussauds London General Manager Ben Sweet said.
