Billed as an ‘absolute must see for fans of Star Wars’, the exhibition features one of the UK’s finest collections of vintage Star Wars toys and original cinema posters, celebrating the vintage toy line as well as the iconic design and art of the movies.
Auctioneer Richard Winterton said: “As a lifelong Star Wars fan, The Force is certainly with this spectacular exhibition which is already inspiring people to hunt out their old Star Wars toys and memorabilia.
“Now with three film trilogies and numerous spin-offs, Stars Wars is more popular than ever and the Force is especially strong for original toys and memorabilia.
“It’s a perfect time to see what they might make under the hammer, so we’re deploying our own Imperial Probe Droid to join in the search!”
