An event created by fans, for fans - that's the promise of"Fans of the Galaxy", an exhibition revolving around the Star Wars universe opening this Thursday, July 27, and running until September 4. In the corridors of 116 rue de Turenne (in the 3rd arrondissement), you'll be able to discover almost 600 objects paying tribute to the saga, created by fans from private collections.

These include spaceships, ATSTs and Pod Racers, as well as life-size statues of cult characters. The gallery is made up of several areas, evoking different planets in the Star Wars universe (Tatooine, Endor and Hott), as well as a Lego area for the little ones. With the Ahsoka series due on August 23 on Disney+, interest in the Star Wars license is as keen as ever.
The "Fans of the Galaxy" exhibition is open daily from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and promises great memories for all Star Wars fans. This summer, the Force will be with Parisians!
Our opinion
With hand-made costumes, life-size statues, a complete collection of helmets and set reproductions, the Fans of the Galaxy exhibition is going all out! From the first films to the latest Disney+ productions, no part of the Star Wars universe is left out, and the collection is impressive. With a soundtrack that immerses us in George Lucas' galaxy, we set off to discover this patchwork of many different creations. A huge, life-size playground for all collectors and rare object enthusiasts.
What's more, as the majority of the characters are helmeted, their life-size statues bear little resemblance to those actually seen in the films. In fact, coming face-to-face with a larger-than-life Darth Vader underlines his terrifying, monumental aspect.
But what will appeal most to visitors are the set reproductions, as well as the enormous Pod Racer, the highlight of the show, which we'd love to ride. However, while the exhibition is rich in content, the tour takes a little time, and the full price is a bit steep for a 20-30 minute visit (if you linger at all). And since the objects come from private collections, it's a shame we don't have the references of the items on display. We would have liked to know the authors, and the circumstances of production of these works.
