The Force lands in Australia this November

This November, The Fans Strike Back exhibition will make its Australian debut at The District Docklands. Following its record-breaking tour across New York, Los Angeles, London, Madrid, and Paris, this immersive showcase features one of the world’s largest private collections of Star Wars’ inspired memorabilia, offering fans an unparalleled journey through the iconic universe. This dynamic experience promises to captivate both Jedi and Sith alike.

Fans of all ages from across the world have visited the exhibition in awe. “This is more than just an exhibition; it’s a journey through the Star Wars universe. I loved the interactive elements that let me step into scenes I’ve watched on screen for years” exclaimed Nate G, a fan from Santa Monica.

“We’re thrilled to bring The Fans Strike Back to Australia for the very first time,” said Adrian Marchesani, Director at RTA Entertainment. “This exhibition celebrates not only the artistry behind the iconic universe but also how science fiction can inspire fans across generations. We can’t wait for Australian audiences to experience the magic of this galaxy like never before.”
