The Art of Star Wars

Overview

Listen up, you scruffy-looking nerf herders. Star Wars: The Force Awakens is in theatres in less than a fortnight, and the anticipation is tearing through us like a hungry wampa through a tauntaun. Luckily, the team at Silver K Art Gallery have got exactly the right thing to tide us over until midnight on opening day.

Commissioned by Lucasfilm, The Art of Star Wars features more than 150 pieces of original art that takes visitors "on a journey through the life and times of the whole Star Wars saga". You can check out samples on the gallery website – trust us, your inner geek will thank you. All in all, it's the largest exhibition of Star Wars art to ever hit Australia.

The exhibition also features a number of artworks inspired by iconic superheroes, which should inspire plenty of conversations about whether Darth Vader could beat Loki in a fight. Spoiler alert: he totally could.
