If you are looking for a different kind of gift, something that will stay with the recipient forever, you just cannot go wrong with this one. The Dublin Invasion promises to be a perfect gift for all Star Wars fans…
Sci Fi conventions have been labelled as maybe a bit geeky, but Emerald Garrison’s Dublin Invasion is the real deal. This is an exhibition of what is, to many, the best loved film of our childhoods.
This Easter weekend (April 23rd, 24th and 25th), Dublin will host the invasion. The exhibition is recognised as one of the most professional in the world. The attractions include the most amazing replica props.
Emerald Garrison have delivered authentic and realistic models, such as life size Y wing fighter and life size AT ST walker (!), speeder bike, Sith speeder bike and skiff.
You can get photos with Darth Vader, Princess Leia, R2-D2, the menacing Emperor and Darth Maul. Storm Troopers will also be there to maintain order, so best behaviour is advised!
The working model of R2D2, whirling around the exhibition is like an electronic Pied Piper, and it’s not just the kids who give chase!
Some high profile members of the original cast will be present, so bring your autograph books! Already confirmed at Dublin Invasion are Kenny Baker (R2D2), Paul Blake (Greedo), Michael John Kingma (Tarfful the Wookie), Julian Glover (General Veers), Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett) and Garrick Hagon (Biggs Darklighter), not forgetting mega collector and Star Wars author Steve Sansweet.
I challenge you to find a better day out. This, for me, represents an awesome gift idea for young and old.
I am going, and I am counting down the days. A full report on this stunning Star Wars exhibition will follow…..
