TRAVEL, HOME, AUTO, MONEY — ama.ab.ca THE ORIGINAL Star Wars fi lm introduced us to Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Yoda; The Phantom Menace to Anakin Sky- walker, Padmé Amidala and Jar Jar Binks. Get to know them all again at Star Wars Identities, on now to April 1, 2013 at Edmonton's Telus World of Science. This exploration of people and life forms who hail from planets such as Tatooine, Hoth and Endor is partly a Strikes Back The Exhibition memorabilia collection – puppets, props, costumes, models and artwork from the fi lms and spinoff TV series, Star Wars: The Clone Wars. But it's also an educational journey into human identity. Interactive displays on evolution, upbringing and culture explain, through the mythos of Star Wars, how nature and nurture combine to shape every aspect of our being. How could Luke Skywalker and his father Anakin grow up on the same planet but turn out so differently? How can the loner Hans Solo and his Wookiee co- pilot Chewbacca be from such distinct worlds yet get along so well? Create your own Star Wars character to fi nd out. Choose one of 15, from Ewok to Rodian, then work your way through 10 stations, where your choices determine your character's destiny. As in life, the factors that imbue you with the Force – or let you to slip to the Dark Side – are one part decision, one part roll of the dice. This is the droid you're looking for: C-P30 himself; (above right) kids get into their characters at the Telus World of Science Star Wars Identities exhibition. telusworldofscience edmonton.com –Natasha Mekhail 10 WESTWORLD >> NOVEMBER 2012 (C-3PO) 2012 Lucasfilm Ltd. & TM.
