How the Star Wars: Identities exhibition is basically like one big personality quiz

You get to answer questions about yourself to see what type of alien you’d be.

Star Wars fans will be all too familiar with the path Anakin Skywalker chooses in the sci-fi saga but what if he had gone down a different, much lighter one?

That is basically what Star Wars: Identities wants to get you thinking about – why the film’s characters made the choices they did and what kind of choices you would make if you were in their far away galaxy.

After picking your species, you wander around the rooms answering questions on your upbringing, your outlook on life, how strong the force is with you and, crucially, whether you would turn to the dark side.

At the end, you get to meet your hero and see a fun take on how your life would look on another planet. For me, as a musician and livestock farming Ewok living on the planet Naboo, it sounds pretty entertaining.
