  • Hey everyone! We're at the Starwars World.

  • It's called Starwars no sekai.

  • It's pretty cool! There's a long line that's like twenty minutes long.

  • I'm with Emily today

  • We're gonna go check it out. It's not that long of a line. Oh! They're moving!

  • This is everything right now in Japan.

  • And nestled in the city of the rising sun

  • lies an exhibition documenting the fandom that is Starwars.

  • When you step inside, the first thing you see are movie posters

  • showcasing the old and the new

  • Following that, a list of all the characters in the new movie release.

  • Impressive replicas of Rey and BB8

  • And hauntingly life-like versions of two stormtroopers and Kylo Ren.

  • It was the eve of the Aomori Nebuta festival;

  • a tradition that has continued for at least a few hundred years.

  • Japan decided to craft innovative Starwars based floats

  • and showcase them in honor of the new movie release.

  • The floats are about 5 meters high

  • and made with guidance from Lucasfilm and Aomori Prefecture.

  • Usually they depict samurai warriors but...

  • this time Japan decided to show their love for the Starwars franchise.

  • The pictures on the wall explain the creation and presentation of the floats

  • as well as the sapporo snow festival with an ice sculpture of Darth Vader

  • and Aomori's rice paddy art with characters we all know and love.

  • The last bit of the exhibition showcased distinct and artistic versions of BB8.

  • Let me know in the comments which one is your favorite

  • Enjoy!

  • Ok! So we just finished at the Starwars exhibition

  • And it was really cool!

  • It wasn't that big

  • but it was free and today was the last day.

  • It's only a limited time. Sorry guys.

  • I'm sure they will have something next year, I don't know.

  • Usually when things come out they usually have some exhibitions and things going on.

  • Yeah, maybe next year they will have something more interesting.

  • But, at least I got to show you guys so you don't have to come all the way here.

  • Thanks for watching! Bye guys!

Hey everyone! We're at the Starwars World.
