Deep down in the stores, one object of extraordinary
craftsmanship has been invited to make a star appearance
in a new theatre and performance display. This is where he lives,
where all the film costumes are. This very special costume is from a galaxy far, far away. And now curator Keith
needs to spruce it up for its new starring role. It's an extraordinary object.
For quite some time, we thought it was a replica
and not a real thing. Here's the main elements. When you lift the box off
the costume, all you see are these white bits of pieces of
plastic. Part of the leg, part of
the shoulder and the upper arm. These plastic parts make up one
of the most recognisable figures in film history -
a Star Wars stormtrooper

one object of extraordinary
craftsmanship has been invited
00:00:07.048 --> 00:00:10.044
