It's 30 years since the release of the first instalment of George Lucas's epic sci-fi adventure and County Hall is celebrating the anniversary with a major exhibition of memorabilia.

The items are on loan from the Lucasfilm Archives in California and include Darth Vader's costume, Queen Amidala's wardrobe, Anakin Skywalker's pod racer and the original models of droids C3PO and R2D2 and Jedi master Yoda
Visitors will also be able to take part in rigorous Jedi training and will be able to join their favourite characters on screen with the help of green screen simulation.
