Really exciting news for Star Wars fans in China! Now you can experience the life of a Jedi as never before because a brand new experience exhibition based on Star Wars is opening to the public in Beijing. Visitors will be able to literally step inside the stories of the epic Hollywood film series.

The upcoming Star Wars exhibition was announced on Tuesday afternoon in the capital. It starts this June and will run for two years. Beijing will be the first stop but it will also tour five other cities in China. Organizers say it's going to plunge fans into the Star Wars universe where they can move in a multi-sensory adventure. According to the co-organizer, 366 DAYS Corporation, a truly transformative experience is so much more than what people see with their eyes: it's what they hear, feel, touch and even smell.

Visitors can become active participants and interact with their friends and Star Wars characters, thanks to a combination of the magic of illusions, cutting-edge technology and virtual reality.

The Star Wars franchise began in 1977 with the release of the film, "A New Hope". It was followed by 7 sequels in three trilogies. The first seven films were nominated for Academy Awards, with wins going to the first two films released. The series have been a huge commercial success, with a combined box office revenue of over 8.5 billion US dollars. SW CGTN.
