What's So British About Star Wars?
Star Wars has always had a presence at BritishFest, but what connects the British Isles to the Galaxy Far, Far Away? The answers lie in the history of the films' production. From Sir Alec Guinness and Peter Cushing to Daisy Ridley and John Boyega, from Pinewood Studios in London to Skellig Michael in Ireland... Star Wars just wouldn't be the same without the British people and places that have helped make it as amazing as it is for the last 41 years and counting!
Join Jedi Masters John P. & Amy B. as they salute the British influence over the world of Star Wars.
