Star Wars exhibit explores identities through art

In preparation for a Star Wars exhibition which, ahem, explores the theme of personal identity in both ourselves and characters from the film, advertisers have released a series of stunning portraits.

Each of the following posters, knocked out by ad agency Bleublancrouge, focuses on inspiration from a character's individuality, from the events that shaped them, to the things that make them unique, the official Star Wars blog gushes.

Let us know your interpretations in the comments section.

The Star Wars Identities exhibit opens in Montreal, Canada on 19 April and heads to Edmonton on 27 October. For a larger look at the images in detail, click here for the Star Wars Flickr slideshow. ®
