New from The HoloFiles from Josh and George Bate: Star Wars Celebration’s Mandalorian Experience Allows Fans To Get Up Close and Personal With Screen-Used Props, Costumes, Prosthetics, Droids, Ships, and More
By George Bate, Josh Reilly B., and Julie Catherine
The Mandalorian Experience was a surprise announcement during Thursday’s Lucasfilm Studio Showcase at Star Wars Celebration and has quickly become one of our favorite parts of the event. The exhibit celebrates The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett by allowing fans to see real, screen-used props, costumes, miniatures, prosthetics, vehicles, and more up close in person. Dave Filoni warned the Celebration crowd not to touch anything as much of it needs to loaded on trucks and driven back to set to be used in future Star Wars projects. It’s impossible to grasp the level of detail and scale involved in the exhibit without experiencing it in person, but below is a full gallery of everything on display in The Mandalorian Experience.

The Mandalorian Experience was jaw-dropping to say the least. Immersive doesn’t begin to describe what it was like to be in and around real, screen-used props, costumes, models, and more. Being a Star Wars fan is terrific.
