Star Wars at Madame Tussauds London: Figures, scenes & photo opportunities

Madame Tussauds Star Wars zone has plenty to look forward to. The dedicated area brings together familiar heroes, villains and droids in scenes inspired by some of the saga's most memorable moments.

From facing Darth Vader and Yoda to joining Chewbacca aboard the Millennium Falcon, the Star Wars wax museum section is designed around recognisable characters and locations rather than rows of figures behind barriers. Newer fans can also meet Ahsoka Tano and The Mandalorian with Grogu, while longtime fans get plenty of callbacks to the films.

Here's everything worth knowing before visiting the Star Wars section at Madame Tussauds London.

What else can you see in the Star Wars area?

The biggest appeal of the Star Wars at Madame Tussauds London is its use of recognisable environments. Each setting gives the figures a little more context and creates natural photo opportunities.

Duel of the Fates

The clash between Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Maul recreates one of the prequels' most memorable lightsaber battles. This is an obvious stop for prequel fans and anyone who considers Duel of the Fates essential Star Wars viewing.

Mustafar

The fiery setting of Mustafar recreates Anakin Skywalker's confrontation with Obi-Wan Kenobi. The dramatic environment makes this one of the more atmospheric scenes in the area, especially for fans of Revenge of the Sith.

Tatooine

C-3PO and R2-D2 appear together in a recreation of the desert world. It's a particularly fun stop for younger fans who know the droids as much from the wider Star Wars universe as from the original films.

Millennium Falcon

Chewbacca takes his place at the controls of the Millennium Falcon, giving visitors a chance to pose beside one of the saga's most famous ships. For many fans, this is one of the easiest photo opportunities to turn into a full Han Solo-style cockpit moment.

Death Star Walkway

Stormtroopers line the corridors of the Death Star, recreating the unmistakable setting of the Empire's battle station. This is a good spot for group photographs, particularly if the goal is to recreate the feeling of joining the Rebel Alliance... or defecting to the Empire.

Dagobah

Yoda waits among the swamps and forests of Dagobah, bringing one of Luke Skywalker's most important training locations to Madame Tussauds. Younger Jedi can pose beside the legendary Master, while longtime fans may recognise the setting immediately.

Jabba's Throne Room

Jabba the Hutt, Salacious B. Crumb and Princess Leia appear together in Jabba's throne room. The scene gives visitors something quite different from the lightsaber battles elsewhere in the area and works particularly well for group photographs.

Ahsoka and The Mandalorian

The Star Wars offering also reaches beyond the films, with dedicated settings for Ahsoka Tano and The Mandalorian with Grogu. That matters for younger visitors and Disney+ fans who may know Ahsoka, Din Djarin and Grogu better than some of the original trilogy characters.

Best Star Wars photo opportunities at Madame Tussauds
