STAR WARSIdentities, a unique museum experience that combines a stunning collection from the Lucasfilm Archives, a customized, interactive identity quest, and insightful scientific content,  is an international touring exhibition produced by X3 Productions inc., and gsm project, that has been touring 13 citieis across the globe attracting more than 2 million visitors since 2012.

From A to Z

Even though STAR WARS™ is a universally beloved cinema franchise, the client had difficulty to secure a touring slot in Japan since the beginning of its tour. We identified potential local presenters, adopted pitch material to a winning one,  facilitated this opportunity and accompanied the negotiation and contractual discussion. With the support in partnering with Speedy Inc., we successfully promoted this content opportunity to Sony Music Solutions Inc., and the other investors to open this exhibition at the Terada Warehouse, Tokyo on August 8th, 2019. Throughout the process until the closing of the files, we performed our international facilitation and project management services cross-sectors among legal, management, marketing, pre-production, merchandising, production and exhibition operation of all stakeholders.
