Madame Tussauds, the museum that immortalizes celebrities in wax form, has taken on a most ambitious project: Star Wars.

The new exhibit, open May 16, offers an “immersive experience featuring 16 of the most famous heroes and villains in scenes from some of the most iconic moments featured in Star Wars Episodes I – VI,” states the site.

And for about $35 (if you pre-buy tickets online, about $52 at the door), you can take in wax figures of your Star Wars favorites, like Jabba the Hutt and Princess Leia in that infamous bikini, Han Solo kicking back, and Yoda in his Dagobah swamp scene. In all, they have remade 11 of the film series’ most iconic scenes.

And while some celebrity wax figures tend to look like melted-down versions of themselves (sorry, Madame Tussauds, it’s true), the photos we’ve seen of the Star Wars exhibit look pretty right on.
