TW Out & About: Princess Leia & Celebrity Murals In Belfast

By and photos copyright of Owen Quinn author

So one day when I was heading towards the Titanic Quarter, we were driving across the dual carriageway when I looked down to my left and saw Princess Leia looking up at me. I had seen other celebrity faces there before notably Jack Nicholson on another trip.

I had to see it close up simply because of the Star Wars connection so made a point of finding out exactly what part of the city this mural was in. And lo and behold it was closer than I thought. So I finally got down and had a look for myself and was surprised to find she was joined by another Star Wars legend, Harrison Ford and some other legends. These murals are the work of the talented students up at the Art College. Check them out on Corporation Street Belfast. Check the photos out below and vissit if you can but be warned, do it on a quiet day as there are cars parked in front of them during the week making it hard for photographs.
